She suddenly began to have kidney failure, and I had to made the difficult decision to let her go. I was there as she drew her last breath, whispering to her that she was a good dog, that she was my girl, and that I loved her. She died peacefully.
She has been my constant companion since I was 21. She has been at my side as I have dragged her all over the state of florida, and has lived with me in 7 different homes, through many life changes and living arrangements, and through it all she was the most loyal friend anyone could ask for. Whenever I felt completely lost and alone, somehow she knew, and she would place her head on my lap, and look at me with those beautiful chocolate eyes, and reminded me about what was was good in the world.
My home feels strangely empty without her, and I miss her terribly. I don't want to upset myself, but I needed to commemorate her and this change in my life, and I guess all I can say is that nina was a wonderful dog, sweet, and loyal, and that I will always remember her. Nina will always be my girl
