Sue, you and Shiloh are in my prayers. :(

Does anyone have Sue's Phone Number?

Someone should call and offer a phone {{{HUG}}}.

Much love,
Logan

I feel as Pam does and I check in daily to see if there is any word on
Shiloh. I am thinking and praying for you both.

Me too. :( We're here in support, Sue.

Logan

Sue, I hope your silence means you're just spending your time with Shiloh. Please check in with us when you can, we're all here and we'll always be here for you and Shiloh. {HUGS}

I'm thinking of you guys...I hope you and Shiloh are together, and, everything is stable...hopefully what they say about "no news" is right. :(

Thoughts and prayers to you!!!!

We're still thinking of you. Continued prayers to you sweetie.

Today I have the sad mission of reporting that Sue's Shiloh has passed to the Rainbow Bridge. All efforts to ease her suffering were in vain and this Monday Sue had to do what we have dreaded and that is to help her pass to the Rainbow Bridge where there would be no more pain or suffering and she would once again see her beloved brother, Killian.

Sue's computer has crashed and she has not been able to come here to receive the comfort and support of all who have posted. She indicated that she will try when she can to access Pet Talk from the library.

As expected, Sue is devastated and in tears. Her hope for a few months more with Shiloh was not to be. The pain is fresh and her heart is broken in a million pieces. Please keep our dear friend in your prayers so she can make it through these dark days.

Those of us who have known the strong and beautiful Shiloh for these past years will each mourn her passing. She was a heart dog in every sense of the word.

Good-bye Shiloh. You were *one of our own*.

As sad and heartbreaking as it is to hear, thank you Rachel for posting this update.

Poor Sue. So unfair. :( :( :(

My thoughts are with her. I can only take comfort in knowing that Killian and Shiloh are playing together once again, pain free.

RIP sweet Shiloh... play hard with your brother Killian.
You two loved each other too much to be apart for too long.
Bless you both for bringing so much love to Sue and to us all here at PT. You will forever be in all of our hearts.
Sue.... I am so sorry for you loss, we all are here for you.
{hugs}

Sue,
All my love, hugs and prayers come to you across the miles during this difficult time.

As always, we are here for you.

Play hard at the bridge, Shiloh.

Rachel thank you for posting for Sue. I think we all imagined the worse because of the silence but had no idea about her computer problems. I can well relate to the feelings she is having right now and my heart and prayers go out to her. Should you have a chance to express my concern and love please tell her she remains in my prayers. I am imagining that Killian was among the first to welcome her to the Rainbow Bridge. They are together again but the pain remains for Sue. Please pass on these (((hugs))) from me. :(

I am so sorry to hear this. {{{Hugs}}} to you Sue. Shiloh run painfree and play again with Killian. :(

As Pam said, I was imagining the worst due to the silence. This news is absolutely heartwrenching, but thank you so much Rachel for letting us know. I only wish Sue had easier access so that she might find some comfort in the sharing of her grief. Tears flowing... it's just impossible to find the "right" words.

Dear Lord, please be with Sue, watch over her. May the love we all feel for her encircle her heart and help hold her steady during this unimaginably tragic time. :(. Life can be so very heartbreaking.. so very hard. :(

I feel devastated for you Sue. Please know you have two dear angels watching over you from above. They love you, always will. You will be together again one day.

Love, Jess

Oh sweetie, I am in tears right now just like you probably are. I am so very sorry for the loss of sweet Shiloh girl. This is so sad. I honestly wish I could do something, anything to help ease your pain in this time of hardship. All I can do is pray for you my dear.
RIP Shiloh. May you be happy, healthy & whole once again... running up there at the bridge with your dear brother Killian. Watch over your mommy please, she needs it.

With sincere sympothy,
love,
Sue (thats my name too)

I had been avoiding this thread because I was so afraid of the worst. :(
Sometimes life is so hard to deal with.

