I was thinking of getting a dog. I was attracted to a Golden Retriever and had discuss this with my girlfriend. At Christmas in 1983 I was given Nick. Nick was a mutt. He was a cross between a Cockapoo and “God knows what”. He was not very majestic.
I married the girl who gave him to me and we raised a family with Nick along through all the highs and lows. He was a great family dog. He never let the small children who pulled on his ears and tail bother him. He loved Daniel Whitney and Maggie.
As the years passed age caught up with him and his sight hearing and joints began to fail. He has spent most of the past year sleeping perhaps dreaming of his younger days. At 17 he had a lot of memories.
As I think back I could not have found a more majestic dog than Nick. He was loyal loving and loved. He is missed.
