Navar, 05/13/2013
We had talked along time about getting a dog. Should
it be male or female, rescued, shelter animal or from a
breeder. What bred or mix, size and type of fur/coat. We
read books and went to a dog show. We finally made "THE BIG
DECISION". Navar was as big as my shoe, had an umbilical hernia
and one eye with partially blue coloring, when we picked him up
from the breeder. I had no idea the happiness and
companionship that little Lhasa was going to give me. He
loved car rides, exploring new smells and running off
leash. His little legs carried him on so many hikes and
trails through puddles, snow and his favorite ..bogs. He
would look so pleased when he would come bounding out of a
marshy/ bog place covered in black muck from chin to tail.
His eyes sparkling, ears flapping and only his head
clean. Navar liked his adventures in our kayak. He'd stand
with his paws on the bow of the boat trying to point in the
right direction. After moving to Washington state he found he
didn't like to drink the "new" water/ocean. He did enjoy
the last vacation we all went on to Victoria island in Canada.
But over the past year arthritis and diabetes took their toll on
him. He couldn't jump up on to the bed to sleep with
me. Walking was more troublesome but he always wanted a
treat. On Mother's Day 2013 I got a call at work that my furry
friend was very sick. We rushed him to the hospital. Sadly
and painfully left him for the night to see if any treatment
would help.
They next day we went to see him and found him unable to get
comfortable and not wanting any contact from us. We then
had to make, what I now KNOW, was one of the hardest decisions,
to let him go. Today Monday 5/26/2013, Memorial Day, I brought
my little friend's ashes home. My heart will NEVER be the
same.....

My beautiful little man,,,
No one could have asked for a better companion,, you were loved by
everyone! You gave the best hugs and seem to know who and when
someone needed one!!
I miss the way you would tunnel your way into the covers early in
the morning 15 minutes before I had to get up, so you could
help me start my day with cuddle time!!
You taught me so much :
1. don't stop hugging until the other person decides they got as
much as they needed.
2. relax outside, belly up and absorb the wonderful warmth
of being alive
3. welcome every visitor to the door with tail wagging, even
if you don't necessarily feel like seeing anyone.
4. slow down,,smell the scents in the air, and be thankful
5. a daily walk is always a new adventure,,take your time
and discover everything that is crawling, growing, tweeting, and
talking to you.
6. let bad experiences go and just have a good time right
this moment basking in the love of companionship.
thank you Nigel for being my constant companion,,, I miss you
terribly but know we will be together again sometime,,, until then
you always will remain in my heart....
Nikki, November 16, 1996 - May 21,

Nikki was my best friend! She'd been with me through my
parent's divorce, my Mom going through cancer and Granny going
through her health problems.Every night Nikki would climb up into
my lap and flip over so I could run her tummy. Sometimes
she'd snore so loudly I wouldn't even hear the TV.
LOL!!! She was the sweetest little girl you'd ever want to
meet. In April 2008 she'd been diagnosed with diabetes which
is the last thing you ever want to hear. Once I got into the
swing of things it wasn't that bad and she was responding well to
the insulin. When the weather started warming up I knew we'd
be adjusting her dosage so started to work on that. May 15,
2009 my husband and I a couple of friends decided to take off on
our Harleys for the day. We were having such a wonderful
ride. Stopped to have lunch and had been back on the road
about 20 minutes when a young kid in a car turned left in front of
us. Gerald and Margee were killed and Mike and I was
severely injured. I called my son to have him take Nikki to
my vet so she could get her insulin but I guess with the stress of
not knowing where I was was just too much for her. I'm sure
she developed ketoacidosis which led to her death. I was
signing the papers to be released when our vet called and said
Nikki had passed away. While I was in the hospital I had a
horrible feeling she wasn't going to be here when I came home and
she wasn't. I'd always promised my baby girl I'd be there
with her when her time came but I couldn't keep that promise and
I'm still trying to deal with that guilt. I know there will
be a day when I'll see my little girl again and we'll never, ever
be apart then!!!!

Our dear Nikki, you were with us the
shortest of all our fur babies. We adopted you when you were 5 1/2
years old. You just turned 11 this past May.
You brought us the little laughing koala
bear when you came. We had never seen a toy like that. It became
not only our favorite, but Shane's as well.
You were a talker, telling the other dogs
you saw out of the window what you thought, without barking.
You loved to look out of the front
window. as a matter of fact, out of any window. You learned how to
roll the windows down in the truck as we were leaving your foster
mom's to come with us to your forever home. What a smart girl!
Daddy figured you out quick.
Shane helped you to learn to love the
water, not just stay on the beach.
Shane picked you out to be his forever
buddy. He picked very well. You both played like you knew each
other forever. He would tease you to chase him, and you'd tease
him to play.
You were so prim and proper, even when
giving your "footie" for a treat. You had everyone saying what a
sweet girl you are.
You knew how to trot and have your fur
flowing in the wind. You were such a showgirl.
You loved to chase butterflies, not to
catch them, but to have fun. Watching you watch the butterflies
was beautiful. You also loved to chase the squirrels out of your
yard as well.
Shane misses you a lot. So does your
Daddy and Mommy. You were with us for too short a time. We Love
You!
