Mr. Pie picked this picture to have printed and kept in a special spot.
Milo as a pup!
Wednesday morning
around 1am our sweet Milo went off to chase balls in doggie heaven forever. He
was not acting himself all day so we took him to the emergency vet and as we
waited to find out what was wrong he went downhill quick, Milo was diagnosed
with cancer, had tumors throughout his abdomen and was bleeding internally so
we had him put to sleep. Ken is so sad and we have not told Mr. Pie yet, we
will tell him on Thursday after school. We made sure to send him off to heaven
with his favorite toy and one final picture; we will miss him so much! This is what I posted on Facebook and over 60
people posted sweet comments.
Despite my first meeting with Milo and him trying to bite my
face off (not kidding), the six months it took for him to even acknowledge my
presence, the year that went by before I felt safe alone in the Sheriff’s house
with him and the almost three years that it took for him to listen to me he was
an AWESOME dog!
The Sheriff and Milo had an incredible bond, they spent many
hours, learning, training and working together and it is so sad to see the
Sheriff without his partner.
Mr. Pie was Milo’s one true love, he loved that kid and that
kid loved him sooooo much. Every morning
Milo would go in to his room and jump on his bed to wake him up and when Mr.
Pie was not there Milo would sleep on his bed even though he knew he was not
allowed too. Mr. Pie is beyond heart
broken and it is heartbreaking to watch a boy cry so much over his dog. Milo knew how much Mr. Pie loved him as every
time Mr. Pie would leave it was a small production of hugs, kisses and “I Love
You’s” before he could leave the house.
Gracie was the one who taught Milo how to play, that girl has
not a care in the world with a wild streak running through her and from the
first time the two met she wanted to play.
Milo on the other hand was a “working dog” and his idea of play was to
practice bite work or train to receive the reward of his ball being
thrown. For a long time Gracie would try
to get Milo to wrestle with her but Milo just did not know how to wrestle and
then finally one day he let loose and the two of them were nonstop wrestle
mania buds. It is truly amazing that Milo
the bite work loving dog never once went too far with Gracie and that blood was
never drawn between the two of them, they only had one fight and it was over
some food and it was stupid, to this day we still do not know what provoked
it.
Saying goodbye :(
R.I.P.
