About Chloe

It’s been such a stressful week! First my wrists; I had to stop writing for a couple of days, but worse than that, I bought a gorgeous goldendoodle-more golden than poodle- from a breeder and fell in love with her, not realizing that she had parvo. She was very quiet, very sad looking, but the breeder said she was just ‘laid back’. She was throwing up a little in the car ride home, but I just thought it was because of the change from the breeder to here, car sickness, etc. But that night, I knew something worse than that was wrong.

Parvo works fast. I took her to the vet the next morning, and he said that she would have been dead by the next day if I hadn’t brought her in.

She’s there now; I visited her today and took her a little stuffed Winnie the Pooh bear, but she looks so pitiful. Everytime I’d pet her or talk to her, she’d whine, just a little bit. She can’t hold her head up or anything, she’s just lying there with an IV. Poor little thing. She has to make it.

The breeder gave me my money back for her and said that if Chloe doesn’t make it, they’ll give me a new dog. But I don’t want to think about that. Besides, wouldn’t the other dogs have parvo as well? Even if some of the dogs are separated, can’t you carry parvo to them on your shoes and clothes and such?

I just want Chloe to be okay. She’s the sweetest dog; exactly the dog I’ve wanted for a long time. I hate the thought of her being at the clinic without anyone who really cares for her, without anyone taking time to pet her or talk to her. I wish I could bring her home and take care of her.
