Her life was undoubtedly too short, but in that short time she gave more love, more cuddles, more kisses, more joy, and more happiness than we could have ever asked for.
I know Cole knew her for much longer than I did, but I have always considered her "ours." I have been blessed to know her and love her. She included me in her family as much as anyone else. She will always be our first little girl and we will always treasure the sweet memories she gave us.
Our lives are better because she was in it.
"A dog doesn't care if you're rich or poor, big or small, young or old. He doesn't care if you're not smart, not popular, not a good joke-teller, not the best athlete, nor the best-looking person. To your dog, you are the greatest, the smartest, the nicest human being who was ever born. You are his friend and protector." -Louis Sabin
We love you forever Ninny!

Oh my gosh, I am so sorry!! That is so hard, your dogs become just one of the kids, it has got to be so hard to say goodbye, Whit was a good dog too. Sorry about that : (
Oh I am so sorry! I know how much Cole loved Whitney and he always talked about her! Give him a hug for me! She was such a beautiful dog!
That is so sad! I know how much we love our dog, and I'd be crushed if she died. So sorry!
I'm so sorry about Ninny!! It's got to be hard for both of you. Isn't it something how a dog can become such an important part of your life? Something about that unconditional love and their individual personalities. I can tell she was very very loved :)
I'm sorry to hear about your dog! That's really hard. She looks like she was very sweet...
My memories of Whit: The barbwire and run to the vet, cat fight(pretty sure she lost), more barbwire, too much energy for sweet allie, did I mention barbwire, her alien abduction at Causey, and lots of love. I think I need to cry.
Out of all of our dogs Whit had the most sweet, gentle spirit of all. She gave us her unconditional love and trust and always wanted to be part of the action (opening everyones presents) and cuddling right on top of you. (she always had to have a part of her touching you and she loved to sleep under the tubbus (covers)...we have sooo many nick names for her and she came to everyone of them. Mine was Netty, Nitty, Whitty, Whit and my heart aches for her kisses and nibbles she would give all of us and she LOVED stuffed animals and loved to chew their ears, tails, feet, and horns off and we would have to say "hey you be nice" and she would stop by just saying that to her in a quit little kids voice. She loved to go hunting and always came home hurt. Dan, Cole and Nate always made fun of me for worrying over her during the hunting season. She loved China meadows, it was heaven to her, she loved to navigate during car rides, she loved her seasta (sister) Chloe and they would lick each others noses. She loved raw hides and they made her sick (so she could only have them at Christmas)she was sooo special and now we all feel like we are dying inside, I feel cheated for only nine and a half years with her (I know thats selfish) But Whitney was one in a million, I am greatful for those nine and a half years because to have a dog like her really only happens once in a lifetime...dont get me wrong I have LOVED all of our dogs and they all have had very special traits.. My Trixie (the Beatris) among a half dozen other nick names and Lukie (Luke) that Whit was alot like and sweet little Chloe (my little growler)that acts more like Trixie and loves only family...But What love she gives us we need Chloes love now more than ever to help get us through this hard time, she too misses Whit...But at least we do have all the special memories of all our dogs to carry us on..I wouldnt have traded one day of them in our lives, even though it rips your heart out to put them down. (but they do know its out of LOVE that we do this for them. We LOVE you Nitty...life is going to be so different now :(
