Mommy and daddy are so sorry. We thought we were doing the right thing by getting the surgery done to remove that huge tumor you had in your chest. I was so worried you wouldn't make it thru the surgery, but you did. In recovery, they just couldn't get your body temperature or blood pressure up. The doctor said he thinks microscopic pieces got into your lungs and heart and that's why you couldn't breathe on your own. I now wonder if we didn't do the surgery how much time you would have had left. You were so excited that morning to go for a car ride. You were even excited when the surgeon was going over everything in the room. I never dreamed I wouldn't see you again. Everyone keeps saying we did the right thing because eventually the tumor would have invaded your other organs. But you acted so happy, healthy, and normal - - that's what hurts. You had come a long way since being our foster dog to becoming our baby girl and became such a good dog. I know you loved us and your brothers and sisters and had a blast playing with them all the time. You use to love to pick on Buster and mess with him and it was so cute. We are so very sorry this happened. I hope Nana, Grandma, Grandpa, Hannah, Parker, Dolly, Simba, Casey, Morty, and Caley greeted you at the bridge. We hope you like your new home and make lots of friends until we meet again. We will miss you terribly. It's so hard to fight back the tears. Run free sweet Chloe.

Love,

Mommy, Daddy, and all the Fur Kids

Oh Sweet Chloe, I can't believe its one year today we lost you. I have a candle lit in your memory. Again, we thought we were doing the right thing to help you. We are so sorry. We miss you and hope that you are happy in your new home basking in the green pastures under the sunshine. We will see you again some day, sweet girl. Until then remember we will always love you and miss you.

Love,

Mommy, Daddy, and all the Fur Kids

Dear Chloe, wow, 2 years today. I can't believe it. Feels like you were just here. I hope you greeted your best buddy Buster at the bridge then Mabes and Lexy. It was a rough year losing all of them just about the same time. I hope you're altogether and very happy. We miss and love you all. Please look down on us every now and then. We love you!

Love,
Mommy, Daddy, and all the Fur Kids

Oh Dear Sweet Chloe, 3 years today already. I still keep thinking of that day we thought we were helping you and things went so wrong. I still wonder if we didn't do the surgery how much time you would have had with us. You were so happy that morning going 'bye-byes.' It still breaks my heart but we thought we were helping you. I hope you greeted Uncle Huckles, Spunky, and Pop-Pop at the bridge. Please know that we love you very much. We love and miss all of you. Please know that and we will all be together again some day. Run free sweet girl, until then.

Love,
Mommy, Daddy, and and all the Fur Kids

Hi sweet girl, 4 years this night we lost you. This morning I had thought of when we put you in the car for 'bye-byes' and you were so excited. I will never forget that. I feel like I took your life away prematurely and I'm so sorry for that. I can't fight back the tears as I type this. Please forgive us as we were trying to help you. That was major surgery. We have been very lucky and I'm so grateful and thankful that we haven't lost a fur baby in almost 1 1/2 years. Harry and Dexter have some health issues now. I try to do right by all my babies. Please know that. I hope you all are one big happy family at the bridge. We love each and every one of you.

Love,
Mommy, Daddy, and all the Fur Kids

Hi there Chloe Bean, 5 years ago tonight you left for the bridge. I still think of that morning when we took you for surgery. You were so excited in the front yard on your leash and when you got in the back seat of the car. You were even happy in the room when the doctor spoke to us. If I would have known that would be the last time we would see you, I wouldn't have allowed the surgery. The only thing is that tumor would have gotten even bigger than it was and daddy and I would have had to make that awful decision to let you go. We just were not ready to lose you that day and we are so very sorry. We love you very much and you came such a long way from when we first fostered you. I know you loved us. I hope you greeted Dexter and Boots at the bridge and that all of you are together and happy. It was so cute when you use to pick on Buster and he would show his teeth to you. Run fee my sweet girl with all your brothers and sisters. We all will be together again some day! We love all of you!

