Goodbye sweet little Niblet
I had to make the hardest decision to say goodbye to Niblet today. I will love that sweet little dog forever. I will always love Niblet Corndog Delaney. We had so many great adventures.
I know I made the right decision, but it's still so hard and so sad. I spent time with Niblet. I kept asking him if he wanted to stay on earth or go to heaven. I know that he could hardly hear, but I had him close to me. And he always made an effort to lick the finger for heaven. He kinda licked the one for stay on earth once, but he reached out and made a huge effort to lick the option for going to heaven, for going to be with his Mama and his Aunt Bana.
His kidney enzymes were so high that the computer couldn't read them. He had a heart murmur. The poor baby couldn't walk well. His little back legs were folding under him. I tried to feed him a tiny piece of ham and he tried to eat it, but he wasn't able to eat it and let Radar gobble it up. I tried to feed him a tiny piece of roast beef, but he just kept refusing it.
He was the SOFTEST dog. Briana NEVER had a meltdown when Niblet was with her.
I never wanted to have to make this decision. Marbles and Woofles passed away naturally and poor little Butterbean was ran over (though, I always felt like she was a "mark" or a "target" which was really weird . . . well, after a bit I did, anyway).
I'm sure Niblet is up in heaven, enjoying his life again. I know I've seen my other dogs up in heaven. I know that may seem weird, but I have - along with my family members. I'm praying that somehow Niblet lets me know he's doing fine up there. I always feel better once I have that happen.
