It was time to go for Miss Cloe today.
Unfortunately she took a rapid turn for the worse this week and by yesterday she didn't want to go on walks any more, wasn't drinking enough, one of her eyes was looking bad and her breathing was worse than ever.
So, we made the the hard, terrible decision that has been coming since her diagnosis in August.
We had her put down this morning.
She got lots of extra treats last night - two chicken wings and a bunch of doggie meatballs, plus C. lifted her onto the bed and she got to spend some quality time with us.
This morning one last chicken wing (which took her much longer than usual to eat, but she wasn't giving up!) - a drive over to the park for one last sniff around and then off to the vets.
We have so many lovely memories of her, she was a truly wonderful dog with a kind heart and a great spirit. She was so tough to go through 2 bouts of cancer, so tolerant of all the pills and vet visits, with her tail wagging through it all (even this morning).She leaves a hole in our hearts that will be hard to fill. I know we have a big adventure and a lot of love coming our way in just a couple months, but right now it seems a long ways off.
Cloe girl, you are sorely missed, I hope you are off chasing rabbits to your heart's content up in doggie heaven.Hugs n' kisses

Oh, I think if the boys hadn't been in the same room I would've cried while reading this post. Poor Cloe. I remember her coming camping with us and how she loved jumping on me (because I didn't like it) and Greg (because he did.) We'll miss Cloe, too!
Oh it's so hard to see them that way but also just so hard to let them go. Run free Miss Chloe!
