Rest in Peace Nick


We are sad to say that our family pet of 10 1/2 years past away
November 7, 2009 around 5:00pm.

Justin and I got Nick a month after we were married.

We walked into the pet store and right away saw his big floppy ears.
He was solid white and had a ton of hair.
He was so happy.

In other words...it did not take much to convince us to pick him.

Nick was such a good pet. He was mild tempered, always happy, well behaved and full of love.

A year ago Nick got very sick. We took him to the doctor and after many test we determined that he had some kind of infection. We also discovered that he had Heart worms and a tumor on his spleen. All things were treated and taken care of except the tumor. We were told it maybe cancer so there was no reason to operate. A year later his body gave up. He had been getting weaker and weaker for the past couple of months. The last week we kept pushing the issue off hoping an praying he would go on his on. The picture below was taken about 30 mins. prior to him being put to sleep. It broke our heart to make the decision but we knew it was for the best.
He will be greatly missed!
