Nikki was a 14 and a half year old dog which my parents had 2 years before I was born. She was my soul mate, my best friend. I took her on long walks, and she played with the neighborhood dogs. As the years went by Nikki got older. In the year of 1998 she became sick in October. She had kidney disease. When my mom told me this I was devastated in fear of her passing away. Till Nov 30. at midnight she got really sick and ........... it was just horrible. Until Dec. 1 at 5:30 my mom woke me up and said that she had to take her to the vet to be put down. I was so upset, I came out of my room and stroked her on the head. Till this day now I will never forget my sweet Nikki!!!!!!!!
