I Can't Believe Nikki's Gone, missing my Nik-Nik Options

[dawnb93]

Dear Kim, I'm sorry I haven't posted to you sooner. I had a bunch of really bad days right before Christmas. Nikki always loved Christmas. Santa Paws always filled her stocking with doggy toys and treats and she loved to stick her nose in there to get her surprises. She also knew how to open her presents...she'd put her paw on the package and tear at the paper with her teeth. She was a very smart girl. Anyhow, you are right. Our babies were lucky that we rescued them from the SPCA and we were even luckier that we found them. I know in Nik's case she would have died at the shelter from the Parvo. Your Sasha was a beautiful girl and it helps to think that she and Nikki might be up at the Bridge playing together, romping through the fields, keeping each other company until we meet again. I wish you well and pray that our pain lessens and only the good memories remain. Take care.

Dawn- I remember you postings about your baby Nik-Nik's passing. I lost Lucy last February and although it has been almost a year, Christmas was hard to get through and I am really feeling sad now as we received Lucy's diagnosis of terminal lymphoma right after New Year's last year. It is still so fresh. Just wanted to let you know I am thinking of you during this time...

Thank you Caroline. I also remember the picture of your gorgeous Lucy. And I remember the kind words you had for me when I needed it the lost. I am doing better now, but every now and then the grief just consumes me and I can't stop crying. Christmas was extremely painful, but I cannot imagine what March 14 will be like for me this year. It does help so much to know that there are people out there - caring, compassionate people - who really do understand and care. Thank you again for your support and kind words. And please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers, also.
