Heartfelt appreciation from Corgi Tales – Nikita
Dockers, Cody, Hubbs and I are so very grateful for all the loving support, messages, beautiful sentiments sent through the Corgi Tales site and Facebook pages, cards and flowers sent in memory of our Niki. A comment or two mentioned that the darkest days follow and that has proved to be an accurate statement.
Routines, playing ball, feeding, grooming…all the little things you just take for granted are off and there’s this big void that was once filled with our Niki. That energy that he brought – it’s gone and we’re all feeling lost without him. The Corgi Boys show signs of sadness and even depression. I wonder. Do they know the finality and what became of Nikita, or is it the absence, but not really knowing for them? We are concerned for Dockers that without his best friend’s energy at his side, he will slow down quickly.
Besides the emotions and feelings of true loss are the feelings of my guilt. I care, feed, groom, bathe, nurse and love my boys. I cup their faces in my hands everyday as I look deep into their eyes and kiss their foreheads. How could I not have seen or felt that he was sick? How could I not have seen it in his eyes?
