You see Milo AB Off the Radar (aka Mr. Velvet Ears, Dohcephus,
Dohregard, (I guess you'd say, what can make me feel this way) My-Doh (My-Doh,
My-Doh, talkin' bout My-Doh oooooh) became sick Wednesday. Vet visits, iv's,
pain meds, x-rays, staying up with him night after night…. nothing worked. By
today at noon he was dead of renal failure.
I know many people will think this is silly, but you all know how we feel... to us our
dogs are our other children…. our family. We had him eight days shy of 10 years
and 9 months. We got him when he was 8 weeks old and weighed a whopping 800
grams. Right now all I want to do is sit and cry, just like I have since he
died in my arms at 12:25 pm.
Mark and Reed built him a coffin this afternoon. We've all
been digging up his grave spot at the back of the property where he loved to go
(and we hated him to go bc he was hardheaded and wouldn't come back when we'd
yell because there was always one more squirrel to chase or chipmunk to run to
ground). He was the smartest dog I've known… and stubbornness and diva-like in
his demeanor… but he was my baby.
Today was awful. Today my heart broke off a big portion and it is buried in the ground where I will never get it back. Today the Rainbow Bridge has another playmate. Run Fast and Free, My Love.

We today too, mourn the loss of our good furend Milo. We've been heartbroken all day since we received your text and we share in your deep pain. We love them like no other that's for sure!
In the days to come, we will slowly start to smile again when thinking of our wonderful Kentucky furends bcuz that is what Milo would want from us. We will remember him fondly from your stories told from the Pennington Farm.
Sending you a lot of love in hopes that it can warm your heart just a little knowing how very much we care.
Rest now with the angels Milo. You fought the fight well. We will love and miss you always.

We read about your loss on FB. Although we didn't know Milo, we understand the emotions and heartbreak. Sending comforting purrs and prayers.
We are so very sorry. Purrs of sympathy and paws of comfort for you and your family.
Shelle, I'm so sorry to hear about Milo. I'm grateful that we got to actually meet that sweet boy "in the furs" a couple years ago. We lost our Jack Russell, Bailey, just two weeks ago and I honestly think Bailey and Milo are comparing Blogville notes at the Bridge. I know Milo left you with so many wonderful memories that you will keep safe in your heart forever. He will always be with you.
I'm so sorry for your loss. Much love coming your way.
I am so very sorry for your loss. {{{hugs}}}

I am new here and have tears in my eyes, feeling like I lost a friend, I never got the chance to meet. I hope the following can bring you some comfort, from the book I wrote as a tribute to the dog (and brother) I lost at the same time. - Lin
"When I as 18, and lost my lifelong companion, Sally - with me since birth, a small black and white cocker mix... my best and sometimes only friend, my soul-mate... She loved me, I believe more perfectly than I could ever have loved her in my inexperience. When she was 18 she died and I grieved and I cried and I still get tears in my eyes when I think of that sweet little soul who gave me so much. So, no, you never get over it, I do not know anyone who has loved a dog and has said goodbye that gets over it. The pain? As you know, it eases, it becomes sweet memory with time, you still get tears in your eyes, but the smiles and laughter at the remembered fun and antics of your 4-legged Pal returns to you.
My mother is part Iroquois, and although a lifelong Catholic carried with her some of the mythology handed down in her family. She knew my grief was raw and painful and that only time would help heal the wound in my heart. She said to me "Sally walks with you, and with time, she will allow you to feel her there beside you. During the first time of grief, you are blind to her, and that is as it should be, so she will know she is no longer in This World, but now walks in the Spirit World. When you are ready, she will help ease your pain by showing you memories, and helping you laugh again when you are ready to see that she is not lost to you, but always remains a part of you. Your tears will then be tears of joy at your good fortune at having known such a one."
