It
has taken me a long time to write about Nitro simply
because his loss was so painful and unexpected. His non-aggressive
temperament, strong food and play drive, and power
and speed on
the agility course made him fun to train and
wonderful to live with. He was a smart, willing, and exuberant dog
with an "off" button and a terrific sense of humor.
Everyone knew when he was running because he would
bark the entire time -- not out of frustration, but
from sheer joy. He certainly made me a better and
faster handler since he averaged over 6 yards per
second on the course. We are still heartbroken that he
is no longer with us.
