in loving memory of nika 4/16/2004 - 8/29/2010

here's a slideshow i made of my angel nika throughout her life....

Nika 4/16/2004 - 8/29/ by Your name here!

i really cannot believe it has been a whole year ago today that my sweet baby girl nika went to the rainbow bridge. not a day goes by that i do not think about her and miss her terribly. i hold the happy memories we shared together close in my heart and in my mind. even though she is no longer physically with me, i strongly feel the presence of the love we share always. she is with me in spirit and nika will always have her own special place in my heart.
i miss holding my sweet little baby girl and getting yorkie kisses on my nose and all over my face. i miss her squeaky little bark that no other doggie i
have ever met has. i miss her cute little happy dance she did when she saw me, or was excited. i miss her cuddling up close to me in bed and sleeping with me all night. i have a picture of her on my nightstand that i look at first thing every morning to say good morning to my angel. my heart is broken
because i miss her so much. i will never forget how she touched my life and how much love she gave to me. we shared an incredible bond, and from the day she was born i knew she was a very special little one. she gave me so much love and joy in the short 6 1/2 years we spent together. it is so painful that she had to have such a short life and be taken from me so suddenly.

the condolences, support, compassion, and understanding that i have received from this wonderful yorkietalk community means sooo much to me and i am truly grateful. thank you all so much for being there. i am deeply sorry for all who have lost their beloved furbabies, my heart really goes out to you. it helps to know my angel is in good company with all of your precious angels until we are together again....

This must be such a tough day for you. Your precious Nika will always be in your heart. We are all so blessed to have had our precious pups in our lives . All of our beautiful babies at Rainbow Bridge are all playing together. Sending a hug to you! Rest in Peace, sweet Nika.

I am so sorry

So sorry about little Niki. Hopefully as time goes by the hurt will begin to heal some. We just love them so much and they love us so unconditionly that it has to be one of the hardest things in the world to lose one. I have lost 2 and facing another one probably shortly and I dread the day I have to go through this again. Hope it helps to know we understand and know what you are going through. RIP little Niki.

I am sorry for your loss of Niki especially at such a young age.

I have thought about you all day, Carrie, and I know how much today triggers so much of your pain and also your overwhelming feelings of love for Nika. I cried when I read your beautiful tribute of your little girl. Nika was such a precious little girl, and I loved the photo of you and your girls and also Zowi and her baby Nika together. I've thought a lot about the pain that we feel because of losing our little ones, and although it is difficult, I'm not sorry that it doesn't completely go away. The feelings of love remain so powerful, and we never forget how much our babies mean to us and the impact that they have had on our lives. The crystal cube that I have of Kiwi's photo has the words inscribed "Love Lasts Forever." I know you know this to be true because of how you feel about Nika. I can feel it in every word you write. I am really glad that I have "met" you here on YorkieTalk, but I'm so sorry that you lost your baby, especially at such a young age. You will always have beautiful memories of Nika and you will forever carry her in your heart.

i am so fortunate that i have met you on this site and i think of you very often too. lisa i am proud to have you as a friend. being there to help me cope has meant so much to me. you are a very special person and i can tell you care so much. your angels were lucky to have had such a wonderful mommy. i have shared stories and pictures of your sweet angels with my boyfriend justin and my dad and other family members. pretty much my whole family are "yorkie people" and they have loved seeing the pictures and hearing the stories. i know ashley was diagnosed with an enlarged heart at 10 years old and with your love and care, she made it another almost 7 years. my grandmother's yorkie, ellie (9 years old) was diagnosed with an enlarged heart almost 2 years ago. ashley's story has given her hope that she could have her baby around a long time still too. my grandmother will be 84 years old in january and her sweet little girl ellie keeps her going and keeps her healthy, which keeps little ellie going and healthy too, i know it.
there have been so many tears from losing nika and i know there always will be. it was truly devastating to see her having that seizure on the last night of her life. when i think about it, it feels like someone is ripping my heart out. i try hard not to let that take over and remember the love and happy times with my baby. those memories are the most powerful in my mind for sure. thank you so much for your heartfelt words. they warm my heart and always will. hugs to you my friend.

i completely agree with everything you have said. my precious zowi (10 years old) was diagnosed with atypical cushing's disease this past june and i hope that she and your baby have many many more healthy happy years with us. every day we get to spend with them is so precious. it really does help to know that you and so many others understand the unbearable pain of losing our special babies, but my heart breaks knowing that others have this pain too. so sorry for your losses.

I am very sorry to hear about Nika. Several years ago my precious poodle also went to the Rainbow Bridge. Now I have a yorkie with blonde hair and love her to death.

My thoughts are with you. I also lost beloved Angus a year the 11th August. I'm still grieving and think of him every day. I did get a new puppy a few months ago and he has kept my mind occupied and I adore him but I know that Angus will always have a very special place in my heart.

aaww i'm sorry for your loss of angus, he will be in your heart forever. congrats on the new puppy i am glad he is helping to ease your pain some. you're right, having another does not take away the love we had for our previous special babies. last october i adopted a 5 month old yorkie pup from a humane society, pixie. she is a wonderful little girl and has made her own special place in my heart and nika will always have hers. pixie has also bonded so much with my princess zowi. thank you for the thoughts.
