Spare thoughts for Nanook please (update page 4)

Sue, I'm sitting here with LES because I know that feeling well.

All I can say is cherish every moment you can with him. Love him, hug him, kiss him and let him know just how much he's meant to you and how much he will always mean to you. Spend every minute you can with him.

I have to say... his pictures are beautiful.

Lots of loving {{{hugs}}} for both you and Nanook.
We'll be keeping that sweet boy in our thoughts and prayers.

Those are wonderful pictures, Sue! What a handsome happy guy! And like I've said before, he always looks so darn huggable! Please give the Nooker bean a big ol' {{hug}} from me!!

Sue, I'm really sorry to hear this . We can all tell from your posts about him, just how much you love your boy. Just remember, you've given him 15 wonderful long years of love, attention & everything else a dog would ever want in life. He's such a happy, handsome boy. You will be in my thoughts.

Nanook is such a handsome boy. I'm sure he knows how much you love him. My thoughts will be with Nanook and with you. {hugs}

Sue, I hope Nanook's time left with you is as much pleasure as it can possibly be for both of you. Hopefully months if not years more of pleasure.

Quality, not quantity. He's had a good life, and, will continue to do so until it's time. I think most of us can relate to how hard it is to reach this point, though, and, it never gets easier. I'm so sorry that you and Nanook are reaching it...I'll be thinking of you both.

Nanook seems like a truly special dog. I know that you have had him since you were young, and I know how hard it is to watch him getting old.
Last year I lost my 17 year old cat I had had since I was in kindergarten, and it was so hard to let her go. I sincerely hope that however long Nanook may have left is cherished by both of you. Sometimes we don't get to say goodbye, but you have that opportunity and I'm sure your last months with him will be very special. I'll be thinking of you both.

I just can't say it any better than Anna (and others) have already said. I do know the feeling well, and you just have to cherish every moment. He's such a loving, sweet boy. Your post really hit home, reminding me of my RB boys and those last couple years with them. It won't be easy, there's just no way around that, but when the time comes we will all be here to share in your grief and give you our love.

Give Nanook special kisses and gentle hugs from me please.

Nanook's pictures are precious. Take as many as you can because you will always cherish them and go back to them for comfort and beautiful memories. When my first Golden Girl, Taffey was having similar problems at 13 1/2 that you describe Nanook as having, I had a friend who was wise enough to take pictures for me. She even took pictures the morning it was decided it was "time" for her to journey on. Now all these years later, I find myself pulling out the pictures and remembering our special bond and the love we shared. I know she is waiting for me and has greeted others I have loved too. She will always be a part of my heart!

As others have said, you will know in your heart when it is time. Nanook will let you know because he loves you and trusts you with such an important decision. He feels the same about you as you feel about him!

Sending {{{{{BIG HUGS}}}}} to both you and Nanook.

I'm SO sorry to read this. I know how hard it is to lose a beloved dog... and it's such a hard decsion to know when to let them go. Nanook is such a happy looking boy. I've always loved seeing pictures of him, I just love that big guy. I really hope he stays healthy and free of pain for as long as he can. He will be in my thoughts and prayers.
