Goodbye Old Friend

This week we had to say a very hard goodbye to a good old friend, our dog Nick. He lived a good, happy life, but came to the point where he just didn't seem happy anymore & he even snipped at Jameson. After months of debate we decided we had to get rid of him for our sake and his. It was very hard and we all miss him a lot, but we know it was the right thing to do. He was such a good boy when we took him too. He didn't bark at the other dogs, he was so sweet and went right with the sweet girl we handed him over too, and he didn't seem sad at all. That helped a lot. We sure do/will miss him. He was a good old dog. Here are a few pics I took of Nick and Jameson together because Jameson wanted some pics of his own so he could remember him.

The boy's favorite things today - his dog and the leaf he found that's as big as his head.
A boy and his dog. There's no relationship like it. They really did love each other a ton.

Here's Nick in one of his favorite spots to lay and watch the world go by. The neighbors all talked about how they loved seeing his cute little face under the gate as they walked by.

How sad...we'll miss him to. You'll be surprised at how much he remembers him. Jada STILl remembers Micho and she was only 2 when he ran away.
