Shilo Went To The Bridge:

[halbear]

My sweet dog Shilo passed away last Sunday. It was a very hard day for us. Shilo had cancer in his leg, and we removed the leg because the doctor was hopeful that that would cure the problem. Shilo never did get better, and it got to the point where he was howling out in pain, so we let him go home to heaven. We ran all kinds of testing, and doctors believed that the cancer likely spread to all parts of his body. At the end, he was basically on life support, a pump, IV fluids, etc. I did not want my sweet angel to live that way and to be in the kind of pain he was in. I think that in some cases, euthanasia is the best gift that you can give to your beloved pet. I know and feel in my heart that it was his time, and that he was ready to go home to be with the good Lord. I know now that he is in heaven with my mother and with my beloved ferret Hallie watching down on me and my family. I find comfort in knowing that my sweet Shilo is in no more pain. I miss him so much though. Its just not the same here without him. The house feels so empty...
He was the sweetest little guy. So full of energy and love. He was very protective of me and my family. He is missed very very much.
I know that we will be reunited in heaven again one day. Please light a candle or say a special prayer for my little guy. Thank you all for your compassion and for your support.

A candle is lit for Shilo to guide his paws along the path to his newest and greatest adventure. Nevermore, will there be pain, or fear. Once again, he runs strong, free....four paws pounding along the wooded trails. He will enjoy his days basking in warm sunshine, lying on sweet scented grasses. This way he will wait, wait until the time comes when once again you will be able to play together in the endless fields and walk the long trails together.
Goodbye, sweet Shilo.
ciao

I am very sorry to hear about your recent loss. You will be kept in my thoughts during this difficult period. Know that Shilo is no longer in pain, and is running whole and free again waiting for your reunion.

I'm sorry to hear about your loss of Shilo. I do know how difficult this time is. When you go out tonight, or tomorrow, look up. The brightest star shining in the sky will be Shilo watching over you and your family, just like he always has.
