Oh, Lynn, I'm so so sorry. Losing a beloved pet is one of the most heartbreaking events of one's life. Both of my Boxers are 10yo (very old by Boxer standards) and I'm starting to get moments of deep sadness knowing they may not be with us much longer.

Do what you can to heal and bask in sweet memories of Chloe. oxox

Oh my, I am so sorry, Lynn. Sounds like your brood has put you through the wringer of late. Maybe Chloe decided she wasn't going to be left out and in fact be the crown jewel in the triad of canines challenging their owners! The only word to describe it, IMO, is agony. I've seen "sibling" dogs mourn these losses as well, and it's remarkable. The suddenness of it must make it that much more difficult to come to grips with.

Fortunately for dogs, they live in the moment, so for sure Chloe is content. I don't know what happens to anyone after the fact, but I do know that dogs sure bring a slice of Heaven to us while they're here.

And for many dogs, people like you bring a slice of Heaven to them, by providing them wonderful homes, a lot of love, and Milk Bone flavored drapes. Pat yourself on the back for having done that for Chloe.

So very sorry for all you're going through. I hope Sasha and Ronin have a stretch now of good health.

it's so hard to lose pets-- I never lost one suddenly- that must be even harder! :( my condolences!

So sorry to hear about your pup. Glad you are taking the time to grieve and take care of the other two.

I am so very sorry, Lynn. I know what a difficult and sad time this is for you and your family.

I am so sorry for your loss of Chloe, Lynn. I know it is a time of great sadness for you and your family and hope your other pups will keep bringing you joy and happiness. Also hope Ronin wil keep improving! Hugs!

Oh I'm so sorry. Hugs to you all including Sasha and Ronin . I hate losing pets, it so sad and distressing and yet, for some reason, I feel the need to have them in my life and I always wind up with more. And I too believe that all pets go to Heaven.

Oh Lynn, my heart breaks for you.. much love to you and your family (which includes furry ones!)

(((((((HUGS))))))

I am so sorry for your loss.

I am so sorry.

I, too, am so very sorry to hear you've lost your little fur baby. I hope your other "kids" will do what they can to fill the void.

I'm so sorry. Type away if it helps. We're here to listen.

Lynn - It's been a hard year for you and all your family this past year+. I'm so sorry your sweet Chloe is gone. Hoping all the "Linens" do better soon. Java

Lynn I am so sorry for your loss. Chloe is in heaven and hopefully my boys Buddy & Yanni along with their sister Casey will welcome her just like all the great people here on GW/Houzz do for all "newcomers"

Wow, you've been through a lot. Then to lose your sweetie. I'm so sorry.

I'm sorry for your loss. There is so much joy and heartache with our pets. You are a wonderful fur-mom.

Thank you all for your kind, kind words of comfort. They're helping a lot. I feel lethargic and numb today, but am trying to focus more on my many happy memories with Chloe. Despite her small, 11-pound size and mellow demeanor, she has always been the alpha dog of the bunch. Ronin and Sasha are acting quite lost today, but we've been snuggling together in the family room watching the Property Brothers and I think that close physical contact is helping us all. Again, thank you so much!

Sure wish I could give you a hug & a shoulder to cry on, Lynn. I am so sorry your darling Chloe is gone, poor little thing. I imagine Brutuses was there to welcome Chloe with loving, gentle arms.

Oh Lynn, I am so very sorry to hear of the sudden loss of your beloved Chloe. Sudden loss is absolutely devastating, so unexpected and so bewildering.

We lost our beloved Springer Spaniel, Dakota (a rescue dog, whom we adopted when he was one) in a similar manner. It was awful, simply awful for our family. We still miss him to this day, but are grateful that he was "THE" family dog, the one that the kids will always remember!

I do believe that dogs cross the "rainbow bridge" and romp freely without pain.

Sending hugs your way, Lynn.

