He is 14 years young; at least he was young until Sunday night changed that. Actually it is vestibular syndrome which has changed Nick\u2019s normal vitality and zest, making him seem every second of his age. Literally, moments before the \u201cattack\u201d none of us had any idea what was to happen.<span class=\"\" style=\"display:block;clear:both;height: 0px;padding-top: 10px;border-top-width:0px;border-bottom-width:0px;\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Of course, I did dream three nights earlier that I was spreading his ashes around the only back yard he has ever known. But when I woke I thought I had just jumped a few time lines, not an unusual occurrence for me in my dream body (or any other body really).<span class=\"\" style=\"display:block;clear:both;height: 0px;padding-top: 10px;border-top-width:0px;border-bottom-width:0px;\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p>So here I sit watching Nick sleep, which is much more preferred to watching him try to navigate what is for him a spinning world. And as I have tons of time on my hands with little desire to focus on anything but him, I decide to completely immerse my Self with his Self, attempting to know what he wants from me, whether he wants to stay or leave.<br \/>\nFollowing is what he told me:<span class=\"\" style=\"display:block;clear:both;height: 0px;padding-top: 10px;border-top-width:0px;border-bottom-width:0px;\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Nick says it doesn\u2019t matter whether he is here or there, he loves me and knows I love him back. He doesn\u2019t care if I fight for his body to stay with me longer because for him, as much as he loves the hugs and the food, the food mostly, he is \u2013 even if his body isn\u2019t- always loving me unconditionally.<span class=\"\" style=\"display:block;clear:both;height: 0px;padding-top: 10px;border-top-width:0px;border-bottom-width:0px;\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p>After all, says Nick, it\u2019s all about love. Life is about love and there is nothing else that\u2019s real. That\u2019s why dogs are so loyal, even to those who treat them badly.<span class=\"\" style=\"display:block;clear:both;height: 0px;padding-top: 10px;border-top-width:0px;border-bottom-width:0px;\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Even if they don\u2019t have opposable thumbs, they have something that is even more important in the grand scheme of things &#8211; they have hearts, minds and souls that know only love.<span class=\"\" style=\"display:block;clear:both;height: 0px;padding-top: 10px;border-top-width:0px;border-bottom-width:0px;\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p>And those really mean dogs, made so by very wounded owners, are in it for love too. They continually love those that are so mean to them, always hoping to change their hearts. They never judge them, for that limits love, and the potential for change.<span class=\"\" style=\"display:block;clear:both;height: 0px;padding-top: 10px;border-top-width:0px;border-bottom-width:0px;\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p>According to Nick, when people say it\u2019s a dog\u2019s life, they\u2019re right. For it\u2019s our dogs, who love unconditionally and without judgment. And that\u2019s a great life indeed!<span class=\"\" style=\"display:block;clear:both;height: 0px;padding-top: 10px;border-top-width:0px;border-bottom-width:0px;\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p>We then collectively decide that yes, he will stay with me in his body. I need to ask if he\u2019s staying for the food or the hugs. His answer \u2013 yes!<span class=\"\" style=\"display:block;clear:both;height: 0px;padding-top: 20px;border-top-width:0px;border-bottom-width:0px;\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Visit my website at <a
