    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've always loved Nanook's sweet, happy face. It's never easy deciding when to say goodbye. All I can say is try to focus on the loving him and making those final days or hopefully months some of the best, and when the time comes you'll be able to remember those plus all the others you've collected over the last 15+ years. Initially you won't be able to do that without a lot of sadness and tears, (it took me months before I could even think of my RB terrier, Sandy, without tearing. He passed away a couple of days shy of his 16th birthday.) but eventually you'll be able to think of those memories with a smile and know he had a full and happy life. He's trully a special boy and my prayers and thoughts are with both of you. Give him a big hug for me.

    oh sue, heartbreaking already only reading the title and "my life, heart, soul, buddy and everything........."

    I know it's very hard on you especially and you did this to find such some comfort from us. well, I've never experienced this myself but there was one cat who I don't see very much but already has a place in my heart. and one day that cat's owner, my good friend called me to come and to stay with her, ending her cat's suffering days, I bawled like he was mine for two days straight. so you too, you're my special friend and your furkids means a lot to me too because they means dearly to YOU.

    I hate to know, say, hear, see that nanook is the next.. LES here, I remember one morning when I woke up at your house, nanook was just right by me on the floor, I looked at him, just thinking & amazed how happy, so gentle and SO loving he is for afterall how soo much health problems he has!! geez, I loved watching you and him having morning moments, you talking to him, say "good morning sweetie, come on here", him looking at you, following you to kitchen like any fursoulmates would do. but couldn't go to work with you because he was in pain.. (and he getsto stay with me!)

    ah... that, I think you should do more of that, cherish every moment and grab every opportunity you could play with him, take him to your work, walk him gently in sunshines when he isn't in pain. then eventually the good will outbalance the sad part. in time.. really, before and after.

    sweet sue, nanook & you, be in my thoughts! know my ark's chimening prayers for you both & love you all very much! ((((hugs & hugs)))) remember I'll be seeing you soon!
    rest and sleep softly sweet locke..

    sorry i just saw this, and needed to give you all my support and i totally symphatize i´ve been there and its awful, as said by many Nanook seems so energetic and healthy and most of all happy, so as long as we want to keep them forever it cant be and the time you two have spent is the most valuable thing. so now you have to think of him and not you (i also thought of me, i dont say you do too, please dont get me wrong) because when one of my dogs passed she was 14.5 and i didnt wanted her to go, but tehn i saw she was in pain, her legsa didnt work right she felt constantly and when she got up she shaked so bad she prefered to stay laid, i realized that was no fair life for her so i asked God, because he knew best "if shes suffering as much as i can see, because she is a tough dog, please take her with you so she can have peace and tha pain goes away" she went to the RB during her sleep... i cried my eyes out as i´m right now, but you gotta be tough and since Nookie seems much much better than my dog was, he´ll give you more time of love and companionship, so cherish every moment with him, as it could be days, weeks or years dogs deserve our dearest love ALWAYS and ge always get it back no matter how they feel. if you need anything dont hesitate and PM me, i´m here for you both............HUGS and Kisses

    Sue, I had tears in my eyes from reading this. Nanook is such a sweet boy. I hate to hear this terrible news. Please know that you are in my thoughts! The relationship between you & Nanook reminds me so much of mine & Tiger's relationship and my heart goes out with you. Please keep us updated!!
