Zoe is one of Nicole Begley's many loves in this lifetime. She spent too few years in the comfort of Nicole's home in Pittsburgh and then North Carolina, after being found by firefighters in a bucket of water in Puerto Rico.
Nicole is the lead educator at Hair of the Dog Academy, a platform that teaches pet photographers, like me, how to master our craft and launch then build our businesses.
If it wasn't for Nicole, well, I don't know where a lot of us would be.
And many of us met Zoe, an always smiling pup, on the webinars during which we learn the ins and outs of our businesses.
Then Zoe died.
Very suddenly, very tragically.
I remember Nicole publishing a podcast shortly after about how some companies go above and beyond for their customer. She revealed that Chewy.com sent her a card and flowers when called them to possibly return an unopened bag of food.
She cried.
Her sorrow and pain cut through me like a knife. I wanted so badly to reach out through the airwaves and hug her.
Today, we are remembering Zoe … and many of the other animals to whom Nicole has bid farewell, many of them suddenly and tragically.
We honor their lives with their stories.
