Chloe 1993-2007

I had to make that decision that those of us with pet companions hate to make. Chloe has had kidney diease for a while and had been doing pretty well. Over the last month or so she was going down hill. Over the last few days she was failing fast. Yesterday, Novemeber 3,2007, I helped her cross over to the rainbow bridge.

I've had Chloe since she was 5 weeks old. She was born to a feral in Texas. I captured Momma and kittens. Got Momma spayed and found her a home and tamed the kittens and got them adopted out. I kept Chloe and a sibling, Chibi, who had to be put to sleep at a younger age for health reasons.

At the time had Nermal as well. So at night when we went to bed Nermal would take her place on the bed, as would Chibi. Chloe waited. I would call for her. But she wouldn't join us. When she and Chibi were wee tiny kittens, I kept them in a pet kennel at night. They always knew when I was going to put them in as they would start running ;) I would grab Chibi and Chloe was the escape artist. I would say I got a Chibi. I need a Chloe. So, as it turns out, at night when we went to bed, she wouldn't come if I called Chloe, but if I called.... I need a Chloe, she would come running. To the very last days of her life that stayed with us. :-)

I brushed her and wiped her down, even in distress she purred for me. I told her she was a pretty girl. I got to the veterinarian's - went to the room, got her out of the pet carrier. I told her I loved her, that she was a good girl and I was sorry. I asked her to forgive me for my shortcomings. I told her Nermal and Chibi would welcome her to the rainbow bridge and please give them a hug for me. Gentle kisses and tears to the last seconds.

I need a Chloe.
