When Nadia first came to us she was like a big fur ball. After a couple of weeks she turned out more like a bear. But she was adorable. Nadia was a chow chow mix and had the infamous purple tongue. |

Nadia Loved FOOD!!
and with every meal had to have her milk bone dog biscuits
. She loved to go for walks. Not even a mass tumor on her hind leg stopped her from wanting a walk. As soon as she would see the leash
she would be up and ready go.

Nadia
could often be found lavishing in the sun. I often thought she
looked like a Queen, sitting with such poise and authority. But
if she had a chance to run and play she would. She loved to catch
tennis balls  in mid air and struggle with control.
One of my favorite games with her was me throwing the ball and
hiding, kind of like hide and seek. And after a day of sun and fun
she'd want some affection too, like having her belly rubbed. |

Nadia at Old Age
These are some of the last pictures of Nadia. She had grown old, a bit tired but her personality still shined through. Nadia was a fighter through and through. She survived a train incident, her first battle with cancer and though she didn't make it through her 2nd battle, she held on like a true champion. Nadia will always be the
Queen of our
hearts.