Lynn, our fur babies are nature's work of perfection, the only flaw is that they leave us too soon. I am so sorry for your loss. --Lukki

My sweet Chloe, taken just a week ago

I don't have any words of wisdom to impart, but I am just so sorry for you.

Lynn, I'm so very sorry for your loss. She was beautiful!

Lynn, I am so sorry to hear of your sudden loss of Chloe.

I am so sorry, Lynn. It's never easy, nor does it ever get any easier losing them. Spend as much extra time as you can with Sasha and Ronin. You will all benefit from that.

Big (((HUGS))).

Oh, ((Lynn)) I'm so sorry your sweet Chloe is gone. I know your furbabies have always been such a big part of your life and this is a huge loss for all of you. What a precious face she had.

Lynn, I am so sorry to hear this. Chloe looks like such a sweetheart. She was lucky to have you and I'm sure she had a wonderful life with you.

You have been through a lot! Take good care of yourself. Hugs--

What a beautiful girl. So sorry for your loss.

I too mourn with you Lynn. It's so DAMN hard losing the furry loved-ones! I know at some level, the rest of your brood "knows". Be with them, & take care of YOU too.

Thinking of you!

Sorry to hear this, Lynn. It's devastating to lose a beloved pet.

So sorry for your loss. Even with Sasha and Ronin to help you, I'm sure the house feels a bit empty now. In the middle of your grief it seems almost impossible to imagine recovering from the loss of a companion like Chloe, but as I know you know you do . . . somehow. She was a beautiful girl.

Gosh, just looking at the picture of beautiful Chloe made me want to cry, the pain is awful when you lose your little pal. I've experienced it and there is serious mourning a an awful lost feeling. It knocks you for a loop along with the rest of the family. I used to see my dog for weeks like teeny glimpses of him which were all in my head but real at the time. I'm counting on seeing my furbabies when I meet my maker, for sure.

What a beautiful little girl. I'm so sorry for you, your family and Ronin & Sasha.

Lynn, I'm in tears as I write my condolences to you and your family. It's always been apparent that your dogs are such a big part of your family.

I lost my oldest, my beloved Sam, on 2/24. He lived to be 14 years and 10 months, and was loving and wagging his tail til the end.

We give them our love and care and get so much more from them. From my dog loving home to yours, we send our sympathy.

what sad news, how hard this must be for you. I wish you strength and courage, she looks adorable.

Lynn, I am so very sorry for you and your family. I know your precious Chloe is romping in heaven. Sending healing, comforting thoughts to you and yours.

Lynn, so sorry for your loss. Wishing you and your other fur babies comfort in the days to come.

Lynn, so sorry for your loss. Hope Ronin and Sasha are doing okay. I know it's hard on all of you. (hugs)

Oh Lynn... I'm so sorry for your the loss of your precious Chloe. She's such a cute little darlin'. Praying for healing for healing for you and your family and other fur babies.

I am so sorry that you have lost your little girl. I can't imagine how hard that is. I have two 14 year old girls and one had 2 vertigo attacks this fall and I was a mess. She really seems to have had a setback from them.
Again, so sorry to hear this.

I am so sorry. It's heartbreaking when our fur babies cross the bridge. Never, ever easy.

So sad. I'm very sorry, Lynn.

I am so very sorry for your loss... I've been there and understand how all of you must miss Chloe so much that it hurts. My first Dobie broke my heart when I lost her - so give Ronin a hug, as I'm sure he's a sensitive boy.

What an angel she is!! It is so hard to lose them.

Awww, thank you all so much. It's getting a bit easier every day, but the hole in my heart still hurts a lot. Today was the first day I left Ronin and Sasha to meet a friend in town for lunch. The "kids" did ok while I was gone and we went for a nice walk when I got home. Today is the first day Emily has not called me from college sobbing because she's mourning her Chloe Bear. So, I'm hoping that she's healing now, too.

Stratfordroad: thank you for that. I truly believe that we will, and since I've had dogs I've loved pretty much my entire life, there will be a huge, happy pack meeting up with me someday. That's a good thought to hang on to :^ )
