      K I’m not good at doing this sort of thing but here it goes……
      So this little beauty is my babygirl, my shadow, my navigator, my bestfriend, the only one i could only count on, she had saved my life, for real, more then once. We have been thru some crazt thing her ande i and not once did she give up on me or ever complained, she would just stand right by me wagging her tail as she looked at me with her deep dark beautiful eyes. I never left her side as like going on a trip or something, it was alwasy, if she couldnt go then neither was i. She was so smart, so gentle, so warm, i could go on for months about how amazing she was. Ive never had a connection like this with anyone yet alone a dog. But as of last year, Feb7, 2015 at 1117am, she was ripped from my life, she was ran over by the landlords son who also lives on the same property, it was an accident and i fully understand that, they were great to her b4, but i still hate him, but i dont really, it has hit me in ways ive never thought possibly, after 15yrs, 4months 11days of having her in my life i now wake up alone with no reason to even get out of bed, to this day i still break down, i havent been able to ta;lk to her, her urn, only quickly look at her pics b4 losing it, sometimes when im driving i have to pull over cuz it would hit me like a frieght train going at top speed. Its so hard, its even harder to explain how she meant so much to me. At nights when id be sleeping id wake up and i swear id hear her bark to be let in so id get up and go open the door for her only to realize shes not there, or id her the very last yelp that i heard from her that day, this has totally crushed me and still does to this day. Im not a talkitive person, i keep my stuff inside, i have 1 person that i wpould tell everything to but 2 days after i lost my girl, this person got mad at me cuz losing her she said, i had changed and she got mad at me and stopped talking to me, so i just keep it inside, this is the very first time ive ever talked about my girl, what a place to open up, lol, but if anyone understands what im going thru, it’ll be on here, so i thought is try telling my story on here, even tho its not a bice story but i wanted to share, i needed to share, so thank you to every one who has read this, and please, feel free to check out my profile for an photo album that i made of some of her pics, ive noticed ive lost a bunch but at least i have some, so plz feel free to check her out, i was so proud of her and loved showing her off…. DOGS ARE ONE OF GADS MOST GREATEST CREATIONS… Miss you so much, babygirl shilo moore 2000-2015, my savior, my angel, my blessing…

      I am so so sorry, especially about your precious puppy, but also your friend who won’t listen to you. of course you are different. this is one of the worst catastrophes you will ever or have ever lived through. you need your babygirl to get you through it. they do visit, i am convinced. my murphy did when he died of kidney failure if I took a nap I would wake up and feel a warm spot by me where he must have been. nothing no one else was. you probably did hear her bark. writing, if you can’t talk to someone is the biggest help. just write everything as it comes to you. memories, things that made you laugh, your anger at how and why it happened everything. it helps. so does praying. I am sorry for your terrible loss.

      BJ, I’m so sorry to hear about you losing your precious Shiloh. I lost my sweet little Holly (who was 17) in 2011. I wish I could tell you that the pain goes away, but it hasn’t for me. I don’t grieve for her like I did for the first few months, but not a day goes by that I don’t think of her and miss her. And yes, I still wake up crying over her at times. Time does numb the pain a little, but nothing will ever take all the hurt away if you love her like you did. Dogs are God’s perfect little gift to men. They love unconditionally and are always there for you. Since it’s now been a year since you lost your baby girl, maybe you could find some solace in adopting another little dog who doesn’t have a future without you? I think Shiloh would be proud of you for that. You’ll be in my prayers for peace, BJ. Sometimes when we reach the very bottom, we can look up and see that God is still there for us. Your sweet little girl will be waiting for you in Heaven some day. I fully believe that. God Bless You.

      Hi BJ, your story is so sad. You definitely had a very special relationship with Shiloh. And luckily it was one that lasted a nice long time. You also lost her in a very tragic, horrific manner. I think it might have been different if she was sick and was going to die but you had time to talk to her and let her go. Because of these combined actions I think her death has hit you very hard. You are going through the grieving process and it takes everyone a different length of time to get through. There are many people that can literally go out almost immediately after losing a pet and get another one. And there are many people like you that need to go through what you are experiencing. I agree with the other person that said it might help you when you’re ready to help another dog that needs a friend and special buddy to bond with. There are so many in shelters that need someone to rescue them. Please consider helping one of these wonderful dogs and let them become part of your life. It would benefit both of you and might help ease your pain from losing Shiloh. So sorry your special Shiloh had to be taken from you in this way.

      BJ – I am so very sorry for the loss of your precious little baby. One of the best things you can do is to create a scrapbook for her or a remembrance journal and to write about her and always keep good happy memories every single day. And talk to her and never forget her. She us always going to be with you;its just going to be a different. I recently lost my little girl in January and it was really difficult and it is still difficult, but I have a little memorial of her and I talk to her everyday. I found a video on my phone that I look at everyday. Your baby’s death is something you will never forget but you can adjust to your new identity without her & allow her wonderful memories shape who you now have become. Never worry about what some people say who don’t understand the bond between people & their pets. We understand, all of us who responded to you. Know there are people who care & are thinking of you today, tomorrow, always.

      I can’t believe how much your precious baby looks like the girl I have now. I, too, know what you are going through. I lost my first baby nearly 3 years ago. She was 15 years old and truly my soulmate. She was healthy up until the day she passed from a sudden illness. I still think about her every day. For a long time after she was gone I would hear her collar tags rattle like she was moving around. I have never stopped thinking about her. I will miss her until the day we are reunited. I waited two years before I felt I was ready to help a shelter dog. When I went to the shelter my new dog picked me so I knew she was the one I needed to help. She will never replace my first baby, but she has helped me tremendously in my healing process. So I hope you will let another dog into your heart. By doing so you can save a precious life.

      BJ, hang in there, losing a Best Friend is one of the hardest things in life, but just know that there are others in the World that feel like you about their Best Buddies. All we can ever do, is close our eyes, remember the Love that was shared, and know that we will see them again. It takes one day at a time, or even 1 hour at a time. BJ, just know we all share in your pain, and in the Love you had for your friend.

      I am so sorry that you lost your little girl and your best friend. I have four doxies of my own and I think I would lose my mind if I lost season 1 of them. My heart and my tears go out to you and your baby girl. May God watch over you and your baby. God takes care of children and animals. Tracy
