Jan9th2011 my boxer nikki crossed the rainbow bridge. Shes now with her Chihuahua sister.We got nikki at six weeks old and chelsea came along when nikki was six months old.Odd pair but they loved each other.Chelsea crossedover nov30,2010. Nikki was having alot of health issues and all day it seemd as if she were trying to have a heart attack her breathing would get very fast and slow down almost to a stop. After her doing this all day i made the call to my vet and said its time shes getting worse and he met me at his office and put her to rest.No more pain or suffering. She was the best dog she was around before my daughter was. Very protective of the family. I miss her so much. Its gonna take alot of time to get use to her not being around but i know shes not in pain. She weighed 80 pounds beautiful dog and had a wonderful life.Rip mama see ya again someday babygirl. Thanks for all the years u were with us and ur loyality to our family
