Sad day


This morning, after a terrible night, we took Nakia to the vet to be put to sleep. She was almost 16 years old and had been the best dog in the world to us for all of her years. Never did I worry about the kids being home alone when Nakia was there. She was a fantastic watchdog. We gave her dignity in death, by not letting her suffer. By the time morning was here, she could no longer stand up or walk, and couldn't even keep water down. Right now, she is out of pain and I choose to believe that she is running and jumping and chasing squirrels and rabbits. I will miss her beyond belief. Already do.

I think good pets are a blessing to us from God.
