Tika (German Shepherd) and Hogan (Malamute) knew each other for most of their lives and it was love at first sight! Tika was so excited whenever she got to see Hogan. While they didn't see each other very often, I'm so glad I got them together more frequently during their final days (right up until Tika's final hours). Their final doggy date was so heartwarming!
Tika departed on May 28/21 and Hogan followed her soon after on June 24/21. (Hogan's Dad is Cory Vanthuyne).
TIKA's 14.5 years of life on earth: 1/3/7 - 5/28/21.
Tika is my soul dog and she has had a profound impact on life. I've written a two-part story documenting our experience with Tika, a senior German Shepherd dog that developed Degenerative Myelopathy (paralysis of the spine) in her latter years. I hope her story reaches pets and parents who are experiencing similar circumstances and who may be in need of some guidance, compassion and hope.
