Hello...My name is Niko Hensley



My nickname is: Niki Doodle, Doodle Bug, Noodle Doodle

(My crazy mom has a lot of weird nicknames for me!)

My breed is: Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, tri-colored

My age is: 11-1/2 years

My favorite human food is: Chicken & Cheese but I also like eggs

My biggest fear: Being left alone

My favorite thing to do: Besides nap during the day, I like to play the game where my mama tells me to come here and I turn around and run the other direction.

Where do I sleep: I have several comfy sleeping spots around the house--quilt on the living room floor, pet bed (which ironically I don't sleep in because the cat likes to sleep there), but I like to sleep in some of mom's clothes on the floor or on the nice cool tile floor.

Do I love car rides? Love them, but unfortunately, I also get anxious too much so I can't do them as much as before.

What do I hate the most: That gray cat--I think her name is Bella but mom calls her Fatty--she is always swinging at me. She is not friendly. Why did mom bring her home???

Do I snore? If I'm in a really deep sleep.

Personal Notes

My Dear Niko, My heart is still shattered. There is pain I had never imagined and could never imagine ever feeling again. You were my other child and I still can't believe you are gone. I'm so sorry I couldn't save you. I tried to be a good pet mom. I think I did everything right that should've afforded you a long, healthy life and yet I couldn't save you from the dreadful effects of CHF. CHF robbed us of more time together. We should've had more than 11-1/2 years together. I miss you, my sweet boy, every day. I miss seeing your sweet face and holding you at night. You will live forever in my heart and you will never be forgotten. The one thing that gives me just a little bit of peace and hope is that one day I will see you again. When my time is done, we will be reunited at the Rainbow Bridge and I will scoop you up and carry you in my arms up the stairway to heaven where we will spend eternal life together. Forever Love...Always Missed...Never Forgotten Love, Mom

My Dear Niko,

My heart is still shattered. There is pain I had never imagined and could never imagine ever feeling again. You were my other child and, nearly 5 months later, I still can't believe you are gone. I did everything I could've that should've given you a long, healthy life...but I couldn't save you from CHF.

We should've had more than 11-1/2 years together. But I am grateful for those 11-1/2 years I had you in my life. I wish it were so much more.

I miss you, my sweet boy, every day.

I miss seeing your sweet face and holding you at night.

You will live forever in my heart and you will never be forgotten.

The one thing that gives me just a little bit of peace is that knowing that one day I WILL see you again and we will walk into heaven together. And when I see you again, it will be like no time has passed.

But, for now, my sweet Niko, my lil' doodle bug, my heart aches. I miss you sooo much.

Forever love...always missed...never forgotten

Happy Birthday in Heaven to my beautiful baby boy, Niko, who would be 12 today. I miss you so much and can't believe you're not here for your birthday party.

Since I won't be able to take a new photo of you today, I made a collage of past birthdays. I love you and I miss you so much. Knowing that one day we will be reunited at the Rainbow Bridge is what keeps me going.

To My Darling Niko. I will always remember the happiness you brought us at home. You were the perfect Dog, sweet and loving and a little bit goofy. You loved making friends with all the dogs in the neighnorhood. You posed so beautifully every time your Human Mom took your picture or made you dress up in those silly clothes. Then you got sick and it took such a toll on everyone. We all miss you so much. We tried to show our love and celebrated what would have been your 12th Birthday yesterday. The only thing missing was you. But there was so much love for you. Until we meet again my sweet Niko at the Rainbow Bridge, I wish cherish all the memories we've had. I love you and miss you. Grandma Barb
