Hello to all my Pommy Mommies!
As I was opening up all of my exciting messages that you send me every week on the Pommy Mommy Facebook page, I came across a message from a fellow Pommy Mommy named Sheila.
As I was reading her message it brought tears to my eyes. She wrote to me that her beautiful Chloe had just recently passed away. When our beloved Pomeranians go to heaven, there can be so much sorrow in our hearts. As I was reading her story I thought about all of the great memories that I had with my Pommies who are waiting for me at the “Rainbow Bridge.” This story touched me so much I asked her if I could share her story with all of my lovely readers. 🙂 So why am I sharing a sad story you ask?!?! Because it’s raw, truthful and powerful… and it has a very happy ending. Read and see!
Chloe
Dear Pommy Mommy,
I am so sad to report my beloved Pommy Chloe, passed away very suddenly and unexpected from congestive heart failure. It came on so fast, I had no clue. I rushed her to the pet ER that is about 6 minutes from my house at 2AM on Tues May 7. They tried everything to save her. I am still devastated and shocked by the whole thing as I took such good care of her. She had the best of care and was fed the best food … she left me way too soon.
On June, 2, 2013 Chloe would have been 8 years old. My heart aches every day for her, she was and will always be my precious baby girl. It’s so hard living without her as this furry baby was my best friend.
Needless to say, they say things happen in the strangest ways, I swore I couldn’t get another one. She was my first Pomeranian. I previously had a Shitzu/Poodle mix and Chihuahua that also broke my heart yrs ago. These Pomeranians, steal your heart like I cannot explain. A dear friend of mine took me out very shortly after Chloe passed, as I was in bed sobbing. We did not go out looking for puppies at all, as I was still

crying and upset. Would you believe, we came across a pet store near our home, actually this lady is a private breeder, only goes on word of mouth. I went in with my friend, having no idea, there was a white and cream pom staring right at me, yelping at me. I burst into

tears, and let’s just say she came home with me. I felt guilty with regret. I could have taken her back but she was so wonderful. I named her Maggie May.
I’m still struggling with my broken heart but little Maggie May has won me over. It’s funny how we are already in sync… I get up to take her potty and she already knows how to let me know she needs to go out. It seems like she actually talks back to me when I talk to her, we are becoming good buddies.
Maggie, me and my husband are adjusting, I still have my hard times, but I think Chloe sent me to this little girl. It’s so strange, but I really feel she sent me right to Maggie. I love your website and your pictures on Facebook. I couldn’t look at them for a while but I want to send you 2 pictures of Chloe in her memory(she’s the brindle beauty, first 2, 1 with trimmed hair and 2nd with her full coat) and I’ll send 2 of my new friend Maggie May, she’s the white one. No one could ever take my Chloe’s
Maggie
place in my heart, but Maggie is trying her best to heal my heart.
Sincerely,
Sheila

Hi Sheila I was wondering where you found that pen I like the color. I have three pomeranians my self two boys and a girl. I lost my mom 4 years ago. So it was my dad and the two boys I was the only female. Until I found a female pom in the paper I named her penny after my mom. She is always happy and always by my side. She is only a year old I don’t know what I would do with out her. I love her very much. She likes to pick on my other two poms
Sheila,
So sorry for your loss. I too have a little Chloe, she’s just a year old and was basically a rescue. She has some health issues, but I feel very blessed to have her in my life. Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you and I know Maggie will help you get through this!
Take care,
Laurie
Dear Sheila, I also lost my baby girl too early. A 2 year old Pom. She was my daughter and we had a special bond. I felt guilt, thought I did something wrong. I once went to a reader who told me every detail about my dog and told me her name Tika. She told my why she died and that she’s always with me. And that I made a good choice adopting another named boo boo lol. After a year of having him, I transferred all the love I had left over to him. I’m completely in love with my Pom now. I still love my girl always, but its okay to save a life and bring home another dog. They need good homes like ours and shell help you heal. God bless
Dear Sheila,
This story brought tears to my eyes!! So, so sorry for your loss of Chloe, but so overjoyed that you now have Maggie May and she can help heal your pain. Enjoy your new little one:)
Love,
Pom Mom Jaime Mowers
I’m sobbing as I type this. I hope you have many happy years with your baby and I’m truly sorry to hear about your loss. The rainbow bridge story helps me. Makes me cry but helps.
Hey Sheila,
I am so very sorry for your loss. I have two Poms, Sashay and Babette. They are sisters that will be 8 years in December. My Babette has Incurable cancer. My vet referred me to an oncology veterinarian. It started on the roof of her mouth and my vet first saw it when they were cleaning and extracting teeth. The Oncologist told me chemo or radiation wouldn’t help because of the location. My husband and I were in the office with the doctor and I was inconsolable. Screams of pain, a broken heart, that was me. I’ve had them since they were pups and they are spoiled, very well cared for. If it weren’t for the fur, I’d told people they were biologically mine, lol. This was back in April, they told me she had 3 weeks to 2 months. Here we are almost in August and she is still here with me. Up to a week ago, she was the same Babette, then she started showing signs of weakness, dry mouth. She still eats, just not as much, and I have to give her water through a syringe. My point is that I did get to keep my Babette for awhile longer, and I wouldn’t have given this time up for anything, but you little Chloe left quickly, and I’m sitting here wondering if I am prolonging my baby’s agony. Am I wrong? She’s not in any pain, and if I feel she is, I have pet pain meds to give her when that time comes. Your heart is broken, your new baby will never take her place, but she will comfort you. My Sashay is always checking on me and her sister. I worry about her too, how she will take the loss. Take care friend, and give little Maggie May an extra hug tonight, just because she’s there for you.
Sincerely, Pat
