July 6 2000 - July 7 2010
Nemo came to our home on the 3rd of June 2010.
He was a sweet, gentle, quiet, precious dog.
Blind in one eye and going blind in the other... didn't bother him.
He knew my voice and he followed it.
Right up to the end, I could count on him for a hug when I needed it.
Rainbows Bridge received a special soul tonight.
I'll miss you little buddy and your goofy way of slamming your head into my chest.
Your soft muzzle on the back of my leg when you just had to make sure I was still standing next to you.
Nemo suffered 4 seizures today. The day after his 10th birthday.
The last seizure was almost fatal so the decision was made to put him down and prevent any more pain. He didn't know what was happening to him and he definitely didn't deserve to hurt like that.
I miss him, but I'm glad I got to spend this past month with him. I hope I made him happy because I know he made me smile. Goodbye Nemo.

so sorry to hear he didn't make it, he seemed to be very sweet, and you sure tried hard to help him stay comfortable. hang in there, I know it must be hard for you right now. I like to think of these little fellas going to keep Mom and Gramps, company.
I wonder if his hasty decline was due to missing his family. I'm sorry you had to make the hard decision in order to keep him from suffering. You're such a great pet daddy, he was blessed to spend his last days with your pack. Hugs!
Damn. Seizures are a hard one to deal with. Ours looked perfectly fine and healthy, until the seizures occured. He was an especially hard one for me to let go of. I'm sorry.
Aah, Dean, I'm sorry to hear it, he was a really lovely little man, and that picture of him was one of my favorites that day... he was so gentle and kind...
wow, I've missed a lot this week. I'm so sorry about Nemo, but I've always felt that the dogs who get to come live with you for whatever period of time have tasted a bit of heaven. Nemo was lucky enough to spend his last days in doggie heaven on earth with you.
Hope this is the last of the drama for awhile. You could use the break...
