Karrie, I can't imagine what this second loss feels like. We are all holding you and Nike in our hearts.

Soon Nike, you will be playing again with your dear Maverick.
 
((((Karrie)))), I'm so sorry and my heart is heavy for you. You have been the best mom to Nike and you have done everything you could possibly do to help her. She will be reunited with your sweet Maverick soon and I hope it will bring you some comfort that they are together again. Lighting a candle. Fly free brave, sweet, wonderful Nike.
 
Oh Karrie. I'm so sorry to read about sweet, sweet Nike. Bless your heart. You are in my thoughts and prayers today. I know Maverick will be there to greet Nike at the Bridge and introduce her to all the furbabies.

Fly free little one and give Maverick a big sloppy wet kiss from Curry and I.

I am so sorry, Karrie. I know you must be heartbroken to lose your dear Nike--it is obvious how much you cared for her and that you did everything in your power to help her be well and happy for as long as possible. My thoughts are with you.
 
(((Karrie))) No one has more compassion or understanding of their animals than you. I hope you are at peace.

The Last Battle

If it should be that I grow frail and weak,
And pain should keep me from my sleep,
Then will you do what must be done,
For this, the last battle, can't be won.

You will be sad I understand,
But don't let grief then stay your hand,
For on this day, more than the rest,
Your love and friendship must stand the test.

We have had so many happy years,
You wouldn't want me to suffer so.
When the time comes, please, let me go.
Take me to where to my needs they'll tend,
Only, stay with me till the end

And hold me firm and speak to me,
Until my eyes no longer see.
I know in time you will agree,
It is a kindness you do to me.

Although my tail its last has waved,
From pain and suffering I have been saved.
Don't grieve that it must be you,
Who has to decide this thing to do;

We've been so close,we two, these years,
Don't let your heart hold any tears.

((Hugs)) to Karrie. You have given Nike the best of care, and today, you gave the greatest gift when you took on the pain so Nike can run free forever.

Nike, safe journey to you. Do not be afraid, you and your Momma will meet again someday.
 
Oh (((Karrie))) I'm so sorry that Nike's time has come. Keeping you close in our hearts. Fly free little one, gentle landings, and play hard once you get there.

Karrie, I'm saddened and sorry for your loss. I hope that in time you will be comforted by memories of the wonderful life you had together. My best wishes to you, and a big hug -- with a lick on your nose from Mookie.
 
((((Karrie))))
I am so sorry for your loss of Nike. I know how much you love him and all you have been through together. I hope in time your good memories will ease his pain.

Fly Free Nike!
 
(((Dearest Karrie)))....my heart also aches for you...to lose your Nike at this time when I know you are also thinking about Maverick. But you are doing the absolute greatest and most selfless thing and showing her
your love the best way you can by letting her go where she will be pain free again and she will see Maverick.

Lighting a candle for your beautiful girl so she finds her way to sweet Maverick. Holding you close in thought and prayer, Karrie.

(((((((((((Thank you)))))))))))) Today was the hardest day of my life. Maverick took his crossing out of my hands but Nike did need me. I have peace that she is free and I had 19 amazing months with her after her congestive heart failure diagnosis. I work from home so I got to spend a lot more time with her. Patrick was with me and he's having a hard time today. I would trade most humans in my life to get her back. I am blessed to have had her love me and be in my life. I know she is with me in spirit.

Thank you for posting this condo Claudia and for being there for me.

Here is a video of Nike - it was taken 9 months after her diagnosis of severe heart disease. Can you tell her heart was bad? She was like this up until the vestibular attack last week. No matter how long she was with me, it never would be long enough. But her time with me up until this past week she seemed well and happy.

You have to watch this with your head tilted to the right.

Thank you from the bottom of my broken heart for the hugs, prayers, vines, snowflakes and loving condolences. It means the world to me. . I will share them with Patrick also. She was a daddy's girl.
 
What a sweet girl! She had such a great life with you. I know you miss her terribly and I am so sorry. (((((Karrie))))) and (((((Patrick)))))

Karrie, I'm so sorry. I know far too well how hard that final decision can be and how different the house feels afterward. These first days are the worst, but hopefully in the not-to-distant future you'll be able to think of her with smiles rather than tears and watch that wonderful video and feel her spirit and spunk once again.

