Nikko passed away and I miss her so much. I didn't know her for long, because I'm still apuppy, but she still meant a lot to me in the 5 1/2 months that I did know her. I remember she was a really nice sister and she let me bite her ears and jump on her. She was big and I am small, so she didn't mind too much. She hardly ever growled at me, only if I landed on her tail wrong or maybe if I bit her ears too hard. I guess I kinda have sharp teeth.

Well, the night she passed away, I didn't even know she was sick. I was stuck in me kennel when Mom and Dad got home and all I rememeber is they let me out to go potty and then Mom started to cry really bad, she was screaming for Nikko to please stand up, but she wouldn't. I walked over to them, but both Mom and Dad pushed me away and then told my human sister Jasmine to take me in the room. So that's when me and ChiChi my other K-9 sister went into the room. I whined and whined, I wanted to come out so bad, but they wouldn't let me. All I know is Dad rushed into the bedroom, grabbed a few things and slammed the door...then I heard the front door slam and the car start up. I knew something bad had happened.

A few hours later they showed back up...but Nikko was not home, Mom was crying REALLY bad and then she collapsed on the bed, I tried to jump on the bed to see what was wrong, but I'm too small to jump up there. Their bed is really high up. I looked around for Nikko, I wanted to play with her, but I couldn't find her...I heard Mom and Dad talk...they were crying and Mom said something about "she was too young to die". That's when I ran into my kennel and just laid there...I didn't quite know what the word "die" meant, but I do now...I know that it means she'll never come back..I know that it means something was wrong with her and she didn't feel well. It scares me..to think that you can die and then you're gone forever.

Mom and Dad said something about "Rainbow Bridge" though, and that made Mom smile...Mom cried and cried for days...she wouldn't get out of bed and she tried to cook dinner, but she always collapsed on the kitchen floor.

I miss my Nikko sissy..I wish she were here with us, but I hear that Rainbow Bridge is a really nice place and that Nikko is really happy up there and waiting for all of us down here. So that makes me smile, because at least she's in a good place.
