My Baby Chloe

I put my Chloe down today. I feel horrible and have this horrible empty feeling inside because I know I won't see her again until it's my time to pass away.

She was so beautiful inside and out. She was very friendly, even though she was sick.

I can't stand this terrible feeling. I wish I kept her alive but it would have been cruel to her...I never wanted her to ever suffer.

She had these soft brown eyes and this sweet gaze. She was black and had a beautiful face. She had adorable mannerisms. She would paw very politely if she wanted whatever you were eating. She would nudge me every morning with her cold nose to go outside. She loved going for walks. She sniffed everything. There were maybe one or two people in her whole life that she didn't care for. She went up to everyone in a friendly way. Because she was so beautiful everyone she went up to smiled and petted her. The groomer and vet loved her too. When ever I took her to the vet she would lean on me and put her head on my lap. I always put my arm around her so she knew she was safe.

I wish she was still here. There is a special place in my heart that is just for Chloe forever. I find myself looking forward to the day I leave this earth just to be with her again.

I bought her a beautiful collar and leash and she had a special fleece coat for the winter. I actually bought her many pretty collars. She knew she was special and loved her collars and coat.

I cooked her food (ground turkey and rice with cheese) and mixed it with her dry crunchies. She loved it and looked forward to it every morning.

My heart is broken and I don't know how long this will last. I have children and they need to see me happy again, but I don't know how I will do that. They are all sad and cried about Chloe, but they have their friends and they forget momentarily. I sit here missing her holding her little pink pearl necklace. I miss my sweet girl so.