I too have a dog with heart problems -- different than Nike's, but serious and worrisome nonetheless, so I can relate to what you've been through. For Nike to have been so active to the end is a blessing.

You gave her the last great gift and I know she trusted you fully to help her along in her journey. My thoughts are with you...
 
Hi Karrie - I am so sorry to read this. I had so hoped... I know how difficult this day has been for you. I hope the memories will bring you comfort, and some smiles in the future. take care, we all grieve with you.

What an adorable puppy. Nike looks like a little fluffy bear. And it was so cute to hear her answer you too. I'm so sorry that you and Patrick are having to go through this right now. Big hugs for you guys and lots of luv.
 
((((Karrie))))

i'm here always whenever you need to cry, laugh, vent, anything....you know my number

thanks for sharing Nike with us....she had that spark...and not a worry in the world!

this I'll say Karrie......

when we join support groups to get information in order to help our furbabies...we do it out of love, commitment and dedication for them....it is that unconditional love they give us transferred back to them as we love them unconditionally (which we sometimes don't share that with other humans)....they teach us lessons we sometimes fail to see them or understand them...

I believe...and i could be wrong....but it is because we love them so much equally the same we ought to grieve their parting for if we didn't feel anything when they leave us then all that unconditional love they gave us and the time they spent with us would have been in vain

it is ok to feel lost, to feel numb.....for that tells you how much you truly loved your furbabies....it is ok

allow yourself to go thru the emotions...don't deny yourself of any of the pain and sorrow for if you do then you would deny what both your furkids were here to do....they picked you for a reason...they knew you would give them the safe loving home no one else could have....

you have been through so much this year and like others who have lost their furbabies...my prayers are with you as you try to make sense of it all but i hope in time you are able to look back at the many memories of both your furbabies....

Oh Karrie...Ottawa is too far for me and I so wish I could give you a real hug so sending you lots of cyber hugs...

I believe both your furkids have been reunited and will wait for you at the bridge...until then.....
 
Dear Karrie and Patrick,
We are lighting our candle tonight for your girl. It is so hard to let them go, but it is the most loving thing you can do--the ultimate gift of love. Nike was so lucky to have you as her beans. I know she is being met at the bridge by Maverick and all of our GAs and that she will dwell in your hearts until you meet again.
Fly free, sweet Nike. You are much loved.

In deepest sympathy,
Ella and Edward, Rusty and Stu (GA)
 
Karrie, I'm so glad you have that wonderful video of Nike to remember her. I love that she would answer you back when you said "Do you love me?" I have lit a candle for her tonight. I hope you will find some peace knowing how much quality of life you gave her after her initial diagnosis. What a testament to the unconditional love you shared. Prayers and healing thoughts to you and Patrick.
 
I'm so sorry Karrie... I know how difficult it is even when it's the right thing to do.

Run fast and free Nike
 
Ohhhhhhh, Karrie, I am sooooooo very sorry. My heart is broken into a million pieces for you.

((((((((((((((((Karrie)))))))))))))))) ((((((((((((((((Patrick))))))))))))))))

Fly free, beautiful Nike.

Desi
 
Karrie, my heart is breaking along side of yours. I know it has been such a difficult year for you. Keeping you close in my heart as you mourn the loss of your sweet Nike. Big hugs from all of us. ((Karrie))
 
Karrie, sending light and warmth as Nike crosses the bridge, to the company of our loved GA friends. Wishing peace to you as you give this gift of love.
 
Karrie,

I am so sorry that you lost your Nike. That was such a sweet video and I'm sure you will treasure it. I am holding you close to my heart and sending you all the comforting and strength vines I can muster. Nike was lucky to have you and Patrick as her parents. I'm glad you and Patrick were there to help her cross where she was meet by Maverick, Sara and all our other beloved GA's. She was never alone.

My sympathy goes out to you and Patrick.

Fly Free Sweet Nike. rb_icon
