IN MEMORY OF NELSON: Our heartfelt sympathy to Carla & Clif on the loss of their beloved Nelson. We are so very sorry & Godspeed Nelson! From Carla & Clif: Our Nelson was just over 11 years old He came into our family of Borzois when we had Lara and Katia, and then Lara passed and we received Terra Rosa through you and Mary in Cincinnati. Terra and Katia passed in 2011, and we got Nadia, Tamara, and this year, Kyra (Daisy) So Nelson has shared his life with SIX different Borzois, and they were the only family and friends he ever knew. He was a lucky boy to have such a harem. He protected us all, announced “intruders” at the doorbell, and let us know when the FedEx truck entered our driveway. He sang beautifully when the telephone rang and always got Terra Rosa, and later Kyra, started singing too. He was a wonderful companion, and the best friend to Borzois. The title of the photo with the three is: “Terra, Nelson, and Katia: Together again forever.” We had to let Nelson go this morning. His bone cancer had evidently spread such that he couldn’t even make his back legs function this morning. In spite of the pain control and cancer medications he was taking, the cancer could not be stopped. It was time. He went peacefully. He was a wonderful protector and great admirer of his harem of beautiful female Borzois over the eleven years of his life –Katia, Terra, Tamara, Nadia, and Kyra. He was ornery, loud, over-enthusiastic, and a beautiful singer when the telephone rang. He fought his cancer until the end, and never gave up on protecting us and the house. He was always tough and grouchy when anyone got too “touchy-feely-petty” with him, but the next moment he would bring a squeaky toy and wanted you to throw it to him. He didn’t much like any other dogs, but he loved his family. We will miss him so much – he was our only “dog” dog. We hope his spirit is playing with all his departed Borzoi “sisters”: Prancer, Dasha, Lara, Terra and, of course, Katia Every night, as he was falling asleep, Carla would say, ”Goodnight, Nelson” and Nelson would respond with , “Grrr”. “Good night, Nelson”…. Thank you for caring, -Clif & Carla
