I had to have Gilligan put to sleep today because he had developed a cancerous and very large tumor on his bladder that made it extremely difficult for him to use the bathroom. His doctor said he was in pain and it would get much worse very quickly. I couldn't even be there with him. But I'm saying this is a happy day because I got to have over 8 years of good times with the sweetest dog in the world. I'll miss him a lot. He was a really great dog.

I'm sorry to hear about Gilligan...I know how bad I felt that I couldn't be there when my parents had my Lucy put to sleep...I'll be thinking about you a lot these next few days.

You have to know he's chasing cats and having the best time over the Rainbow Bridge.

Shems - I'm so so sorry. Sounds like such a dear friend will be greatly missed. He will be smiling down at you from the skies.
I never met Gilligan, but I'm sure he really was the sweetest dog in history. Glad you had such great times with him.
i'm so sorry jenny! i know it is hard and it will take a minute to get over it. mo and i are sending you a hug thru cyber land and happy vibes.
I am so sorry! You were such a good dog owner to Gilligan. I have now doubt that he lived a richer life because of you. You are loved by the universe because of it.
Gilligan was the most endearing member of our family. His big heart just overflowed with love which was manifest in everything he did... Now his spirit is with us, making sure we are o.k., as he always did. I am confident he is right now still watching over the donkeys, still barking at the garbage collectors, still dreaming of the day when he will catch 'Big Red'the rooster, and the day when he can bite John Thomaston again.
We love you and miss you our Gentle Giant and you will remain in our hearts forever.
Love, Gran Mama'
Jenny, I am so sorry to hear about Gilligan. I know how much he meant to you! I love and miss you much!
I feel for you. I had the experience of sharing love with him. There was no match on who could give the most love. He was so big that he used his weight to push you down so he could smother you with kisses. He did his job on earth better than most humans do. I can't wait to see him again.
Love
John
