You guys are so sweet, always there for others when we need it. Im not sure any amount of thank yous will ever repay yous for all the kind & wonderful support I have received nor can I come up with any form of words that can describe how grateful I am to have friends like you.
Thank you once again.
Ooops, should probably post a little update. It's hard to remember when you got Nook' on the brain & hard to type when you have tears in your eyes.
Last night I was actually amazed with him. As I walked in the door he was happily trotting down the hallway to great me. Not once in about 2 months has he heard me enter the house, even when he is right next to the door.
He was also very talkative & playful (still had to play by laying down but he was more energetic). Of course his hind end is still so weak he is still not doing great but there was a vast improvement last night. This morning he was a little worse again but not as bad as he has been in the past.
I know I will never know for sure when he is ready until the time actually comes but I do know he is not ready right now. We talk to each other daily about our life, events, memories and as of lately a lot about when its time to go. He tells me straight out he's not ready yet. :) He says he'll let me know when he's ready and boy do I hope he does.
He spends his days enjoying being spoiled absolutely rotten and relaxing.
i´m happy you both are happy and enjoying life together!!! kisses to Nookie and extra hugs to you for being such a great pet owner and person
UPDATE
I want to thank you all again for the thoughts & prayers, they mean the world to me.
Nanook has had a few accidents over the weekend. He fell a few times, on his good leg. One fall was so bad it prevented him from walking on that leg for quite some time, all evening and into the next day. This would make about 8 falls within the last 5 or so days, that I know of anyways where he has cried out in pain.
He went back to the vets today and is on stronger pain meds and more supplements, thats all they can do for him at this point, better stronger drugs. :( Although his mobility is still limited he does appear to be doing better, still not even as good as he was even last week though. I tell ya what though that boy is still as happy as can be. He's got some high spirits thats for sure. :D Thats my man! :)
Nothing is set in stone obviously but the vets gave him about 2-3 week max., if he doesn't get worse, which myself & my family & friends think the same. :(
I have some new pics but forgot my camera today... I will also be taking new ones daily. I don't when I will get them up but I will try my best to soon. Things are pretty hectic now, I am having a lot of company some in the next week. MANY people want to say their last goodbyes to my boy. He sure is well known. I don't know how many times I take him for a walk & people yell out "hey Nanook" and I have no clue who those people are. He's traveled clear across country (from NY to Oregon & in between) & back a couple times, he even made into some concerts that I couldn't get into. lol My brother is trying to arrange a funeral for him, thats how well known he is. Isn't that sweet?
So we take it day by day, he gets lots of lovins & yummies and of course is spoiled in every way possible. Nanook is glad to anounce that he will not be seeing any more dog food though (or at least plain kibble, maybe lots of canned merrick though). Hey when your about 109ish you can eat anything you want to (besides grapes, raisins, choc & onions lol).
I would like to ask you all perhaps the biggest thing I could ever ask for in my entire life, to keep him in your prayers daily, during these last few days/weeks he has here with us and a safe & peaceful passing. That my friends is all that matters to me as he is seriously the most imprtant thing to me in my entire life. Thank you all once again from the bottom of my heart.
Oh Gosh Sue! I just read through this thread with tears!! It breaks my heart to know that you're heart dog is aging and has almost reached his time to cross the bridge. I'm sure though, that he's the happiest boy around and knows how deeply you love him. Prayers that the next few weeks will be smooth and that Nanook rests easy until his time.
{{{{hugs}}}}

Oh Sue, I am so sad after reading your update.
I am sorry and hope his last weeks are good ones.

(((hugs))) I can hardly see though my tears, so forgive me if I misspell. I have been remembering Nanook in my prayers and will continue to do so. I hope that the time you have remaining with him is special. At least you are expecting it and are able to say goodbye. Try to update us whenever possible (I know you're busy, just whenever you get the chance). I will be thinking about you. Tons of ((((((hugs)))))) and kisses to Nanook from me.
Oh Sue how heartbreaking this must be for you. However, you can spend each and every day with him and enjoy it to its fullest. My sincerest prayers for you and Nooker Bean. I hope that Kaige and Raustyk somehow sense this time and also will do what they need to do to get through this with you. ((((Hugs))))
