<div><font size="2"><font face="verdana,sans-serif"> John and I, Nigel's two-legged family, want to thank all the Droolers for your kindness, your cards, your calls, your concern and thoughtfulness while we struggled with Nigel and his "crisis". </font></font></div>
<div><font size="2"><font face="verdana,sans-serif">I believe that you, the Drool, saved Nigel's life.</font></font></div>
<div><font size="2"><font face="verdana,sans-serif">At the beginning of all this, at the pronouncement of the University that surgery on his back would probably give him a less than 5% likelihood of any kind of recovery, we saw our only option to be that of putting him down.</font></font></div>
<div><font size="2"><font face="verdana,sans-serif">In the meantime, you of the Drool community continued to hold us up, to give us prayers and thoughts and support. And the community pulled together and reminded us of other options, gave us time to think and reconsider.</font></font></div>
<div><font size="2"><font face="verdana,sans-serif">So it may take a Village to raise a Child, but it took the Drool to save a dog. And we thank you with all our hearts. This is indeed a wonderous group. I know of no other like it. I am proud to be a Drooler. </font></font></div>
<div><font size="2"><font face="verdana,sans-serif">Love to you all,</font></font></div>
