Milo loved by The Armistead Family
Passed May 9th, 2019
Dear Milo, I miss you so much already.
You came into this world 8 years ago and we rescued you before your eyes even opened. You were only a couple weeks old since the day you came into our life and we had to bottle feed you, it made our family complete. There is no doubt you saved my life many times through all my school years, all the difficult times I had, all the times that i would’ve commit suicide because it was that hard, but I knew you were waiting for me to get home. You truly saved my life more times than I could ever count. You were absolutely my guardian angel. You came into my life the year that I started to struggle in school, and you stayed until my last year of school when I finally had my shit together. Since last year when I’ve finally been happy at school, your whole demeanour changed, it was like you knew you had done your job and you were waiting to go now. I couldn’t have asked for a better guardian angel. Thank you so much and I can’t wait to meet you again one day.
I still can’t believe how quickly my whole world just changed.
You went in to get checked because of your sudden swollen stomach, and came out being told you’ve only got 24 hours left to live. You had a really fast growing aggressive cancer that had already attacked every single organ in your body. Your spleen was split and your whole stomach was full of blood. You became anaemic. And there was nothing we could do for it .
There is no feeling worse than that in the whole world. I wanted to look after you as a golden oldie for all the times you saved my life. I wanted to spoil you rotten. I wanted to make sure you knew you were the most loved dog in the whole planet. But you had to go so fast
I never left your side, even as you drew your last breath, even for the next half hour as your spirit left your body, I still held onto you. I didn’t want to leave.
But I am just so so happy for all the amazing years you have given me, I’ll never forget you, and there will ever be another dog anywhere near as good as you.
I hope you’ve already found your doggy foster mum Mischa.
Goodbye Milo, you’ll always be in everyone’s hearts.
