To my NikkoMan,
From the day we met, I knew that you were different from all of our other pugs. Your “pigeon” growl and your crooked tail that seemed to only want to wag to the left is probably what gave it away! But the fact that you never ever let me out of your sight and followed me every where I went (even if that did mean I had pugs in every shower), I knew that I had a friend that loved me unconditionally. That kind of feeling is incredible. But suddenly, you could no longer see me and you could not follow me and I know that frustrated you.
You tried your hardest, to stick by my side and I am sorry that I put you through all of those tests, but I needed to know what was making my little man so sick. Encephalitis is what took you away from me. I feel terrible for anyone to have to watch their best friend helplessly and slowly deteriorate. Daddy and I did everything we could buddy, but you were in so much pain and couldn’t see you hurt anymore.
You and Daisy are back together again. LuLuBear misses you terribly, she just isn’t the same without you. The snoring duo is now only one. She needs a friend again. Soon, we will welcome a new pug, but he will never replace my little man. Go and run with Daisy and when we meet again we’ll definitely take a shower!
Lots of Belly Rubs,
