A story from Liz Furmanek about Matchmaker Nick posted 07/07/2010 I have written to you before telling you about my three dogs. We lost Ellesi Rose (14--tumor on spine) and Eyelet Lace (15--Doggie Alzheimers)and only had Nick, our cocker spaniel left. Nick is the reason that I met my husband, Jim. Jim was walking Nick and I was walking my two girls and the latter attacked Nick. The three dogs soon became fast friends (a pack as we used to refer to them) and Jim and I got married in the park a year and a half later. Ellesi and Eyelet wore rose garlands and Nick wore a bow tie! Last Wednesday, Nick died in Jim's arms probably from a seizure. He was 14. We are heart-broken, but vow, when it is time, to get more dogs. Although they are only with us what seems to be such a short time. They are always in our hearts and we smile.
