Spare thoughts for Nanook please (update page 4)

**elizabethann** · 03-08-2006, 03:22 PM

Poor little Nanook. He sure is mighty handsome. But please don't be upset. He may still have a few more years on him. He's just getting to be little slow and his bones are aching just like old people. But in his heart, he is still a young pup.

I am sending positive vibes to Nanook right now.

Sue, I remember you telling me this on Yahoo, and it got me all teary eyed. Now I'm like about to bawl. I really dont know what to say, but of course I'll keep Nanook in my thoughts. He is a sweet gorgeous boy, and with all the time he's been with you, I know he's had more love than ever.
((((HUGS))))
Give Nanook some kisses from me.

Nanook, you handsome boy. You sure look years younger than your age sweetheart.

I will pray for Nanook to have good days always and for him to somehow let you know if the time is right.

Hugs to you.

Oh Sue, you have me in tears here. I know how much this boy means to you. In the few months that I've been a member here, I have grown to "know" and love quite a few animals, but Nanook is certainly one that I love more than most. There's something about his expressions and the way you write about him that make him seem like such an amazing friend.

I hope things start to look up from here. If not you know that you have been a good owner and friend to him and that's more than he could ever ask for. 15 1/2 is so old for any dog, especially a large dog! You must be a wonderful doggie mom for him to live that long, and he must love it with you to stick around!

Sue, my thoughts for you as well. (((Hugs)))

You two will be in my thoughts.

**Flatcoatluver** · 03-08-2006, 06:39 PM

(((HUGS))) this is so hard. Nanook and you will be in my prayers.

**Alysser** · 03-08-2006, 06:46 PM

Oh Nanook! I am so sorry. Nanook I want you to know you've ALWAYS have been one of my favorite dogs on PT. Your mommy loves you to death and we know she is going to do whats best for you. I'm so sorry.((HUGS)) Prayers and good thoughts on the way

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.

**k9krazee** · 03-08-2006, 07:08 PM

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!!

**Tollers-n-Dobes** · 03-08-2006, 07:34 PM

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.

**chocolatepuppy** · 03-08-2006, 07:56 PM

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}

**Lady's Human** · 03-08-2006, 08:01 PM

(((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.

**finn's mom** · 03-08-2006, 08:20 PM

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.

**Pembroke_Corgi** · 03-08-2006, 09:46 PM

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.
