Thank you for being such a special girl to me/us.
I'll never forget the day that I saw you in the dogs home, sitting there one of the cutest dogs I'd ever seen. As all other dogs were barking and jumping up the cage you just sat there very quiet and I just knew you were the one for me to bring and provide a loving and caring home.
I'll never forget the time that whilst in the dogs home you nibbled your mum to be finger (exactly like our other rescue dog did).
We noticed that you had come into season and thankfully whilst still in the dogs home we had you neutered where a tumour was found on your overies and the vet put in his notes (very lucky dog who will go on to live a long life).
Special, special girl. R.I.P and I await the day when we can have hugs and kisses again.
Sorry, for going off a little but you're a great bunch of lads n lasses.
You'll always be my special little girl
Fly high princess Nikka.
XOXOXOXOXOXOXO.

Very sad news and I know the feeling Les but it sounds like you gave your dog the best life you could and as an owner that's all you can do so be proud

Thank you Mate, much appreciated.
We did all we could and she repaid that back tenfold.
Just cant believe it as every morning she would love her walk (despite the damage getting lungworm did) as we walked around wherever she took me to for at least an hour which was the same yesterday too.
Last evening she had what the vet said a stroke as she was sick, off balance, slobbering and it left her head leaning to the left. Absolutely devastating to have seen her like that. The vet said they could try her on meds and steroids but there was no guarantee she'd fully improve and the chances are that she'd be left with her head leaning. It was a hard yet right decision to make to let her pass but took a photo n video of our special little girl before administering the drug to put her to rest.
The pain (as you so sadly know) hurts for a long time and when that pain subsides a little then that's when we are taking comfort from the fact we gave them both a caring and loving home.
RIP Nikka my/our special little girl with lots of kisses n hugs from us all.
Xxxxxxxx

When the wife gave me the go ahead to go and give her a loving home we went to the dogs home hurriedly in the hope that no one had decided to have her.
My daughter hurried down the aisle and took the card from off the cage door, just as a lady approached and asked us if we were having her because she was going to have her as she's beautiful and would breed from her.
I guess you could say that within the nick of time my daughter saved her life as no doubt the lady who wanted her wouldn't have had her neutered.
RIP Nikka.

Similar to you, I had ours put to sleep while he was in my arms, best pal for 8 years before his illness
Didn't want another one, my missus and the daughter got another after around 3 months, life's good again now, pup that's as mad as a box of frogs and regular walks. Still miss the old dog but when I think of him it's with a smile on my face, gone but will never, ever, be forgotten

That's what we did had Nikka a few days after losing Taz and was the best thing we could have done. We had Nikka after I had taken her belongings to the city dogs home as I needs to pacify myself that there wasn't another dog like her. Anyhow, I turn right after coming out of the office and then my heart melted the moment I saw Nikka and was a day later but managed convince the wife (just in the nick of time as it turned out) that we should get her and when the pain eases I'll feel a whole lot better when looking back on the memories that we all made together.
I wish your pup a great life full of life and wellbeing. They are fantastic and credit to your wife and daughter as it does help immensely after losing such a loving and thoughtful companion.
All the best mate to you and your family and thanks for the chat and listening as it helps enormously.
Off to bed but I won't be able to sleep.
Too right, gone but will never ever be forgotten.

ive got two labs, one of 5 and one of 12, the 12 yr old, we've just discovered she has a cancerous tumour on her left rear leg. she goes in next week to have it removed, but at 10cm round and looks like half a tennis ball, im preparing for the worst if im honest

Cheers mate. Sad indeed mate one of the most difficult things to hit you.
Good luck to your dog mate and pray that all goes well.
Thoughts with you too mate.
Keep us informed mate and fingers crossed.
I'd go the dogs home now but the Mrs won't have another because of the heartache , upkeep (getting no younger) or healthier for that matter but i understand.
Just seems so quiet and spacious in the house without a mans best friend around the place.

My thoughts are with you and your family Tazi..
There's a reason why the French call dogs ,beasts of sadness,or similar saying ...
Anyway ,we did our good deed for the dog god a coupla weeks ago,daughter and workmate took on a very old collie,approx 15 yrs old ,let down badly by its deceased family's owner..very uncertain future for sure, no doubt about it...
Long story short ,we set up a fund to sort this Collies teeth out,and rehome him,now ,teeth are done,..and Zack the Collie ,who is awesome, has a new lifetime mate,Terry ,my daughters bf,they are inseparable..
Lovely dog ,...
