It has been a very stressful time for me, losing my precious Chia. She was almost 17 and had congestive heart failure. My husband, the vet, gave her sedation, and she fell asleep in my arms before he took her away to euthanize her. He said she passed easily and peacefully. I was beyond devastated, and the next morning, we went to PomHaven in Canada and brought home a beautiful 3 month old puppy.
I am still feeling so sad to have lost Chia, but Chichi makes me laugh and is helping me to recover. She and I will be back in Florence early April and I will have fun introducing her to all of my friends there. She loves everyone! I was so lucky to find her on short notice. She weighs 2.5# and will be about 4# when she is full grown. As one of my friends said: Chichi has some big paws to fill.
Still so sad about Chia, and so happy we got to enjoy her on our trip. I know that Chichi will be the belle of the ball when you introduce her to Florence.!!
Thank you, darling one.
What a little sweetheart!
Aw! Rest in peace, Chia. I have a picture with her from my time in Florence. What an amazing little girl.
Thank you karen. ?
Dear Maren,
So sorry to hear of the loss of Chia. We look forward to getting back to Florence one day and meeting Chichi!
I’m so sorry to hear about Chia. I fell in love with her when she shopped in Florence. Glad you got Chichi though. You’re right, she’s going to be good company!
Have a good spring! Think of you often. Is Fabio( I think that’s his name.) still alive?
Blessings to you,
May the wonderful times you shared remain as fond memories.
So sorry for your loss. My entire family has fond memories of Chia.
I am so sorry for your loss. I hope your many wonderful memories may bring you some comfort. Losing a beloved dog is truly terrible.
I’m so very sorry to hear about the loss of your sweet Chia. We were lucky enough to shop with her, gosh almost 8 years ago. Run free sweet girl. We hope to meet Chici in Florence sooner rather than later.
Thank you, Betty.
So very sorry to hear of your loss. I so enjoyed meeting her when I was in Florence with you. I truly relate since I too lost my beloved Rowdy years ago. I have no doubt that Chichi will bring you joy as well.
Thank you, Erika.
So sorry to hear of Chia’s passing. We loved having Chia accompany us on our shopping tour. Dogs are very special friends.
Thank you, Tanya.
