Modern Vespa

This morning at 0413 local time my friend/family member of 17 Years passed away in my arms.

Her name was Chloe and she was a long haired Chihuahua. She yelped a couple times as though something was hurting her but was mainly calm and I sat and rocked her as well as patted and stroked her as her breathing got slower and more shallow. It then turned to agonal breathing as her life slipped from her.

I cried while this occurred, something which is unusual for me, but I'm glad we could share these last moments together.

She will be missed. Not the best start of a day but comfort in knowing that she didn't suffer long and that I was able to spend our last minutes together with love.

While I do have pictures there are none that I can upload here at this time.

I know this isn't anywhere near scooter related but I felt I needed to let someone know without waking anyone and help relieve a small portion of the loss.

I'm sorry to hear of your loss. It's tough to lose a good companion like that. I'm sure she had 17 good years with you.

O am so sorry for you. I have a dog too although not the age of yours

Best wishes.

Very sorry for your loss, losing a furred friend is never easy....

Very sorry for your loss.

Sorry for your loss.
Sounds like she had a good life, an old lady at the age of 17.

I have a dog too, still young and hopefully many years to come.

So sorry to hear of the loss of your dog.

I too have an old chihuahua (mix), and as soon as she got to our house 5 years ago, she decided that I was her person... she thinks she owns me.

When you're ready, there are plenty of little dogs waiting in shelters just hoping for a home.

LOL...Chihuahuas (great little dogs) tend to think they own everyone and everything, the smaller the dog the bigger the kingdom...

Bless you - we had a gorgeous long haired siamese cat whose death really hit me hard - I feel for you. X

My miniature schnauzer means everything to me. My worst day will be the day he kicks the bucket. So sorry for your loss.

Sorry to hear about this

So sorry as well, it is the hardest part of pet ownership. We have a 3 year old and 14 year old Yorkie. The 14 year old has given us a few scares and we know she will probably not be around all that much longer.

Th eating is they bring far more joy than sadness. I believe George Carlin said life is just a series of dogs. In my case that's a pretty true statement.

So sorry. Losing a furkid at any age is hard. Like others have said, 17 years is a good run. My fav pet (French Lop rabbits) only have a lifespan of 5-7yrs. Mine have only lived for 5yrs. I make every day of that 5yrs count.

Sending you sympathetic hugs! My furbaby will be 15 in June and in the last few months has started to, sadly, show her age. I consider her my "firstborn" and when she goes, we are all going to fall apart rather badly.

Sorry to hear of Chloe passing. You gave her the comfort she needed to pass from this world.

It's a blessing to have been able to spend those last moments together, but your lasting memory should be of the great times you spent over the last 17 years together.

Your heart will hurt for a while, but trust in knowing you gave a loving home to Chloe.

Thank you all for the kind words and thoughts. This forum has become known for not only it's assistance in technical matters with scooters but also with the long distance support when it's needed.

So sorry, spell DOG backwards and it is GOD
Good Bless

DoorBuster,

There are no words ... just full understanding!!!

Until one day, you meet her at the Rainbow Bridge ...

Peace and Blessings,

I've been through that before. I'm very sorry. I'm glad you got to be there at the end.

So sorry to hear this and my best wishes to you. I have an 18 going on 19 year old Border Collie. Everyday I come home and hope she's there to see me.