Sweet Shiloh, you left us way to soon sweetheart!!!
Be at peace now and play with wonderful Killian. You are both missed so very much. :(

I have also been avoiding this thread. I am so sorry for your loss, but know that you now have one more angel to watch over you. I hope that Shiloh has found her brother and that they are playing again.

My thoughts are with you.

I am typing through tears here:( I had hoped that Sue's silence meant she was taking all this time to be with her darling Shiloh, I had no idea about her computer crashing (what a terrible time to go out on her).
I'm so saddened and shocked to see they didn't have a few more months together but you never know when that time will come when you have to say goodbye.
Please let Sue know how much we care and are grieving with her.
{{{HUGS}}}Anna

I'm so very sorry for your loss! :( You will be in my thoughts. (((Hugs)))

I'm so sorry. :( Shiloh and Killian are together now at the Rainbow Bridge. Sue, I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. {hugs}

Oh no. I kept checking in every day hoping for some good news. I wasn't expecting this so soon.

Sue, I am very sorry. :( :(

I'm at a loss for words. I'm so very sorry, Sue. {{{HUGS}}}

Rest In Peace, Shiloh.

My deepest condolences for your tragic loss...I'm just so very sorry.

I'm so sorry for your loss, Sue. It's just too soon after Killian. Course I'm sure anytime would have been too soon, to lose your special girl.

Rest in Peace, Shiloh. You and Killian look over your Mom. I always get some comfort knowing Maddie's up there watching out for me.

Les...

I haven't been keeping up on this thread too much, I found it so upsetting, now I am struggling for words.

My computer crashed, so I was unable to post during this extremely difficult time.
Thank you all for your wonderful prayers and thoughts. I still cannot bring myself to read them all. I will soon. I am still having a problem dealing with Shiloh's death.

Let me continue where I left off. We were to bring Shiloh in on Saturday for a final evaluation of her bladder. We were told at the Thursday vet visit to be ready to send her to RB on Saturday. At this point, she still could not eat anything and she was throwing up any water that she drank. The pills were useless because they came right back up. I continued to sleep all those final nights next to Shiloh on the floor in whatever room she wanted to be in. She was up most of the nights, she could not get comfortable. She was still able to go out in the yard, but she could not walk far distances. I began to take her on hour long car rides throughout the area. She loved that. Oh, how I loved this dog!! (crying again now....sorry). She still could not eat anything, nor did she want to eat anything...and I tried EVERYTHING.
Saturday came. The vet checked her and her bladder grew a bit more. Her (2nd vet) recommendation was euthanasia also. However...there was one more thing to try...an injection to try and help her eat to hold down her pills. So we grabbed at straws and went with the shot. We would have her a little while longer. We continued with the car rides, constant attention, sleeping next to her, petting her. To our great disappointment, the shot did nothing and the inevitable was going to have to happen on Monday. We tried to prepare ourselves for it again. This was the hardest thing in the world to do..again. Monday came, her appointment was for 10:00. The end was near and it was SOOOO HARD. We brought her in. The vet checked her and said there was no change. She also had very large lymph glands in her neck and on her leg. Her legs were swelling also. The vet said that he thought that she also had lymphoma, too (another death sentence).
We held her close (oh so close), I called her name as the needle went in and she looked up at me with those great big loving eyes...then she closed them and was gone. It was so quick....her heart stopped....the vet said that she
was ready to die, she went so fast.
I can't describe how I feel. I hurt so badly. This is the first time that I do not want another dog. I want SHILOH back and only her. I was NOT ready to lose her, she was too young (7 years old). To this day, I still can't even begin to get over her passing.

Thanks for listening. You are all angels!! Thanks again and always for your wonderful support and encouragement. You guys are the BEST.

Sue

oh i'm so so sorry :( i cant even begin to imagine your loss
RIP Shiloh :(

Kia is seven..... :( :(

Oh Sue, I'm so very very sorry. My heart is breaking all over again. *HUGS*
