So sorry for your loss. I'm sure she lived a wonderful life with you. They are such little treasures. It is too bad that we don't get to enjoy them longer.

You mentioned adopting a new little girl. Same breed?

the hand that stroked my fur and sweet voice which called my name.
I will to the sad, scared shelter pet,
the place I had in my human’s loving heart of which there seemed no bounds.
So, when I die, please do not say, “I will never have a pet again,
for the loss and pain are more than I stand.”
Instead, go find an unloved pet– one whose life has held no joy or hope,
and give MY place to HIM.
This is the only thing that I can give.
The love I left behind.
This is my inheritance!
My Will and My Last Testament.

This is one of the most beautiful and touching poems I have ever read. Thank you so much for sharing this.

To the OP, I too have a toy poodle, and it will be a very sad day when it is time for his journey to The Rainbow Bridge. I hope you find a new family member soon to fill your home with joy again.

I'm glad the poem touched you like it did me. I tear up every time I read it. I had a beloved shelter dog for 14 years. When she died I swore NEVER again. 3 weeks later I went back to the shelter and brought home our beloved Cocker, Rudy, the love of our lives! Please don't hesitate to bring another fur baby into your home. Chloe would have wanted it that way.

I will be on the lookout for a new baby "shelter dog" If any one knows some one in the Villages that is unable to keep their tiny fur ball please let them know I am looking.
Very small female dog
Thanks every one for your continued support--I went to Pet Smart yesterday and found a wonderful male white poodle seven years old--we decided that due to the fact that that we have the multi-poo it would be unfair to the new dog--this dog needs attention--he was owned by a lady who passed away--he has all of the AKC paperwork--like my Chloe did his name is Bobbi Mc Gee.

I am so sorry for your loss, I lost my baby boy 6 (maltese) years ago and still tear up at his memory. Time does heal but it is not over night. Getting a new companion will help. Good luck.

I am really sorry for your loss. Some needy poodle is about to become the luckiest dog alive.

When we lost our golden, Bear, who was the first dog we raised from a puppy (the first two were rescues), I thought the sky was falling. I threw everything of his out (stupid--as if that could ease the pain), and then the vet delivered his ashes, collar, and a cement paw print with a ribbon, that you could use as a tree ornament. This was Thanksgiving, and every Christmas the vet put up a tree with angel ornaments with the names of pets who had passed away. There he was, right in the front.

This was all to, too much. We were of two opinions about getting another puppy so soon. But the angel tree put me over the top. Our "puppy" turned 5 last Thanksgiving. He didn't replace Bear, but he sure made the grief easier to work through.

I wish you luck in finding another dog. I know she or he will be a help to you in your grief.
