Nalah is so cute and so fortunate to have a mom like you. R.I.P. Nalah

Thank you. Miss her so much everyday!

This is something I wrote the night after she had passed. It was the hardest I ever had to endure:

My heart is bleeding. I’m feeling so empty. I’m longing for you, Nalah. You were my baby, my baba, my bazzi booboo. My teddy bear. A loyal friend and companion… Nighttime is the hardest because this was our special time together… After waiting for us all day, this is usually the time we make up for lost time. I just miss you so much. It’s crazy how much I’m longing for your presence… I miss cuddling before we doze off, feeling your fur beside me in the middle of the night whether it was at my feet or my back or my side, you waking up and barking at me or Tyler to potty, waking up to your booty on my face and your body all over my pillow. I miss our kiss-kisses and our cuddle sessions and how me and Tyler joked about always wanting to eat you because you were the cutest. Or I’d have your upper half and Daddy would have your bottom half. Lol. Your ever changing hair allowed us to call you different names—one was farm animal (Kris called you this), pig-pig, fox, horsey (buzzcut with your long neck!), or sheep dog (when your body was inches of fur). I miss your incredible energy in the mornings… You were always ready to play and start the day. I always hated leaving you at home, but you never complained. You just waited until we were together again. I miss you greeting me with so much joy and enthusiasm first thing I get in the door. After a long, hard day at work, you were able to turn it around… Just by all your love. I would spoil you with love and attention… Sure you were a butt-butt sometimes, but you were quick to forgive and so was I—and we always made it right. I just want to pet you, graze my hands throughout your hair, hold you in my arms, or get you on your back and kiss you all over your belly… Kiss your face like crazy. I wanna squeeze you tight… I wanna play fetch with you, I wanna make you work for treats (hehe, even though you memorized the routine)… I just want to go back. I admire your strength throughout all the hard times; you were such a trooper and so much braver than me and Tyler put together. This is so hard. I never knew that this could be so difficult. I’ve never lost someone so CLOSE to me before. I really feel like a rug was swept under me by losing you… As much as we miss you, Nalee, I know God is taking good care of you. I know and feel you missing us too because we were never apart. We’ve been together for seven years. It would be stupid to think that you didn’t long for us too. I pray that in heaven, you are happy, healthy, eating the best food ever, and running freely… I also hope you like the other dogs you meet up there (lol). I know you’ll be waiting for us like you always have with your endless loyalty and heart of gold. I THANK YOU FOR ALWAYS BEING THERE FOR US. I love you and one day, we’ll be together again. I love you so much, Ba… You were the best dog, we loved you and cherished you. I hope you know we love you so much. Goodbye for now, see you later…

God give us the strength to get through this difficult time. I am so thankful that you blessed us with Nalah. To have a dog and share such a special bond is an incredible gift. I never knew I could love so deeply… And care for someone so much. Nalah made me so happy and fulfilled. I’m grateful to you, God, for everything. Please take care of her for now.

Sorry for your loss.........

So very, very sorry for the loss of your beautiful lil Nalah. These little babies touch us in a way that only one that has loved and lost can understand the pain we feel, the empty spot in our hearts. Nalah will live forever in your heart and thoughts. Keeping you in my prayers to help keep you strong through this painful time. (((hugs)))

Thank you everyone. I appreciate it. I look forward to the day we'll be together someday.

My healing continues and I still miss Nalah dearly. It has been two months since she passed. I can say that I am now at a better place than I was when I first wrote this post.

I just wanted to say my husband and I added a new family member. We were so close to getting a rescue Yorkie/Silky mix, but she looked so much like Nalah that it was difficult for me emotionally. Instead, I sponsored the rescue's adoption to a good family. :)

We decided to welcome a new puppy and breed into our family. We brought a baby Boston Terrier in our lives... He's been such a great companion full of LOVE and he's been helping my husband and I to heal. I do want to get him a yorkie brother/sister in the future. :)

Here he is, his name is Miko.
