Shiloh has bladder cancer

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}

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}

Play hard at the bridge, Shiloh.

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

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.

**lv4dogs** · 11-02-2005, 03:18 PM

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)

Just now seing this thread. So sorry to hear about your sweet Shiloh. I don't think we can ever be "prepared" for something like this. Just know that ending her suffering was an act of deep love for her and for her well-being. I had to have my cat of 17 years put down eight days ago, so I am also grieving the loss of my dearest furfriend. I hope you can find some peace and comfort in her memories in the days ahead. (((((hugs)))))
