Always a sad day when a furry companion dies. Nice that you have her close under the Morning Glory. Sounds absolutely appropriate.

Take care.

One of my best friends has a Schnauzer, Tux, and I'm absolutely crazy about him. I go to her place in Venice normally once a week and we have a wonderful time walking him through the canals and on the beach.

They were both the most loyal of all dogs and the most entertaining. It was so hard to let them go and I miss them dearly.

Beautiful photos. So sorry Nikki is gone, but she'll show up often in your dreams. Mine have been gone for over 20 years, but they still appear in crazy dreams and schemes and start the next day off with a smile.

I know what you are going through. My baby died 12 months ago and I still cry every single day. Our furbabies are waiting for us (I heard it from 2 people who had near death experiences). I can't wait to be with her again, young and healthy and ready to give me warm, soft kisses. Your baby will too!

It's an especially real tug at the heartstrings here, because she seems like she could have been a cousin to Ozzie, our Cairn.

Again, our condolences.

I've been there more than once and know how it is, we often miss our pets more than people since they are always there. After 15 years, it has to be so hard - but you need to remember all that you shared and how very fortunate that she was to have had you.
