Niko, my beloved granddog who lived beyond his years due to the love of my daughter and son-in-law.

I have and have had many granddogs. Three have pssed on - Bo, Angus and Niko; three remain - Phoebe, Axel and Diesel. When I was with Phoebe after my daughter's memorial service I found the peace of mind I had been searching for over the days between my daughter's sudden death and her memorial service. Phoebe holds a sacred place in my heart. My daughter's dog, Niko, was to be put down but my daughter refused to do this; my son-in-law had to put him down and he cried so much an assistant followed him and Phoebe home and went into the house with him until he was sure he was okay.

I would like to have a dog but my husband has terminal cancer and this is impossible at the present time.
