In January I lost Molly and in February, Sam. They were my last living family members and it nearly took me down for the count. Tika was obviously loved and cherished, and she returned that love. Thank you for sharing her with us.

This is a beautiful tribute to Tika. We had to have our precious cat put down in August of last year and the wound is still fresh. It's hard losing a pet. They are such a part of your life! They are constant companions. May you and your family find peace in knowing that she had a beautiful life with you and that she is resting now.<br /><br />Happy to "meet" you,<br />JenJenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06683486631901017529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7063946489075478675.post-54579594316730484772017-01-28T15:06:52.601-05:002017-01-28T15:06:52.601-05:00I am so very sorry Jo, I can feel your pain, it is...I am so very sorry Jo, I can feel your pain, it is such a hard decision to make.

Making that final decision is excruciating, we debated for so long, looking at every movement as a 'sign' to wait. In the end, we had to do what was best for her, it just wasn't fair. She left our family as she came in, loved from the very first minute to the last...and beyond. Tika has been a continuous thread in the Collage of Life story...I miss the updates. I am sure we will hear the hear the pitter patter of puppy paws again one day, when the time is right.

I owned a Springer Spaniel for 16 years and I miss him still everyday along with an Eskie whom I rescued and who passed away two years later. There is a quote which sums it all up: “Once you have had a wonderful dog, a life without one, is a life diminished.” Dean Koontz. My heartfelt sympathies for you and your family.

He went downhill quickly right before Xmas but then bounced back fully and the diagnosis ended up being a very bad case of kennel cough. Tikka is so beautiful and I am so pleased to see that she had time roaming the beautiful countryside of our beloved New Hampshire.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01287491309379401724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7063946489075478675.post-78970417093003996222017-01-23T13:17:55.275-05:002017-01-23T13:17:55.275-05:00Greetings Jeanne, I'm wiping away some tears o...Greetings Jeanne, I'm wiping away some tears over here and sending love and sympathy.
