I'm truly sorry for your loss of Nanook. I never heard too much about him as I don't visit the dog section all that often, but on many occasions I saw him in your avatar and signature and thought what a beautiful dog he was.

Losing a pet, big or small, is never easy. Stay strong as best you can and know that Nanook would not want you to be sad. He shared a fantastic life with you and I'm sure if he could say one last thing to you he would thank you for those wonderful years.

Take care, Sue, and RIP sweet Nanook.
