FEB.4,1998--AUG.24,1998 Chloe is sadly missed by Dee Destefano.
IN MEMORY OF MY CHLOE: I LOST MY BELOVED CHLOE ON AUG.24,1998. HOW LOST I AM WITHOUT HER NOW.I REMEMBER WHEN I FIRST LAID EYES ON HER AND FELL TOTALLY IN LOVE WITH THIS LITTLE FUR BALL,SO SMALL SHE FIT IN MY HANDS.OH THOSE WONDERFUL TIMES WE PLAYED TOGETHER AND EVEN TESTED EACH OTHER TIME TO TIME. THE NIGHTS SHE GAVE ME COMFORT WHEN I WAS SAD AND DOWN AND BRINGING TEARS TO MY EYES FROM LAUGHING SO HARD FROM HER ANTICS AND PLAYFULNESS. SHE WAS AN EASY GOING DOG. ALWAYS OUT TO PLEASE EVERYONE. NO MATTER WHERE WE WENT EVERYONE LOVED HER. THE YEARS WERE GOING BY AND YOU COULD SEE IN CHLOE THAT THERE WERE MAYBE JUST AFEW MORE LEFT, BUT THOSE FEW TURNED IN TO SUDDENLY AUG.24,1998.
I CAME HOME FROM WORK AND SHE DIDN'T COME OUT TO THE KITCHEN AS SHE ALWAYS DID WHEN SHE HEARD THE GARAGE DOOR.I FOUND HER IN THE LIVING ROOM TRYING TO CROSS THE ROOM TO ME BUT SHE KEPT FALLING OVER ON TO HER SIDE. I PICKED HER UP AND SAW ABLANK LOOK COMING FROM HER EYES AND SHAKING ALL OVER. THERE WAS NOTHING THE VET COULD DO FOR MY LITTLE CAIRNE TERRIER, THE BRAIN TUMOUR WAS TOO BIG.I HAD A DECISION TO MAKE. I HELD HER IN MY ARMS ONE LAST TIME AS SHE TOOK HER LAST AND FINAL BREATH AND SLIPPED AWAY PEACEFULLY INTO DOG HEAVEN. MY CHLOE HAD GIVEN ME HER UNDYING LOVE FOR 11 YEARS. AS I SAT HOME THAT EVENING, I LOOKED AT EVERY PLACE SHE EVER WAS AND COULD SEE THE YEARS OF HER GROWING UP FLASHING BEFORE MY EYES AS IF THEY WERE YESTERDAY WHILE MY HEART WAS RIPPING WITH SO MUCH HURT KNOWING THAT I WOULD NEVER BE ABLE TO SAY "WHERE'S MY GIRL" OR "CHLOE WANT A COOKIE".
I LOVE YOU CHLOE, AND I KNOW YOU HEARD ME AS I HELD YOU,AND FELT FROM YOU TELLING ME, I LOVE YOU TOO MOMMY AND I'LL ALWAYS BE WITH YOU AND YOU GAVE ME 11 WONDERFUL YEARS OF ALWAYS BEING MY BEST FRIEND TOO. SO TO YOU MY CHLOE, MAY YOU REST IN PEACE AND SOMEDAY YOU AND I WILL AGAIN RUN AND PLAY BALL, FOR YOU WILL ALWAYS REMAIN IN THAT SPECIAL PLACE IN MY HEART AND THOUGHTS.
