Our dear dog Nemi, was recently found to have cancer in her hip and shoulder. Sadly, we will have to put her down soon. /She is the best dog in the world, and I don't like dogs. Sorry, but I really don't. but Nemi and I have always understood that- and she doesn't mind. The reason I like her so much is she has never messed in my yard, doesn't stink, doesn't shed hardly any hair, is quiet, and gentle, yet can scare the you know what out of strangers! I really will miss her. I will never forgt when we went to get her at the airport 7 years ago. The lady said that she was a ladie's dog, and that she would do best if I took her from the cage into the van. I was very pregnant with Hudson. The lady said to have hotdogs to feed her, so I vey cautiously reached my hand into this cage and fed her the hotdogs. I'm thinking " I really need my hands, you know, and if this dog bites one off we are all gonna suffer" Well she gobbles them up and slowly I open the cage, the coller goes on , then the leash and then she runs with me running behind her- it was a hoot. I am being pulled all over the cargo area of the airport- with my big stomach out front behind this massive dog! Phil yells " I have a whole pack of dogs on the front of the van floor see of you can get her close" I don't know how, but before I knew it we were in the van and she was scarfing down 16 hotdogs.. She finally sat down and as I stroked her back she went to sleep and then we suffered the horrible smell that we soon came to realize was "just Nemi" The aftermath of 24 hotdogs on the stomach of any creature can be somewhat unbearable! We love this dog, and will miss her very much.
