SHILOH is generally understood as denoting the Messiah, "the peaceful one," as the word signifies (Gen. 49:10). Another translation is “he who is to be sent.”
Shiloh, a place of rest, a city of Ephraim, "on the north side of Bethel." The portable shrine that Moses built in the wilderness was stationed at Shiloh from the time of the Conquest (Josh. 18:1-10), where it remained during all the period of the judges till the ark of the covenant fell into the hands of the Philistines and the city came under destruction in 1104 B.C.
Psalm 78:60 (NIV) "He abandoned the tabernacle of Shiloh, the tent he had set up among men."
"No spot in Central Palestine could be more secluded than this early sanctuary, nothing more featureless than the landscape around; so featureless, indeed, the landscape and so secluded the spot that from the time of St. Jerome till its re-discovery by Dr. Robinson in 1838 the very site was forgotten and unknown." It is referred to by Jeremiah (7:12, 14; 26:4-9) five hundred years after its destruction.
SHILO is also Israel's First Capital. The official, but currently-defunct, site for Tel Shilo. This communicates the importance the site as a resting place for the tabernacle.

2 zoe gunther canicross team Zoe loves to run and keeps big brother Gunther focused and on task when they team up to take Mommy Tracy for a CANICROSS led run.
3 11.5 mo Zoe Gunther Napping
4 11 mo Shiloh (ZOE) Sunning Shiloh has been in her new home all the way up in Plymouth, Minnesota for over 2 weeks now. Her new family calls her ZOE. Doesn't she look happy not to be laying in a few feet of snow that was probably there a few weeks before she arrived?
5 11 mo Zoe Checking Out the Garden Zoe loves Mommy's garden. She and her big brother Gunther are frolicking through all the time.
6 11 mo Zoe On The Hunt She really looks to be onto something. There is some sort of creature under all that greenery and she has that Rattie look on her face, that says I GOTTA GET IT!!
7 11 mo Zoe Is Just Stunning Such a beautiful girl she is. She is still a baby yet. Can't wait to see the finished product, but we have another half a year or so to be patient.
8 11 mo Zoe Close-Up Face & Ears The entire litter has the most gorgeous deep "orange" eyes. They got that from their Mommy Lani. They got the almond shape from their Daddy Seren. Such an exotic look to their faces.
9 11 mo Zoe Emerging From The Garden Ready for the next adventure!
10 10 mo Beautiful Shiloh Our Beautiful Champion! WOW! Is that a lovely face or what! First show and NEW FAMILY all on the same day. We are starting to make preparations for her homegoing to MOMMY TRACY in MINNESOTA! We are very happy and very excited for her!
11 10.5 mo SHILOH Ready To Take Sierra to School It's Shiloh's travel day, so she was up and at 'em early this morning.
12 10.5 mo SHILOH Give Sierra A Kiss Before We Head Out Shiloh is wearing her harness and strapped into her carseat next to Sierra. We definitely get our money's worth out of our LOOKOUT II carseat. The dogs love having their turn up front.
13 10.5 mo SHILOH & Sierra Happy To Have Company In Backseat Sierra LOVES having a little "sister" or "brother" sitting next to her in the van.
14 10.5 mo SHILOH Gets Sierra To School On Time We got to school early, so we all got out and went inside with Sierra.
15 10.5 mo SHILOH & Sierra Think It's Always A Good Time For A Kiss, kiss, kiss! Of course, once the kids and teachers and parents see Sierra coming in with a puppy, she becomes an INSTANT celebrity!!
16 10.5 mo SHILOH Sitting In The Reception Area At Sierra's Sch Shiloh sat in the reception area and kindly allowed all hands big and small pat that little head and ears. Doesn't she just look thrilled??
17 10.5 mo SHILOH Goes To Work w Mom Before Heading North Since it was about an hour and a half before we needed to head to the airport, Shi went to the office with me. Such a GOOD GIRL!
18 10.5 mo SHILOH Thinks Maybe There Is Time For A Nap She hardly looked at the little dental chewie I gave her to occupy her time there.
19 10.5 mo SHILOH Decides She Can Sleep On The Plane She was going to tell her friends that going to work with Mom was boring. She had to think of something to do.
20 10.5 mo SHILOH Decides Trying Out Mom's Chair Is More Fun This isn't too exciting either!
21 10.5 mo SHILOH Thinks Trying Out Mom's Desk Is A Better Idea This is more like it!
22 10.5 mo SHILOH Believes She Could Help Finish The PowerPoint I watch Mom work on her computer all the time. I can help her out here.
23 Hmmmm What's This Presentation About Anyway If I concentrate .... I THINK I CAN, I THINK I CAN, I THINK I CAN!! Mom tells everybody how smart I am, I will show her!!
24 10.5 mo SHILOH Will Get More Done BEING Mom Mom always has her glasses on top of her head, maybe that will help me THINK!
