Tikka was my baby.

She was always perky, young-looking, and full of energy, up until she fell seriously ill.

She had a quirky brown patch on her one ear, and a huge brown patch on her lower back.

She and I would play "blanket monster" on days where I was more than depressed, and she'd curl up and warm my feet on cold winter nights.

She was always happy, loyal, and full of life. 

Her silly puppy yaps will never fail to bring a smile to my face.
