    Abby, thank you for sharing Chloe with us. It helped heal my heart to see her after I lost my own Boston a few years ago. You have let us in on your journey and so know on the other side of the camera there are people in this with you and sending up prayers to God for your comfort and strength.

    Hi Abby, Thanks for the scenic walk. I love when people show the area where they live. During Covid there was a Facebook page called ‘windows of the world’. People would take a picture from a window in their home. I loved it! Got to see real examples of places around the world. I think I learned more about the world than I ever learned elsewhere. I will never see these places but it’s so interesting. I’ll be thinking of Chloe on Tuesday❤. Take care❤❤❤

    As a dog lover I want to share with you what a vet once told me…”You know your dog better than anyone.” He went on to explain that he can diagnose and tell me if there are problems, but my dog will tell me when it is time to let go. As long as they see happy and are eating, wagging tails, it is probably not time. When you look into their eyes you will know .

      32:07 You are so right, If you try and make them hang on to long and they are wanting to go, it just makes them suffer more and you regret it later on. I had a sweet little pom with heart failure and she started not liking me giving her the medicine and it became an awful struggle for both of us. I think she was trying to tell me to let her go.😢

      @@lovesomeone7285 thank you. I have had many dogs during my nearly 3/4 of a century of life. I have adored them all. Each loss has left its mark, but that is small compared to the joy they left. I will always be grateful to the veterinarian who gave me that advice.

    I loved your original glasses! Those Specs were Your Insignia! I wanted ask what brand they were? I hope you wear them again. You could get other colors too! Why do people uuugggsss…it’s simply not our bizzwax! So I will apologize Abbey. YOU ARE BEAUTIFULLY FINE JUST AS YOU ARE! They fit your look and vibe and face shape! The style is in these days! You do You! Those who wear glasses sometimes have to push them up. They have to be tightened, no biggie. Who cares…again it’s all part of you. I found your channel soon after you had purchased the Château, maybe earlier. I enjoy how laid-back and natural you are. There are many other Vlogs, but your story captivated me! I wish and dream of having another place to escape to, especially if it were in Europe. I love that you are from Seattle🤍 Such a gorgeous place to venture, despite modern chaos. Let’s definitely SPARKLE! Thank You for sharing all the ups and…I cant type the “other” word cuz somehow you are so patient and humble in trying moments! 🪄💖 💫

    Abby, maybe you can ghostwrite Chloe’s book. I think she had quite an interesting life but what did she think of it.
    I use to watch Selmar’s blogs. There’s a series that I think of as his travel series. I especially liked the ones where he travelled to different cities in the Netherlands with his dog in the camper van or riding in a basket on his bike. And would wonder what the dog made of all this. I sometimes wonder the same about Chloe.
