Crashing World-Loss of Shiloh

[K9karen]

Oh Sue, I can't tell you the impact that Killian and Shiloh had on me all these years. I feel the deep pain, as if they were my own. You gave me such wonderful advise about GSD's when I adopted Logan, and I'm so grateful. Killian must have missed his sister dearly for God to have taken her so quickly. Please know that they are protecting and loving you from the Bridge, together again, healthy and happy and of course in the snow!
I often think that, althought Cody was 100% my dog, that he missed my dad's presence, as while dad was still at home, and I'd go out, I always said "Take care of daddy" and Cody would go to the family room or wherever my dad was, and lay by his side and stare at him. I think my dad needed him because he was so scared. The night before I adopted Logan, I had a vivid dream of dad and Cody standing together and telling me "it's time" (true story), and I knew that I had the permission to share my love again. I'm not overly religious, but I do believe in "signs" and angels.
And you will all meet again. There would be no heaven without our pets waiting for us. You were the best mom in the world to those two. Maybe some people would give up during long illnesses, but you gave them every ounce of love and devotion and care that you could muster. I always admired you with all my heart. I hope and pray that one day, when the time is right, you will open your home and heart again. I wish I could hug you in person, dear friend. You, Killian and Shiloh will always be in my prayers.
Your loving friend, Karen

I read this when you posted but didn't know what to say. Your heart must be broken losing both of them so close together. Your tribute was beautiful. Each loss of a pt furkid is like losing a piece of all of us. Shiloh will be at the bridge playing with Killian and all the others and waiting for the day you can be together again. Out of pain but never out of our hearts.

Oh Sue, my dear friend. From the advent of Pet Talk, years ago, I came to know and love you and respect you, as a dear friend, a devoted rescuer, a loyal and loving furmom. And through that friendship, I also came to love your precious babies, Killian and Shiloh. What fun we had talking about our "kids," their adventures, their up and downs, the good times and bad. I always feared and dreaded that day you would lose your beloved Killian. And when that awful day finally came, my heart was shattered, knowing the incredible pain you were feeling, the immeasureable loss. I could never have imagined that so soon after Killian's passing, your beloved Shiloh would be taken from you too Sometimes people are dealt a grief so great, it is simply incomprehensible. I wish I could say something to ease your pain Sue, but there are no words. And so I choose to believe as you do, that Killian so needed and missed his beloved sister, that he asked God to call her home, to be with him, to run in those fields of snow, wind in their tails, healthy and whole once more. Sue, no pups were ever more loved than your Killilan and Shiloh. How blessed they were to have had you as their Mom. Sue, remember what great buds Cody and Killian and Shiloh were? I like to think of them all now, together at the Bridge, running and playing, so happy. I know they wait for us and until then, feel them all around you, they are there with you, just as my Cody is.
All my love to you Sue.

There must be such a void in your home and such a huge hole in your heart without the sweetness of Shiloh. Killian fought such a battle that in letting go of him there was at least the consolation that the long suffering was over, but to have Shiloh riped from you so quickly and so unexpectedly, it was surely more than anyone should have to encounter.

As the others have said, we came to know and love your dogs, Sue. I don't know that it is possible for me to know and love like I used to. Numbers for one, lack of time to get acquainted for another, but also is the pain of losing our cyber buds as this particular instance so demonstrates.

Sue, I wanted to make sure you saw the other threads that were posted at the time Shiloh passed away. There may have been those whose comments you had not seen. Here is one...

Sue, like the others, I am so grateful and happy to see you back, but it hurts me to know that you are still hurting so much, but I completely understand that void in your life. I'm sitting here in the computer room and I have 3 of the best dogs, ever, lying at my feet, but I miss that 4th one more than I can tell you.

Each one is so special to us, and your precious Shiloh was special and we all loved her so much.

My thoughts and prayers are with you during this hard Christmas season.

Logan
