We had to say goodbye to our sweet, sweet Nikki on Saturday, September 23, 2023. Apparently, she had a seizure or stroke early Saturday morning. She was struggling and there wasn't much we could do except let her go.

This sweet gift of a dog came here 5 years ago this month when Jacki Inman's mom needed a safe place to send her. What a gift she was, what a joy. Nikki was the sweetest, happiest little dog. with the cutest little walk. Wiggle, wiggle, strut, strut. She and Taz were best buddies, they loved, loved, loved each other. And when Izzy came here last year, it was Nikki who took her under her wing and helped Izzy overcome a lot of her fears. This gentle dog didn't have a mean bone in her body.

Well, okay, on occasion she was known to nip, but she always warned you first and it was always because you were doing something that displeased her. We always took a muzzle with us when she went to the vet although most of the time, it wasn't needed. She was a delightful character.

We all miss her, Taz and Izzy especially, but interestingly they are hanging with each other. I think offering comfort as best they can to each other. Nikki would be proud.

Our youngest daughter recently lost her beloved dog Layla and wrote: "Between hello and goodbye there was love, so much love" and that says it perfectly. Goodbye sweet girl, we loved you so.
