Dear Friends & Family of Chloe. It has taken me a few days to process. I know time was never guaranteed. My sweet furry daughter passed away on Saturday, April 12, 2025. Thank you everyone for letting me share her with all of you. She was my sidekick for 13.5 yrs. If she was allowed to come, she would travel with me to friends & family’s houses, stores, outdoor restaurants, softball games, kid’s soccers games etc… showering everyone with her love. She was the neighborhood mayor. Everyone knew her and loved her. Little kids would come running and say Chloe!!! Adults too… if she saw them coming, she would plant her paws down & not move. That tiny tail would start wagging, get faster & she would rush to you to get your loving pats or give you kisses and hugs. Yes, I said hugs. She would stand in her back paws and put her front paws and lean into you. She made everyone loved and knew what everyone needed. If you slept over, she would cry outside your door to let her in. She would abandon me that night and jump into your arms to give her love to you for that night. I wasn’t jealous. She was doing Chloe’s super power… giving everyone what they needed for that moment. She had an empathetic nature. Grandparents…she loved them. Normal non-dog people would be drawn to her. She would somehow sneak on to your bed/couch and spend hrs watching tv and sleeping at the same time😂. It was cute seeing my parents had a special bond with her & getting pictures from my friends that were dogsitting of their parents with Chloe squeezed next to them on the couch made my day. She grew up with nephews & nieces (family & friends). She loved your family just as much I do. We were equally there for each other. Chloe’s unconditional love was unique. She had a way with connecting with everyone. She never had an aggressive bark except for a few times when we were walking when a raccoon, deer, skunk & possum was almost in our path. She was protective and pulled me away! When she looked out the window, she didn’t bark at any neighbors, family or friends that walked into her eye sight. She would give an excited yelp and her body would shake with excitement. I pictured her barking to mean, “That’s my loves, my people, & my family outside… hurry up and go greet them.” I knew you were outside before you rang the doorbell. If it was stranger, her tone would be a little more aggressive. I would pull up the ring camera to hide from the sales people (solar panel, Verizon;etc) or Jehovah Witness… sorry but it made me laugh because those people thought there was this fierce dog behind the door. I tell you this because she made me feel safe. Even if it was your first time over, she knew you were part of my tribe and didn’t give you the fierce dog bark… she somehow knew. I took care of her but she took of me during many surgeries, illness, emotional support during family illness or death, pandemics; etc. You see she came into my life during a heart break & when family members were diagnosed with serious illnesses. She helped me realized my worth by loving me and I choice not to settle for second best. If I can have the best dog, I can have the best future husband. Good things come to those who wait like Chloe did in my life. You are wondering if she suffered. The answer was it was quick. She was diagnosed that morning with an enlarged heart by the vet & later on the meds weren’t working. She passed away in my arms at the hospital. She knew to wait to be in the hospital. She only showed signs for the past few days that something was off. I had a cardiology visit for tomorrow, Tuesday. I know she left the way she did because she didn’t want me to see her suffer and be alone when she left earth. The nurse at the hospital actually knew her when she used to work at Chloe’s vet. I did wonder if I could have done something different but the nurse assured me no. She reminded me why she recognized me because I would run into the vet for any little symptom. If she didn’t pass this Saturday, it would have been in weeks, months, or year. Chloe loved us so much I think that’s why she had an enlarged heart (I know that is scientifically not possible) but I think for those of you are missing her as much as I am.. it does help. If she had to leave us, an enlarged heart seems her heart couldn’t physically handle all that love for me and all of you. She needed to continue that love from heaven with the people that love me. She’s still the mayor and I know life happens and others will experience loss. Don’t worry Chloe will be doing her superpower…giving them what they need in heaven. Farewell my furry daughter. One day, when it is the right time. We will meet again. Love you forever💕🐾💔.

YOU WILL BE DEEPLY MISSED
