peace out
'Milo' 199?-2008
You were a mercy take in the beginning, the shelter couldn't hang on to you much longer. Not a real "looker". Old, gray muzzle, body covered in every possible lump and bump, walking like your dog suit was too tight, breathe that smelled like a garbage dump. A living 'Eyeore'. You were clutzy, and socially inept at the dog park {nibbling other dogs' ears is no way to make friends} but never asked for much. Just a home. A new home and maybe a little love from a new family.You got that family. A family that fell in DEEP, l. o. v. e. with your loveable, kind, patient self. A family of crazy girls who applied make-up as you, calmly, sat in a tutu. Who hugged on you, tugged on you and lavished you with kisses daily, hourly and even up to that final moment.As dogs go, as friends go, as little spirits go, you are one of the best. Thank you for finding us all those many years ago. You changed our lives forever. And you will always be a part of the story of this family.
peace out, old man. You are deeply loved and will never be forgotten.

I have a puppy but I was up half the night with my old girl (almost 15 and having a tough go of it lately).
How great of you to have given him a home and love til the end.
So sorry to hear about your lost. A couple of months ago I went thru the same thing with my husbands first dog. It is never easy, but your words were so beautiful. I'm sure Milo knows how much love he bought into your family's life. My thoughts are with you.
animals are such living examples of the concept of 'benevolence'.
In the end, milo was blind,deaf and diabetic. but still happy. his old body just gave out on him.
RIP, Milo.
I'll be thinking of you and your family, and hopefully Milo is playing with my little Remy in a dog park in heaven somewhere. (Probably nibbling ears.)
So sorry, I really feel your pain.

I'm so sorry for you loss. Me and my little Nico (my chihuahua) will be thinking about you, your family & Milo this weekend.
My heart is broken, what a precious face with white eyebrows... he looked like a wise old man... as I am sure he was! Penelope and Paisley send dog kisses and I sent a great big hug to you and your entire family!
XOXO

There will never be another just like him.
Love,
Mom
you, milo and your family are so lucky (and fated) to have found each other. i think people that can open their hearts to rescues are amongst the best on earth- it's so easy to bond with a happy puppy, but dogs that are older, with an issue or two, are a tougher sell, so bless you for giving this sweet little guy a beautiful life. i know he bought much to your lives as well.
my sincere condolences on your loss.
ps- now i have to go give my lil mona a hug and a belly rub, and ask her to please live forever...

That old tail probably thumped right to the end.
What a good friend.
All good things to you......Alison
We took in an "old lady" from the pound last year. And...they don't ask for much, do they?
Peace to Milo...from Miss Maggie the mutt and I at the shore house.

Hugs to you all.
thank you, again for all of your condolences .
I feel your pain... sometimes everything we see reminds us of them. I had to put down my cat of 16 years back in November on my birthday. It crushed me, but at the same time she gave me 16 wonderful wonderful years. They love us as much as they can and we love them as much as we can! And wouldn't we rather have experienced the love and lost instead of never experiencing it at all?
They are unconditional love. <3
