Nadira approx. Autumn 2005 - March 29, 2007

Nadira, my beloved Nadira. I miss you so much. Your laughing black eyes, your alertness, your playfulness and the many hours you relaxed on my hand, in my lap, bruxing and feeling happy. After almost an entire year of happiness, your journey is now over and you have traveled on, my beloved little Nadi.
White shores... and beyond. The far green country under a swift sunrise.
Altho I do not believe in an afterlife, I am certain, you will always be part of me.

Nadira probably suffered from a tumor in her uterus and despite medical treatment, today, she started to bleed and I knew her time had come. Instead of experimenting, we decided to let her journey on. No need to let her suffer, she had a happy life and should not have a gruesome ending. We have had so many adventures with Nadira, we were lucky to spend so much time with her. She had jaw abscesses and one of her lower teeth grew crooked so that we had to have her teeth shortened now and then. Nadira was such a trooper, she never let anything stop her. We miss you, little Nadi, wish you could have lived forever.

Nadira's quirks:

	Very picky eater. Loved all things sweet, especially her fave rice cookies.
	Fast and agile like you would not believe. Could get anywhere she wanted.
	Loved being around Bunny and me, could relax with us for hours and really enjoyed being friends with us.
	Had this really soft blueish-grey-white fur, smelled heavenly and was always properly groomed.
	The most loving, dark rattie eyes, you can imagine: Play with me! Be my friend! Let's do stuff!
	Not believing in borders, she would not stop in front of an unfamiliar room but go exploring.
