Nickolas Cardwell

I look at you and wonder what my life would have been without you. The first day I saw you with those big beautiful eyes, I couldn’t help but fall in love with you. It was a joy just to sit with you as you helped me relieve the stress of the day. Your fur was the softest I’ve ever felt. I loved playing tug-a-war with you and your toys lamb chops and snoopy, it was OUR time. We had the best of times in the pool as you jumped and floated away on your floatie. The best dog ever as you stood by and watched Noelle have her litter. You loved playing with your son Noah and then continue to run around the house. But, time catches up to us all and 17 and half years later, we had to let you go. It was one of the hardest days. I will always love you forever.

Nick, I’ve been thinking so much of you the last few days. Tonight is the 4th and not your favorite holiday. The fireworks were never your favorite. They scared you so bad that you kept running up and down the stairs looking for comfort. We smiled and did the best we could to comfort you. You were our little boy and we wouldn’t let anything hurt you. Giving you big hugs.
