Hi All

Nothing i can say can ease the pain for you all at this terrible moment, but when our last chow died one of my friends sent us this:

A golden heart stopped beating

2 smiling eyes at rest

God broke our hearts to prove

He only takes the best!!

Love and Hugs to all of you!!!!  Mrs Donna Smith xxxx

To the Menzies &rob

i just wanted to pass on sincere condolences to you, and the menzies family on the sad news of the passing of cleo.

you and i both know the devastation it causes when one of our chowdren had to go over the rainbow prematurely, and at the moment the hurt that the menzies family must be feeling will be almost unbearable.

but i say to them,please take comfort, that although you will never forget cleo,the pain will become more bearable in time,and when you remember her it will cause smiles,not tears.

take this time to grieve for cleo,and take a little comfort in knowing, that she only knew love and kindness in her short life.

with our deepest sympathy to you all.

I have only now been able to come into my email and write this to you after seeing on your website Rob of Cleo's so very sad and tragic passing - what on earth happened to her? at so young and tender an age :-(

I cried - the tears just fell as I looked at her beautiful photo's and read the words to "Like An Angel Passing Through My Room" as I listened to it play. Cleo could have been my Eboneey or my Tahnee - both of them black too and so so much like Cleo, and my heart goes out to her distraught family and to you all. Your Tribute to her is really beautiful ...

In sadness and with great caring

Hi Rob, I had a look at your website yesterday, as I regularly check for updates, and ended up in floods of tears at the very sad story of Cleo.
I just wanted you to pass my sincerest condolences on to the Menzies for their terrible loss, and also to yourself and Denis.
I honestly can't imagine my life without my chows now, and can only imagine the pain that they must be going through right now.

I lost our family dog of 13 years a few years ago, and I honestly felt like I had lost a family member. The grief was immense.

I know that there's nothing that I can say to ease the pain right now, but please let them know that my heart goes out to them at this very awful time, and I am thinking of you all. Very best wishes, Nicki, Mika & Suki (the new addition) xxx

Hi Rob, Mhairi, Scott and Cameron

Just looked at the site. I am so sorry for Cleo's family and for you guys, she was so beautiful and I know you must be completely devastated, I cannot imagine what her obviously lovely family must be going through right now.
I have looked at her gorgeous pictures a few times and it was a hell of a shock.

Send our love and hugs please and let them know that even in her short time with them she couldn't have had a better home, that is all you can ever do for your pet and that many animals live a long life of misery never experiencing the love that little Cleo had.

They did good and should comfort themselves knowing that she adored them and wouldn't have wanted to be anywhere else.

Speak to you soon,

Much Love,

Fiona, Simon, Marcus and Harley Chow. xxxxxxxx

Hi Rob

Terrible terrible news about Cleo. Please pass on my sincere condolences and also to yourself! I remember she was one you were thinking of keeping yourself as she was so lovely.

I am sure she will have had the best 2 years a chow can have and that is as much as anyone can hope for when nasty things like this take our best friends away.

All the very best.

Message from Scott, Mhairi and Cameron

Hi Rob, Denis and the gang,

Thank you for forwarding the messages people are so kind and your right Chows do have the most wonderful effect on everyone they meet.

We have had such a numb few days still waiting on someone telling us this is some terrible nightmare and we will wake up but sadly no our baby girl has truly gone and our house at the moment is just that, a house, Cleo made it a home.

We can't move her bed or toys, we have left her water dish in the kitchen in case she comes during the night for a drink and got a little memory box to put the hair from her brush in and it is in the living room so we don't forget her smell.

Sorry if I am rabbeting but I know you will understand.

Lots of Love

Mhairi, Scott, Cameron & Baby Cleo xxxxxxxxxxxx

Long awaited darkness falls
Casting shadows on the walls
In the twilight hour I am alone
Sitting near the fireplace, dying embers warm my face
In this peaceful solitude
All the outside world subdued
Everything comes back to me again
In the gloom
Like an angel passing through my room

Half awake and half in dreams
Seeing long forgotten scenes
So the present runs into the past
Now and then become entwined, playing games within my mind
Like the embers as they die
Love was one prolonged good-bye
And it all comes back to me tonight
In the gloom
Like an angel passing through my room

I close my eyes
And my twilight images go by
All too soon
Like an angel passing through my room
