Remembering Nikki

Today marks the passing of one full year since I lost Nikki, my first dog. As I was going through the stats for my web site last night, I noticed that someone had arrived here via a Google web search: pastor sad. Hard to believe it, but if you click on that search you'll see that the entry in my blog the day Nikki was diagnosed with cancer is the number one listing on Google for "pastor sad". It seemed like an appropriate thing to discover as I thought about her last night.

A lot of things have happened in the year since losing Nikki, and there are still days when I find myself missing her. But I think she'd be happy to know how well Ellie and I getting along. =) Life is just so much better when it's shared with a dog, and that's a fact. I'm grateful for both Nikki and Ellie - they've blessed my life in ways I can hardly begin to enumerate.
