Nice passed away early saturday morning, March 4th. She wasn't eating for the past week and didn't have any energy. Then again, it was inevitable, she'd been with us for 13 or so years, well within the life expectancy of a Japanese Spitz.
Nice never really barked much for a dog, reserving it only for special and arcane situations that I've never quite figured out. She had always been demure, standing or sitting in very showdog poise, except for this particular candid shot taken when she just woke up one morning on her back with her hind legs splayed open.
Nice was incredibly friendly, and we used to kid that she couldn't scare anything away. She'd make a very poor guard dog, but that's not why we had her anyway. She was a friend and a family member, and we will miss her dearly.
