| Nika will live forever in my heart I lost my beautiful little baby girl, nika, unexpectedly about 12 days ago. She almost out of nowhere became very sick, vomitting yellowish foam and then having bloody diaherria in the middle of the night on a friday. So 7am saturday, brought her in to our vet's office as soon as they opened. We did not get to see our usual doctor, as she was off and my baby needed attention immediately. So her bloodwork came back that it was pancreatitis, not surprising because she had a spell of this 3 years earlier when she was 3 years old. She was hospitalized last time for 3 days without food or water and given IV fluids, dextrose, and antibiotics. She was very weak and had a very hard time, but was able to pull through. We still do not know what caused this to happen either time. This time because the vet's office was closing at 3pm and closed sunday the doctor and i decided to bring her home for saturday evening and she would come in sunday specially to rehospitalize her for the day, send her home again at 3pm sunday, bring her back monday and hopsitalize her for the day and retest bloodwork to see if she could start eating a bland diet again. We decided to do this because she has a history of hypoglycemia and were afraid something could happen and no one would be there to help her. Unfortunately, the doctor never suggested the animal emergency 24 hour clinic literally right up the road from her regular vet office. I would have taken her there to stay on her meds and have 24 hour care and supervision, but i was unaware untill later saturday evening. I curled up in bed with my nika for a nap and woke up to check on her. I found her having a seizure next to the bed. I raced to the cabinet for the kayro syrup, knowing it would go against the doctors orders of no food no water but at this point i had to to try to save her life. I rubbed it into her gums but she continued to seize. I grabbed my cell phone, keys, nika, and the kayro and calling information discovered the animal emergency about 30 minutes away. I drove as fast as i could without wrecking the car, and my fiance continued to give her kayro the whole way. The seizures wouldn't stop after injecting sugar so the vet at the emergency place had to give her valium to stop the seizures. That morning when we picked her up to transfer to other vet's office, the doctor told us she was blind from the seizure. She made it through the night there on fluids and dextrose and we picked her up in the morning to go back to our regular vet's office for the day and then take her back to the ER for the night, but she passed away early sunday morning. It seemed like she made it through the night because she wanted to see us again. She was only 6 1/2 years old. I am completely heartbroken!!! I wake up in the night because she's not there sleeping with me. I look for her all the time. She followed me everywhere and i miss her no matter what i'm doing. She was such a special little baby and has such a special place in my heart. I had her since the day she was born, as i have her mommy, zowi. I would give anything to have her kiss my nose again and sleep in my lap, and in bed with me at night. It's horrible coming home and she isn't here to greet me with her very unique little bark and happy dance. She really touched my life and i am so grateful that i had her in my life. Love never dies, and she will live forever in my heart. Thank goodness for my beautiful zowi and my 2 other furbabies! If i didn't have them i dont know how i would make it!!! Zowi has had a really hard time too because that was her baby too, but at least we still have each other. I have been giving her lots of extra attention. Nika will live forever in my heart and i will always cherish the time i was so lucky to have spent with her! Gone but never forgotten, her tiny pawprints are forever in my heart!

| I am so sorry for your loss of Nika. She will always be in your heart like my never forgotten Keally. I am in tears reading this because Keally had a bad seizure on the last night of her life and the devastating news was she had a brain tumor. My heart goes out to you and prayers to you. Take care of. Rest In Peace Nika and give Keally a hug from her mom and dad. |

| Love does last forever. I have crystal blocks with photos made of each of my little girls. We have that inscribed under the photo etched into the crystal of one of our babies . Your Nika will always remain in your heart, and you will always love her. Nothing can take that love away, not even her passing. I am so sorry for your tragic loss.

| thank you all for the kind words and well wishes! this community is absolutely wonderful! you guys have no idea how much it helps to talk to others who have had similar situations and understand how hard it is. thank you all so very much for the kind words and well wishes. i'm still going to miss my baby girl nika constantly, especially when i wake up without her and when i need a kiss on my nose, but i know that she's still alive in my heart, and in the heart of her beautiful doggie momma zowi. i had a pawprint ornament memorial keepsake made by the doc when she passed, it has a little heart and her name stamped in to it. i'm sure that i will have some other keepsakes made as well as some of you have mentioned. my dad buried her next to his beautiful flower garden and fish pond with my childhood yorkie "bear", and his beloved two yorkies that passed away, "dude" and "buddy" so she is kinda at home there with her friends. i have visited almost every day and i plan to get her a memorial headstone like the others already have. i will always remember so many happy times we had together and i consider myself extremely lucky to have my heart touched by such a wonderful little angel who brought me so much happiness! my beautiful zowi and i have been helping each other get through this very sad time together. i dont know what i would do without her. we decided (not now but) when the time is right, we will bring home a rescued yorkie that really needs love and a fur-ever home. zowi is going to be 10 in january, she is very spunky still and full of life and i cannot tell you how much that makes me happy!!! my dad has nika's aunt / zowi's sister from another litter, "gizmo" who is now 13 years old and nika's favorite playmate "jake" who just turned 6 in august. they all miss her like crazy, you can tell. thanks again everyone! it means so much to have you all out there for support! it means a lot!

| i think of you with love every day my sweet little angel nika We thought of you with love today, but that is nothing new We thought about you yesterday and days before that too Now all we have are memories and a picture in a frame We think of you in silence, we often speak your name Your memory is our keepsake with which we'll never part God has you in his keeping.

| I haven't left at all! Haven’t Left At All I saw you gently weeping as you looked through photographs You paused for just a moment at one that made you laugh. But as you turned more pages the tears began to flow You whispered that you missed me but I want you to know; I softly licked those stinging tears that down your cheeks did fall I want to help you understand I haven’t left at all. On those days that you are overcome with sorrow, pain and grief I rest my head upon your leg to offer some relief. When you take our walking path I’ve seen you turn around Because I know you surely heard my paws upon the ground. At night while you are sleeping I snuggle at your side You stroke my fur as you touch that place where I used to lie. You said it’s just your heart playing tricks upon your mind But rest assured I’m really there, my spirit’s left behind. I know your heart is hurting; it’s like an open sore You think my life has ended and you won’t see me anymore. But for those of us bound tight by love, death is not the curtain call; It’s really the eternal beginning that waits for us all So as you live your life I patiently await For us to be together when you pass through Heaven’s gate.
