Terhotarhan "Ninnie"

Ninnie when she was 5 days old

Me and Ninnie. If only we had known, that it was our last day together.

Everything in Ninnie’s life was dramatic. She was too big to be born normally, so her mom had to have a Cecarian. She had been stuck in the birth canal for so long that we had difficulties getting her eating on the first day, and two days later the hot summer heath wave almost wiped her out.

But she made it, and showed an open-minded, curious temperament – she was always exploring new items in the puppy box, tried to “mountain climb” over her mom Terho, and loved to cuddle and play with her sister Onni-Makkara - and she would get very annoyed if she did not succeed in the tasks she set for herself. She quickly learned many essential dog habits: to wave her little tail, bark, wiggle her leg when scratched at the right spot, and run madly in her sleep. She was very special for us, and we loved her so much.

And then, just when Ninnie had opened her eyes, started to get a few needle sharp teeth and learned to walk properly - ready to enjoy all the excitements of a proper dog life - she suffered acute pneumonia :( We are so sorry that we could not help you, Ninnie; hopefully where you are now little dogs can always have fun.

Love and miss little Ninnie eternally.
