After having a horrible seizure on Thursday, it was decided that Niki would NEVER have to go through one of those again. Last November, she had her first seizure. I called to make an appointment to have her put to sleep then. But, the vet never called me back.
Niki had four more happy months.
She came to us as a happy nine month old puppy, and left us not looking any different. Just a bit less peppy, totally deaf and almost blind.
Niki. The best dog I ever had (The ONLY dog I ever had).
I will always remember the 'Who, me?' expression as she stands next to a 'spot''

OH....so sorry, Judy!! The day all dog lovers dread!! I hope God will comfort you because the loss of a loyal dog is indeed a grief!! We have lost several in our days and these we have now (ages 14 and almost 13) are the last ones we will have hubby says...just too hard to loose them! I hope you will have the choice as to whether to get another puppy or not!
Blessings...
Thank you, Elizabeth.
I DO feel terribly sad, but also thankful for the long long life that she had with us.
THGGM brought her in today. My prayers were answered, and she did not suffer another seizure at all since the HORRIBLE one on Thursday. I had NO IDEA that seizures could be THAT extremely awful.
We sent her off with messages for other pets who went on before her.
She was our one and only dog. I think I might be borrowing one of Daughter's dogs next week.
Sympathy on the loss of your long time companion Niki.
It's hard to lose our furbabies even when we know it's the right thing to do.
She's playing with Nipper on a farm in the country where all dogs go when they get old.
It isn't easy to let them go.
Aw, that's hard. I'm not looking forward to putting our cat down when the time comes. That will be a hard one.
Thank you all for your kind comments and emails.
I miss her SO much. I keep seeing her - in the pair of white basketball shoes laying on the floor, in the large white bag sitting on the floor where she liked to sleep, in the pile of dirty whites waiting to go in the washer right next to her bed.
But, the happy memories win out, and I will never forget how she could howl 'ILOVEYOUUUUUU!' It was hysterically funny.
So sorry, Judy. Glad you have some great memories to hold on to. Hope she's running happily through the "happy hunting grounds" (as my dad used to tell us whenever we lost a pet).
Oh Judy, I'm so sorry. It is so hard to let go of a loved pet.
I know what you mean about "seeing" her around - when my first dog died, I kept coming into the house and calling for him, just like always. I would see him everywhere.
My thoughts and prayers are with you. I'm glad she's in a better place without seziures now.
