Today I lost a dear friend of mine. No it's not the average type of friend, but still a loyal friend nonetheless. My wonderful dog and companion Chloe had to be put down today. I noticed last night that she had chewed all of her fur off her hip and that she wouldn't get up. So, I had my husband check on her and he said he didn't think she would make it through the night. She was really mopey and wouldn't eat. She looked fine Monday to me. Needless to say, when he got home today she wasn't responsive and just laid there. The spot on her hip worse than before. He rushed her to the vet and was told that she had gone into Catastrophic Kidney Failure. Even if they flushed her veins and pumped her kidneys she only had a 30% chance to make it. It just sucks cause she was part of the family. I have had her for close to 6 years and she was my baby. I will always remember her and she will always have a special part of my heart. Sorry if this sounds stupid to anyone but she was part of the family and it's like losing someone that you have taken care of and cared for. SO, I wanted to give her a memorial on my blog and just vent and cry and let it all out. Sorry the post is a downer, but I had to write about her. I had to give her a place in my blog all her own.
So in Memory of my dear Chloe: Gone but will never be forgotten. November 2001-May 2007

Roxie is going to be lonely now!! That is awful! Any idea what caused the Kidney failure? I would lose my mind if my Beagle Barney died.....Abby would also! She loves that dog and freaks when we have to board him anywhere if we go on vacation. When she comes home everyday she kneels down, hugs him, and says "i missed you boy you're my best friend" Brings tears to my eyes...I know what you mean by saying Chloe was a part of the family. I love my Barn Dog....
Thankfully Nathan has taken it quite well...WHEW!!! Don't know what caused it though. wish i did. but at least she is at peace now and not suffering anymore. still doesn't help the hurt but it will get better. Thanks for the encouragement!!! :)
