Bye Bye Khloee - Good Dog

Khloee and Land 1998

The Khloster, Kloking Device, KoKo, Kleo, KloMonster, Lola, Girly Girl has now left us. We are so sad. Land was four when we she came to our family... now he is 18. He and Chase had a childhood buddy. She was crazy and kooky. A lab who hated water, who was alpha-female and tore into other dogs, usually winning the smackdown. She has flown out of the back of a pickup and been run over by one. She always would sit in front of every house she lived in and bark at trucks, chase them down. What a good guard dog... our house was never hit by a truck. She stole stuff from the neighbors yards. She was put under citizen's arrest and went to court. But, the girl was great to kids, and she was loyal and cute and good. Well Done Khloee Dog.

So this Thanksgiving we are thankful for Khloee!

So sorry you have lost your good buddy. Just know that she is OK now and not in any pain. She is running around, chasing trucks and hanging with Grandma. She was a cool, cool dog - even though she couldn't swim. Love you Khloee

When I called last night to check on you and how the weather was up there, I knew something was wrong by the sound of Darren's voice. We had a conversation before he told me the sad news about Khloee. Then I knew why I felt a sadness about his voice. These dogs my children have take a hold of their hearts and it's hard to let them pass on like this. I think that's special. I'm glad you're so caring. I shed tears now as I write this. I felt so bad last night for you and Darren and Chase and Land. I love you all.

I'm so sorry that Khloee is gone. She was a good dog. You have lots of great memories of her.

I'm sorry Khloee is gone. It's hard to lose a pet that has been a part of the family for so long. Now you'll have to get a Goldendoodle like Jens! :)

So sad to hear about Khloee. We really loved that dog. Hailey will be sad that she didn't get to see her one last time. She named her stuffed dog after your Khloee. Goodbye Khloee.

God bless you as you remember your wonderful dog. She sounds like a true friend to the family. I'm thankful for her life, and the love she gave to all of you.

Just catching up on long ago postings and read about Khloee. We never had the chance to meet her, but felt we knew her through your colorful words of her crazy antics. So very sorry...pets are an invaluable part of our lives...never asking for anything but somehow demanding unconditional love...they teach us much. Perhaps she is with "Koosie-Puppy-Girl". Missing you all...with love, The Gores
