My husband and I have been thinking of you recently and saying that we should really send you an update on Zoe formerly known as Mattison as were coming up on the two year anniversary of her adoption. I know that many, many dogs have passed through your hands, so I can imagine that it might be hard to remember her. But Ill tell you just the same because I want to be sure that you know that your kindness and unselfish devotion to animals really does make a difference in the lives of these dogs. I can only imagine what Zoes early days were like. She was picked up as a stray so no one really knows who she was with or how she was treated.

They were very prominent at first and broke my heart, but she didnt seem any worse for the wear and the scars have faded and are much less noticeable now. When she first arrived, Zoe was a very skinny, young, goofy, curious lab with the biggest feet you ever saw. She weighed about 4. Our vet told us that she probably wouldnt ever grow into those big feet and that she was probably mostly grown we thought she was about 9 months at the time, but later figured out that she was actually a bit younger than that. Thankfully, she continued growing and filling out and her feet now seem in perfect proportion to the rest of her.

She has blossomed into a large, sweet, and gentle girl weighing in at about 6. I had initially adopted Zoe to be my dog. At least that was the plan as I am the dog person in my house. Cabbage Patch Kids Snuggle Beans' title='Cabbage Patch Kids Snuggle Beans' />My husband Ken was always indifferent to dogs. He didnt dislike them, he just didnt really pay any attention to them. That is until Zoe arrived. She immediately wormed her way into his heart in a way that I never expected. They just bonded and adore each other like you wouldnt believe. When Ken arrives home from work each day, Zoe always greets him at the door with her whole body wagging. She gets the first kiss hello. She follows Ken everywhere and loves to go in the car. She doesnt care where, just so long as shes included. When the weekend rolls around and hes home all day she just grins from ear to ear. Hes even built a special bed for her in his workshop so she can keep him company when hes puttering down there, without having to lie on the cold concrete floor. In the mornings, Zoe comes over to the bed and begins talking to us. Shop for tigger stuffed toys you will love online at Target. Free shipping and save 5 every day with your Target REDcard.

The Texarkana Gazette is the premier source for local news and sports in Texarkana and the surrounding Arklatex areas. Its not a whine or a whimper, its just talking in a way thats hard to explain. Its as if shes saying, Cmon, its morning, lets get going And of course what she really lives for is playing fetch with a tennis ball. This is her absolute favorite game and she never gets tired of it. She is fast and agile and amazingly good with her nose if the ball lands somewhere out of sight. We love watching her trot back and forth with her nose to the ground, until she zeros in on the ball. She is just amazing in so many waysHer other love is going up to camp. We have 3. 2 acres up north and Zoe loves to go. She enjoys romping through the woods and streams and occasionally flushing out rabbits. At night she just nestles up to Ken in his sleeping bag. When we had decided to adopt Zoe, our wonderful golden retriever, Mudge, was 1. I knew that Mudge wouldnt be with us forever and I couldnt bear the thought of being dog less. Also, Mudge was beginning to seem a bit depressed and lethargic because she had begun suffering from arthritis in her hips and I thought that a canine companion might cheer her up.

I am certain that Zoe is the dog she is today because she had Mudge as a role model to teach her and guide her. The two of them got along famously, but of course there were times when Zoes puppy exuberance would begin to annoy Mudge and she would bark or growl to put Zoe in her place. But for the most part they were buddies and it gave us enormous pleasure to watch the two of them snuggle up together by the couch when the family would settle down to watch TV at night. As Mudge neared the end of her days, Zoe seemed to sense that her health was failing and would go out of her way to lay down right next to her and spoon with her. I truly believe that it was Zoes way of comforting Mudge in the only way she could. She looked out for her until the day Mudge died on December 3. After Mudge was gone, Zoe was lonely and began discovering new ways to sneak out of the yard to go play with another dog that kept running loose in our neighborhood. For nearly two years shed never escaped once, and then suddenly she was leaping over a 4 foot fence without even blinking. She is a very smart girl, so of course she learned to climb and even once went over 6 ft. We have since added an additional two feet to the 4 foot fencing and scanned the perimeter of our property, removing anything that she could use to climb on, and made certain there were no other gaps. But in our hearts we knew Zoe was lonely and thought that she might even be going out to look for Mudge. Of course I was devastated at her loss myself and it nearly broke my heart every time Zoe would snuggle up to Ken with her head in his lap and my lap was conspicuously empty. After about two weeks I knew that I needed to find another companion for Zoe and I. So of course I returned to the Labs. I found Holly an approx. Natasha. She joined our family on January 2. Zoe became instant buddies. Now Zoe is acting as the mature dog, mentoring Natasha and teaching her how to behave in a home with a family. They spend hours and hours romping around our large backyard playing. Mudge was too old for rough and tumble play with Zoe, but of course Natasha is a young dog and the two of them seem to have made up several different doggie games that they never get tire of such as King of the Leaf Pile and Stealth Puppy and Doggie Tag. At night, when the family settles down in the living room, there are the two dogs, curled up by our feet or snuggled up close with their heads in our laps, and once again, all seems right with the world. Thank you so much for rescuing Zoe from the shelter and fostering her until she was adopted. I have the utmost respect and admiration for all of you folks who give of yourselves so tirelessly in an effort to save as many dogs as possible. You have inspired me to do my part as well. I fostered Surprise now called Tinker for about a month in the summer of 2. I know. I hear shes doing great, BTW and this evening, our new foster, River 6 will be arriving and we are all excited and looking forward to meeting him. I have also begun handing out your flyers and posting them around the school where I teach, and never pass up a chance to tell people about Labs. In fact, my assistant is heading down to Connecticut today to an adoption event in hopes of finding a second dog for her family. Once again, thank you for everything and keep up the good work. 3D Garden Designer Deluxe Edition. It means so much, to so many. Sincerely,Kathy Gifford  Back to top.
