In Memory of Nicki

Nicki, our dog of 13 years, passed away on Saturday. She was a feisty Jack Russell terrier who was an extremely loyal companion. She never left your side wherever you were in the house. I know this is cheesy but we really miss her - the tapping of her nails on the hardwood floor and the rattle of chain as she would come down the hall. Our home will never be the same - all because of a dog nicknamed Poops.

So sorry!
I have lost several dogs and it is really hard! The last one was when Caleb was a baby. I would get up to feed him during the night and I would pause before closing our bedroom door so he could come out with me. Yep, he would get up with me in the night while I nursed Caleb. I don't look forward to when it is Jake's time.

Not cheesy at all....we WILL miss her, too. She became a family member to us as well, and we will always talk about her and continue to love her. Sending you love & prayers for your sadly broken hearts...love mom

Oh I am so sorry to hear that. She was such a part of your family and even though we haven't seen her since you lived in CA...I totally remember her tapping nails on the hardwood! I know how special she was to you and your family. I only had a my casper for a couple of years and I couldn't believe I cried (I never thought I would) - so definitely not cheesy!
