Default Niki Mcbee on Eternal Patrol

Niki died peacefully in my arms today @ 3:10 pm PST. I came home from work at 4am this morning, and he was having a very difficult time breathing. His condition did not improve. It was time for Niki to go home. Thank you for you kind thoughts and emotional support.

Goodbye my friend
Rest in Peace: 11.28.96 to 3.17.08

R.I.P, at least your dog last longer than mine died by roadkill a month ago. RIP to Speed 11/11/05-02/17/08.

Niki McBee will forever be the mascot of Subsim, there's no doubt about it. My sincere thoughts go out to you in this difficult time, really they do. I wont forget him and the smiles he brought me and everyone here, and will continue to do.

And I hope he has a fun time up there chasing crabs with wings.

He's free. And that is good. The sadness you feel - is an issue of your ego wanting to possess: things, people, pets, and it has nothing to do with what Niki was. Understand that, and your pain will ease: it is not about him, it is about you. Don't think I am heartless. I am not. After having dealt with dying people and really suffering, traumatized people in the past, I just don't like to tell phrases, in the face of death they all mean nothing, and instead I tell you something of real value to help. The only lasting cures to all of life's sufferings and miseries are time, and understanding yourself.

BTW, we lost three dogs when I still lived with my parents, so I know how it's feeling (the pack of hunting dogs my grandfather had not counted). We come. We stay a while, we go. So it is, and it is neither good nor bad. But in the end, nothing has happened, nothing has moved.

Don't look down - look up!

very sorry for your loss. But he is at peace now.

He died in the arms of the one he was devoted to and entrusted to take care of him.

You acted with mercy and love. Never forget his love for you, but don't dwell on the loss. Love is forever.

Sorry to hear that. I know how hard it is for you in these difficult days

R.I.P. Niki

Although we cannot see you anymore, your image remains in our heart, forever.
perhaps sorrow will follow, but it will evolve into transquility

As what we say, gone, but never forgotten
