Elma Pador wrote a sympathy message

“Nikki, So many dog owners in our neighborhood were shocked learning of your passing. I was shocked bec. Sora & I were walking by your house a few days before & saw Max in the window. After Thanksgiving, I saw the mailman & asked if he’d seen you & if you’re alright. Just a few days ago I sent you a wellness check text. We will miss you very much & many dogs up there will be happy to see you. Rest now my friend, no more pains & enjoy everlasting life. We’ll meet someday. Elma Pador & Sora🐾”
