Rest in Peace: My Chloe Girl

My Beautiful Chloe

I  have started to write this post many, many times.  I am still too fragile to go in to much detail really.  I didn't think it was possible to cry this many tears.  I feel like a part of me went with her.  Thank God I have Juliet and Romey.  I would not have been able to deal with this without them.

Chloe was my very first Bichon Frise.  I fell in love with her the very moment I saw her at ten weeks of age.  She was with me night and day for almost fifteen years.  She followed me wherever I went.  We literally did everything together.  And I do mean everything.  What a special bond we had.  I cannot put in to words how I felt as I said my final goodbye.  

She suffered a seizure here at home.  Rushed to the vet and they said to watch her.  She came out of that one after a little while.  That evening she had another one.  It took her longer to come out of it.  None of us slept that night.  Early in the morning she had her third seizure and I knew.   At this point, she could not see or hear.  She was confused and frightened.

I knew it was her time.

I will treasure each and every single second that we shared.

Had a conversation with Juliet and Romey...and let them say goodbye.

Chloe will always live on in our hearts ... My One and Only Chloe Girl.

Forever and ever.

There is a bridge connecting Heaven and Earth.

It is called the Rainbow Bridge because of all its beautiful colors.

Just this side of the Rainbow Bridge there is a land of meadows, hills and valleys with lush green grass.

When a beloved pet dies, the pet goes to this place. 

There is always food and water and warm spring weather. 

The old and frail animals are young again. 

Those who were sick, hurt or in pain are made whole again. 

There is only one thing missing, 

they are not with their special person who loved them so much on earth. 

So each day they run and play until the day comes 

when one suddenly stops playing and looks up! 

The nose twitches! The ears are up! 

The eyes are staring and this one runs from the group! 

You have been seen and when you and your special friend meet, 

you take him in your arms and hug him. 

He licks and kisses your face again and again - 

and you look once more into the eyes of your best friend and trusting 

pet. 

Then you cross the Rainbow Bridge together never again to be apart.
