RIP Little Nicky

i feel super bad 'cause we had to put my grandfather's dog, nicky, to sleep today. he's been having seizures and problems in the last week and recent x-rays have revealed he has several fused vertabrae which is incredibly painful. he's kind of on the older side for such a HUGE dog (he was around six feet on his hind legs) so we thought it was best that he didn't suffer anymore. poor guy. he was a sweet dog, pretty doofy but really a good boy. the saddest part is we (marco and i) were ready to take him off my grandfather's hands because he's a big guy that needed more strength and training than my grandfather could provide. so he wasn't just grandpa's dog, but he was our dog too. marco had just taught him to sit and we were working on lying down. rip little nicky, hope everything works out in doggy heaven.
