My sweet little dog, Nikko, just passed away

[dickthegrouch]

Pomeranian, 12 years old, I've known him since birth but he's only been in my house for the last 8 years.

He was diagnosed on Saturday with congestive heart failure but came home with lots of medicine and he seemed to be responding to them. He was at my feet and asking for some of my banana (his absolute favorite food) and just keeled over.

I am glad he went quickly, but I am devastated.

2. That is so sad

I know you must be hurting, they are family. And many times far more loving and loyal.

Sorry for your loss.

6. Thank you, all

I'm afraid my partner is not going to take it well.
Even Charlie, Nikko's yorkie lover, is crying.

7. So sorry.

It's hard to lose a furkid. He's at the Rainbow Bridge, though.

8. So sorry you lost your friend.

I lost two buddies almost exactly a year apart. I still think about them all the time.

At least he passed at home doing what he loved...

My little Jack Russell is named Nikko. He's pushing 16 but in good health. I know I'll be a wreck when it's his time.

20. Extremely sorry for your loss! Poor little guy.

Eight years is a long time, and it's usually no more than a matter of weeks before we complete fall in love with our pets.
