FAREWELL MILO

 Milo came into rescue as a 6 month old puppy in May of 2012.   He was so cute! 
 He was in N. Virginia and Laura offered to foster him for us.  She had Mika and Luca, both PVPC alumni.   I warned her not to fall in love-- but she did.  How could anyone resist this face.
 Mika was the boss, and Luca was a sweet, laid back soul when Milo joined the family.
 Milo didn't need to be in charge so he was fine with Mika being the "Mom."
 Sir Jenkins, Jenks, joined  the family later.   He and Milo were best buddies.  Oh, Milo's face, teeth, underbite-- just so beautiful.
 Luca, his older brother, passed away last December, so I know he met Milo at the Rainbow Bridge.
 Milo had IMHA/ITP, which is Evans' Syndrome.   His disease progressed so quickly-- three weeks.   He had the very low red blood count and low platelet count and he just had nothing to fight with.   IMHA tends to come between the ages of 3 and 8, and Milo was almost 7.   Just so young. 
Those of us who had the chance to know Milo loved him, but none as much as his mom, Laura.   She is devastated by the loss of this precious boy who was so full of love and fun.   Run free, now sweet boy.  You are loved.   💙