25 10.5 mo SHILOH Counsels A Few Students Before Mom Ever Knows Since some students showed up for appointments, I took care of them too. It is very important to maintain good eye contact ... Mom always says that when she says WATCH ME!
26 10.5 mo Shiloh's Final Visit w Dr Cruz We did our ritual journey from Naples to Miami, so that Shiloh could have her HOMEGOING physical with the same wonderful guy who examined her as a 3 day-old. Dr Cruz so loves our dogs and, as hoped, gave her a clean bill of health and handed us her health certificate. She boards a plane to Minneapolis in 4 days.
27 10 mo SHILOH First Dog Show Here she is sitting next to Sierra between shows, taking in all the new sights and sounds.
28 10 mo SHILOH & Sierra First Dog Show She tried and tried to make her way up into Sierra's lap and she made it. Their heads were at the same level, so it was tricky to get them both in the viewfinder, but we sort of managed it.
29 10 SHILOH & Sierra First Dog Show 2 Two pretty girls! Okay, so my Mommy took me and my littermate Cairo to our first dog shows this weekend. We both did very well in the show ring, so Mama Steph is very proud of us. We both behaved very nicely, were awesome up on that table and let the judges see our bites. I am now a CHAMPION! YAY!
30 10 mo SHILOH & Sierra First Dog Show 4 Sierra loves smashing the ears down as she pets the dogs ears. They all take whatever Sierra dishes out in stride. They so love each other!
31 10 mo SHILOH Right Front Serious Face A little girl named Taylor, who we met at the show, took Shiloh's lead and walked her as I tried to snap a few pics. Shiloh was very tolerant of this new experience, too!
32 10 mo SHILOH Showing Off Her Physique You can really see how trim and muscular she is in this pic. You can't really imagine how fast she is, because when she is calm she is very calm, but in a full out happy sprint, she is a blurr!
33 10 mo Shiloh Right Side Ears are seeming to be more up than down these days, but not a strong erect, yet! Ten months and ears have still not quite established themselves. We will see what the first birthday brings in the ears department.
34 10 mo SHILOH Smiling By The Lake Big pond and fountain at the park, but we had to stay clean and dry for the show, but I am sure she and Cairo would have enjoyed a cool romp on a hot Florida day!
35 7.75 mo SHILOH As Sweet As She Is Beautiful There is the pretty girl! Ears are clearly TIPPED here, but other moments they are BUTTONED and other times appear STRONGLY ERECT. Still warring after all these months!! I like all the ear carriages.
36 7.75 mo SHILOH Face Close Up
37 7.75 mo SHILOH Sweet & Calm She has always had a bit of a softer disposition than her siblings in a one on one environment. You could never guess it watching her at playtime.
38 7.75 mo SHILOH Lounging Looking Right Such a pretty girl. SHI has a thicker build than the other girls. She and Cairo are both more the Late Bloomers and I can't wait to see how they finish. I imagine they will be just breath-taking adults.
39 7.75 mo SHILOH Sniffing The Air She is a great WATCH DOG, before any of the other pups hear anything, she perks up and charges in the direction of the front yard, where if we wait long enough, we will see what or who has finally come close enough for everyone to join in the chorus.
40 7.75 mo SHILOH Sitting Right Side I am sure she is sitting wondering when her friends are coming outside, so that she can run and chase and leap and wrestle and roll and tug. Photo Shoots aren't nearly as much fun as a couple more Rat Terriers!!
41 7.75 mo SHILOH Doing Her FAVORITE Thing She is so much fun to watch and her favorite playmates are SHEBA & CAIRO, who play like competing TRIPLETS!! The marvelous thing about Ratties is that once they step inside, they turn into placid lap dogs.
42 7.75 mo SHILOH On The MOVE Shiloh is a girl in motion whenever it is playtime outdoors. She will in an instant go from playing tug with her siblings to tearing around and around and around, as if someone shot off the start gun. She will sometime plow into a friend to instigate a chase or leap over their backs to show off and dare them to catch up.
43 7.75 mo SHILOH Still Trying To Get Those Ears Figured Out Wind blown ears!!
44 7.5 mo SHILOH Ears UP! She is beautiful with them up and beautiful with them down. I just wish they would decide!!
45 8.5 mo SHILOH Ear Drooping A Bit They are up and they are down and they are up and they are down.
46 6 5 mo olds Greet Sierra As She Joins Us Outside Nothing makes SIERRA happier than the delighted greeting she gets EVERY TIME she walks out the door and the dogs and pups realize that it is their BEST FRIEND!
47 6 5 mo olds Greet Sierra As She Joins Us Outside 2 I admittedly lose ALL control when Sierra comes outside. I am definitely second fiddle!! I am say OFF Ash, and she is saying GOOD BOY, ASH! I can't win, so I don't even try!! Such a JOY to just be a part of it!!
