Sue, I know the pain is still fresh and the wound you have in your heart seems as if it will never heal. Each day is different, you handle the loss in a new way, sometimes better, sometimes not. Both my RB dogs were situations where their departure was a long and drawn out process, as I know your Killian's was too. I've often thought that if I had to lose another, wouldn't it be better to have it over quickly. After our conversation about Shiloh, I've come to realize that is not the case.

Goodbye, sweet Shiloh. You were here at the very beginning and wormed your way into our hearts, so regal and loyal. You were a credit to your breed and your mom's pride and joy. We will miss you.
