Right from the start you were a thief, you stole my heart and I your willing victim. Song here.
Since my untimely retirement I had an amazing chance to hang out with a dog 3 days a week for the whole day!! Since a dog is not really a full time thing that can happen here I was thrilled with the chance. Nick came, and like the song stole my heart.
Not just my heart but MM also had a strange problem that whenever Nick was close MM's voice would change and his hands would reach out and rub whatever part was closest. He added so much to our home. FUR for one. It was everywhere all the time. I even found it in a loaf of bread I baked! He also taught me there is no such thing as a 3 second rule. If you cannot pick it up quicker than him it was gone!
I learned naps and beds are better shared.
As are all fruits and veggies!
Just last month Nick came for a little over a week to hang out with me while his wonderful parents went away. The kids had such a good time with him. Even then he was having issues breathing and it was hard to see.
I guess you are asking why is she rambling about a dog and where is the goodbye?
Well that is the sad part. Nick was very sick for over 1/2 his short life. He had auto immune issues and nothing helped. The one drug that did to some degree made him aggressive and food crazed. There is a technical term but darned if I can remember what it was.
If Nick was a human.. So make him a 30 year old man dealing with cancer. He would be the one dancing, singing, laughing and keeping everybody's moods and spirits up.
Nick might have left this world sick and sad but he forever brightened mine.
Nick spent his last Friday here with me, and its like he knew something was wrong and he was ready to go.
Saturday I took him for a walk butthe sun was too bright for him. We spent lots of time snuggling and me crying into his fur.
