[animal_rescue]

Oh I'm crying now, I'll pray that his last few weeks are as happy as can be!

I thought of you and Nanook when I saw this. Hugs to you and sweet Nanook and all who have been touched by his life well lived.


By Gene Hill

He is my other eyes that can see above the clouds;
my other ears that hear above the winds.
He is the part of me that can reach out into the sea.

He has told me a thousand times over that I am his reason
for being by the way he rests against my leg;
by the way he thumps his tail at my smallest smile;
by the way he shows his hurt when I leave without taking him.
(I think it makes him sick with worry when he is not
along to care for me.)

When I am wrong, he is delighted to forgive.
When I am angry, he clowns to make me smile.
When I am happy, he is joy unbounded.

When I am a fool, he ignores it.
When I succeed, he brags.

Without him, I am only another man. With him, I am all-powerful.

He is loyalty itself. He has taught me the meaning of devotion.

With him, I know a secret comfort and a private peace.
He has brought me understanding where before I was ignorant.

His head on my knee can heal my human hurts.
His presence by my side is protection against my fears of dark and
unknown things.

He has promised to wait for me...whenever...wherever--
in case I need him.
And I expect I will--as I always have.

You are so very welcome. I have had you both in my mind all day.

[Lobodeb]

I'm just reading this now, and I'm terribly sorry. I can't imagine the pain you're going through watching that sweet boy and not be able to help him. At least you know to cherish every last minute with him and not take any time with him for granted. I'm crying just thinking about you.

Please give him a gentle hug for me and I'll make sure to include you in my prayers.

nanook, sue & critters,

know we're still thinking of you! especially an office I have been walking pass to my school counselor. I keep seeing a beautiful picture taped on glass window, a verison-like of nanook.
(8x10! his name is sawyer). all is missing is a loving mom next to it and can imagine you there. I smiled big and thought of you both, wished dogs didn't have to live this so short. . .sigh.

((((many fuzzy&warm hugs)))) don't forget to take care of yourself too!! don't do too much and pamper yourself as much as what nanook have let you. xo

[CathyBogart]

I just found this thread. *Hugs* to both of you. Nook, you take care of your mom, okay? Wishing you peaceful and pain-free times, however long you may have left.
