Chloe a Lhasa-Poo and Carol's companion for 16 years died Friday, July 10th, 2026. She was an intelligent, determined, alert and beautiful little dog.. As legend has it Lhasas have been used for decades as mobile burglar alarms roaming in small packs vast Tibetian monestaries.
Sixteen years ago Chloe, age 12 weeks was enrolled by Carol in a course for puppies at the Humane Society of Sarasota County, The Certificate she received with her picture is framed on the wall in front of my desk. It reads "This certifies that CHLOE has completed the HSSC Pawsitively Positive Dog Obedience Training Class." OK - it's not a Pulitizer Prize but the puppies had a great time and we were very proud!
Chloe had a comfortable life living summers in Fly Creek, NY (nearby Cooperstown is part of Greater Fly Creek) and wintering in Sarasota FL She and Carol walked every day and covered through the years many miles, meeting and greeting people and dogs. Chloe's grooming was always excellent. Her haircuts were three times more expensive than John's, a close friend, but happily much less than Carol's. As she aged Chloe required a special chicken/rice diet received in packages requiring refigeration. A picture of the inside of our freezer stuffed with Chloe's food is available for purchase.
Chloe's passing has left a dark lonely void in our lives. Run free little dog Look for Max, Dusty and George. Perhaps in the future we . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
