She had been a real trooper through it all, and it was crushing to have to put her down.
We will always have fond memories of her. In fact, she will always be remembered as having been part of the initial inspiration for the little song I put together, Jehovah Is His Name.
And then there are the memories of her with Brodey, who thankfully seems to be ok as of right now with Nessa missing, even though they had been together with each other for their entire lives...
Here's when we got them back in 2009:
In this video from 2010 from this blog post, she seemed to prove what I thought, which was Nessa kinda had a screw loose: :) (The video has no thumbnail, but you should still be able to play it; or you can go to the blog post link.)
Here are brother and sister again, 2013 and 2017:
And here's a final video from back in January, soon after Nessa's surgery. We had a double cone on her to try to keep her from the stitches, and a "diaper" wrap to try to keep her from the open wound:
Goodbye Nessa bo-bessa....we'll miss you lots....
....and we thank the Lord for the gift that you were, and for the time He allowed us to have you!
