Nov 2014

After our beloved Abby (Cavalier King Charles Spaniel) died in my arms, I was looking within two days of her death. I was heartbroken and sad and Jack (Mutt #1) didn't know what to do with himself or with me.

We adopted Chloe from a rescue a week later. She is not Abby (and Abby was not Kelly....) but she is perfectly Chloe and helped healed my heart.

I'm sorry for your loss. Good luck to you in your decision and search!
