Nothing I can write here will do Nakita justice for what she meant to me and my small family. But I owe it to her to write something… Weve had Nakita (Nikki) since she was a little puppy in 2000. They were having puppies for sale in a pet store next to us in Lake Ridge and we were just looking around. But we walked in to look at the cute puppies, Chrissie had brought me up to look at them... And this one had jumped the highest in the litter box and looked at me with those big brown eyes and so she picked me and I picked her right then and there… she was a stubborn lab puppy all the way, jumping, kissing, licking, she was a lover always. She grew with us in many ways. We were new as a small family and she was a little ball of joy every day. She was something special to each of us in her own way. She was our friend and companion during many tough times in life, always eager to dish out love even as a young pup and even later as she got older and slower. I was blessed to be able to move into a lake side house a little over 10 years ago and part of that reason was for Nikki and how much she loved the water. Shes had a wonderful 14 years and I wish she could have had more... Shes been the most stubborn dog at times and the most devoted companion anyone could ever ask for... Her favorite thing to hear in the whole world was, Nikki, want to go for a boat ride?” Her eyes would light up and she would jump up from anything and run to the door, and then bolt down to the boat waiting for me to hurry up.... I dont think I ever trained Nikki... Nikki trained me.... she just came to know what I wanted over time and few commands were ever needed. Recently we found out she had tumors in her bladder and its not treatable and she was starting to suffer and it was only going to get worse. So today we had to say farewell to our family companion and my special boating buddy. I’m going to miss you girl. She was a friend when I was lonely, never wavering, and always by my side. This is a collection of her picture through the years, hard to believe, its gone by so fast. Today was hardest thing I think I’ve ever had to do… but I also know it was the right thing to do for her. Love you Nikki, you were special to us and so many. https://facebook/media/set/?set=a.10152939125277290.1073741853.547652289&type=1&l=0273eefea9
