To my best friend, my soul dog, my childhood, My amazing beautiful baby Shalio -
Now you're reunited with Chikis again. I find comfort knowing you're together, running free, no more pain, no more tired days. So long, my sweet baby boy. You crossed the rainbow bridge this morning at 7am, peacefully sleeping next to me - exactly where you always felt safest. I will hold onto that forever.
You gave us 16 beautiful, loyal, unconditional years of your life, and I will spend the rest of mine being grateful for you. You weren't just a dog - you were my comfort, my safe place, my constant. You were there through every phase of my life, through tears and laughter, through moments no one else even knew about. You watched me grow up, and a piece of my childhood will always live in you.
You loved without hesitation and stayed by my side in a way only a soul dog can. Every routine, every quiet night, every look you gave me is stitched into my heart forever. Sixteen years will never feel like enough, but what a blessing it was to have you for that long. You were so deeply, endlessly loved, Shilo - more than words could ever
Thank you for choosing me. Thank you for loving me. Thank you for being my heart outside of my body.