Love,

Mommy, Daddy, and all the Fur Kids

3/19/19 - Hi Beaner! Six (6) years ago this night you left us. I was just telling daddy this morning that it was 6 years ago this am you were out front on your leash wagging your tail and wiggling your butt so happy to go for a car ride and so happy in the back seat and being such a good girl on that long car ride to GSVS. You were still so young, and I never thought that would happen, and I cannot say enough how sorry I am and how guilty I still feel. I hope you greeted Moby, Scooter, Ollie, and Ernie at the bridge and are showing them the ropes. I hope you and Benny have reunited. You guys were best buds when he was our furry foster kid. Please be happy and always look down on us every now and then - - all of you, because each and every one of you have taken a piece of mommy and daddy's heart when you left us. We will always love you all and see you again some day. Please be nice to Buster, sweet girl.

Love,

Mommy, Daddy, and all the Fur Kids

3/26/20 - Seven (7) years ago this month (so sorry this is late) we lost you. I still can't believe it. The same thing happened to Myron in January. We did right by him doing the surgery, and he made it through - but not recovery. It is so hard to make that decision. I hope you greeted Chrissy, Toby, Uncle Harry, and Myron and that you are all together so very happy in your beautiful home. This house is crazy as ever as mommy keeps getting dogs/puppies. Fred has calmed down a bit but Boomer is nuts. We hadn't fostered in a long time, but then brought in Mya. She is crazy now too. Things are tough right now for us. Please look down at us and give us a sign everything will be okay and watch over us. Mommy needs all of you, and I love and miss every single one of you so much!

Love,

Mommy, Daddy, and all the Furry Kids

3/19/21 - Eight (8) years ago this night the doctor called with the horrible news. I still don't understand how you made it thru that complex surgery but could not get thru recovery. My heart still breaks about that. Please know how much daddy and I love and miss you. I hope you greeted Patch (even though you didn't know him), Noel, and Sierra. There are so many of you at the bridge, and I hope you are all happy, together, and getting along. Please be nice to Buster. The house is crazy. Boomer is still nuts and chews everything. The house is destroyed. None of you were bad like that. I think the only dog left that you knew is Jesse. She has lower airway disease, but meds help a bit. She's a lil spit fire. I miss all of us being at the pool. I hope you get to see your buddy Benny. Bask in the sun, run thru the green meadows, and drink from the crystal streams. Mommy and daddy love and miss every single one of you and our hearts hurt really bad. We will see you again some day.

Love,

Mommy, Daddy, and all the Furry Kids

3/21/22 - Nine (9) years ago on the 19th (sorry this is late) we lost you. Sometimes I procrastinate coming on the Rainbow Bridge because it hurts so much. Oh sweet girl, please be happy in your new home. I hope you greeted Sierra, Hailey, and Bogey. The house is still crazy with Boomer and now Sophie. She just has so much energy and she is loud. I also hope Benny is with you. Mommy and daddy miss every single one of you.Jesse is till a lil spit fire and still has her cough. She is the only doggy left that you knew. Mommy and daddy are so sorry what happened to you. We thought we were doing the right thing. Please always look down at us. We love and miss every single one of you.

Love,

Mommy, Daddy, and all the Furry Kids

3/22/25 - Dear Chloe, it's been Twelve (12) years on the 19th. Now we just lost Zinnia (ZZ) on the 16th. I hope you greeted her at the Bridge even though you didn't know her as well as Stanley 1/13/25, Daddy 8/14/24, Jesse 1/25/24, Jazzy 9/27/23, Walter, 7/3/23, and Cheyanne 4/14/23.It has been rough. Holly is the only kitty left. She is 18 and was daddy's nurse when he was sick. You should remember her. It's so weird to have one cat. I'm use to a houseful of dogs and cats. Giggy has issues, I hope I don't lose him any time soon. He's had cancer and two surgeries for it but it came back both times. He's a lil spit fire though and that's what keeps you going. Mommy's life has completely changed. It's weird, this new normal for me. God has given me so much strength through it all. I owe it ALL to HIM. The house just isn't the same anymore like with the old crew, your crew. I have to do ZZ's Rainbow Bridge yet. These are getting so hard to do. I love and miss every single one of you. You have each taken a piece of my heart. I don't have much of one left. I will see you all soon. Please come running, knock me over, and give me lots of kisses. I love you. sweet girl.

Love,

Mommy, Holly, Fred, Boomer, Sophie, Mya, GG, and Louie
