Nicki is gone

[catnapper]

The wonderful Miss Nicki has crossed over the Rainbow Bridge. I am beyond grief right now. At least I was able to say goodbye to her.

She wasn't looking well this morning and vomited several times. I even thought the time was near. Hubby called me at work saying she was laying there with no reaction. She was gone by the time we got her to the emergency vet. At least I got there in time to tell her I love her and will miss her.

I held myself together pretty well until I came home and Cameron asked where Nicki is. I told him she's not here. Then he asked if Nicki went bye bye. That undid me.

Goodbye dear friend. You were much loved and always will be.

I am so sorry to hear of Nicki's passing. She is running happily at the bridge and will be waiting for you. As Gary says, One Fine Day.

(((Hugs)))

Good thing I haven't put make-up on yet....the eyes are leaky.

RIP Sweet Nicki.

Dear Sweet Nicki... I'm so sorry that she's gone to The Bridge, but it sounds as though all was peaceful, which is a comfort. You gave her tons of love and she loved you all back tenfold. She's be watching you from The Bridge, I am sure.

My prayers are with you. Take comfort in your other pets, and knowing that you did everything you could take make her life happy and well loved.

Sweet Nicki, senior Girl
Protector of so many
And loved by all world
Coat of many colors
Heart as big as the sea
You blessed us with your time on Earth
And so loved your family

Send comfort to them in their dreams
And watch over Cameron as he grows
Sweet Nicki, lover of so many
We'll miss you here below.

Thank you everyone.

Its weird not having her here. She was such a part of my daily routine for so long that its going to take a long time to fill the void. I am SO GLAD I didn't yell at her for vomiting this morning. I just cleaned it up and asked her if she was ok. I'd be devastated to realize my last words to her were angry ones because she got sick. I'm so glad I simply cleaned it up and finished getting ready for work. I'm glad she passed with Cameron petting her. She LOVED that little boy. I swear he's the reason she held on as long as she did. He made her young. He made her happy.

Mom called me after to work to see how I was doing. She told me she took a nap after I told her this afternoon and dreamed that Grandmom was standing in heaven with all our past pets waiting for her. I had the same image in my head.

Yeah, silly me went back to work. Mainly because I didn't want to be home where everything reminded me of Nicki. I wanted to get over the shock first. I left work and went to random stores just to not go home. The mall closed at 6:00, as did almost everything else. hubby doesn't want to see a movie, so we came home.

And just yesterday I was looking to buy a new dog bed for Nicki but decided not to because I knew she'd pee on it the first night. I've known it was time for a few weeks now, I just couldn't do it because I felt I'd feel guilty wondering if I put her down too soon. Now she's free and spending time getting to see my Grandmom again. She's romping and frolicking the way she used to. and I'll see her again someday.

Actually, I fully believe she'll come back to me in some other form some day. Perhaps as another dog, maybe a cat, or perhaps a human next time. But I do believe we'll love each other again in this lifetime.

I'm very sorry for your loss but also really glad she is no longer suffering and you were able to say goodbye. That will help you through the loss, to know at least you were able to tell her now much she meant to you. Good bless.
