Miss Chloe


Thank you so much to everyone who left a kind note, it meant so much to MOTH & I. Miss Chloe peacefully left this world yesterday afternoon, & just as the sun was going down, we buried her under the Spruce tree down on our meadow. She liked to wander down there, lie amongst the grass & wildflowers & remind the birds who's territory this really was, so it's the perfect place for her to be now.

The house seems so empty without her this morning, son #5 says its like he's lost a sister - she just adored all the boys. She missed them so much as they all left home & would be so happy to see them whenever they came back. It was a lovely warm Spring day yesterday in the Hills & during the morning I carried her outside & sat in the sun with her. I told her how much she has meant to us all & that it was OK to leave us now. Goodbye Miss, you'll be in our hearts forever.

  5. I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I can't understand people who have pets and don't feel as if they are members of the family. I cried like a baby when my dog died, still the hardest thing I have ever gone through. MB

  7. oh sweetie, my heart aches for you this morning. I lost my dear sweet Kitty in April. The pain is still raw. Sounds like Chloe had an amazing life with you and your family. What a beautiful idea about burying her in the meadow. I'm glad she's at peace. I'm sure she's in kitty-cat heaven now playing with my little one. Hugs...

  9. Oh Gosh! tears in my eyes reading your post.

    Pets always a part of the family and they're like kids.

    Just think that Ms. Chole is in the best hand now and she's in peace.

    Look at the brighter side.

    Hugs from chilly & rainy Stockholm.

  14. What a lovely area for her to rest in peace and close for you to still visit her. My two wonderful kitties are in my garden in spaces they loved to lay. My heart goes out to you!
