She was the cutest, most awesome pet I've ever known. We love and miss her so much and just can't believe she's gone.
Givitamahw, little one. Givitamahw. I love you and wish you were still here.

That is so awful...I am literally sitting here with tears. Enjoying your podcasts has made me start to think of you and Jorge as friends, I guess, and my heart just aches for you guys today.
You are in my prayers.
I'm so sorry. Losing a pet is incredibly painful. Hugs to you and Jorge.
I'm so sorry Beth. A big hug for Jorge and you. I'm buddhist and I´m going to burn an incense for you both and Nunu's journey.
Love and peace.
Absolutely heartbreaking. I'm so sorry for your loss.
:( So sorry for your loss. She was a special pup.
So sorry about that. I hope you two have some comfort in these times.
I don't know if this post will get through but whatever the case may be, I would like to offer you my love and sympathy. You two are beautiful people and Nunu IS and will always be the best. All the LOST fans love her.
Love from Athens, Greece

I cry every time I read this. Hugs to you and Jorge, you are in our hearts and thoughts.
Beth and Jorge, I am so sorry for the loss of Nunu. She had a good mom and dad.
I am so sorry to hear about Nunu. I loved reading about her on your blog. She might make a great hero in one of your children's books one day.
I'm so sorry for your incomprehensible loss of such a loving and faithful family member. We feel as if we've known Nunu due to all the blogs and videos about him and our hearts grieve with you.
We are thinking of you guys.
My deepest sympathies. I lost my cat two months ago and I know it hurts very badly. There's nothing I can say to make it better, but I'm sure you know there are lots of people who cared about Nunu who never even met her. I'm very sorry.
Oh God, Beth - I'm so sorry.
All three of you will be in my thoughts in the days to come.
My love to all of you -

Hi Guys, so sorry to hear of your loss. My kids gave our little chiweenie some extra hugs today. We're thinking of you.
It goes without saying that thousands of hearts are breaking for you and Jorge at this time. Even though you don't know us, we know you and we are all sending our heartfelt condolences. There are simply no words......
So very sorry... I know that pain well. Thank you so much for sharing her with us these past few months... :(
My heart aches... I am so sorry for your loss.
Beth, I offer you my sincerest condolences to both you and Jorge on the loss of Nunu.
So very sorry to learn this. Thoughts and prayers are with you. We loved her too.
:-(
Beth, it breaks my heart to hear this news. Our pets are like members of our families and it is so hard to give them up. Please know that you and Jorge are in my thoughts and prayers. Nunu was precious. I know you will miss her so.
I am so sorry about your loss of Nunu. I have a dog that looks very much like her and I've enjoyed reading your and Jorge's blogs about her. Thinking of you both.
I'm so sorry for you and Jorge both. I know how devastating the loss of a beloved pet can be, especially when they are more a family member than just a pet.
Six years ago I had to put my cat, Bubba James, down due to cancer. He was special... I took him into my heart more than any cat I had before him. It took me years to get over it. I'd sob at the drop of a hat.
My deepest sympathies to you both.

Beth, I am so sorry to have read this. Nunu was so adorable. When I was living on Oahu, I always wished me, my wife, and our chihuahua (Rudy) would come across you, Jorge, and Nunu around Lanikai or maybe Bark Park across from the studio. I could tell from your posts and pictures that you guys loved her very much. I'm so sorry for your loss. At least she was immortalized on film before leaving you, and her soul gets to remain in the most beautiful place on the planet. Next time I'm on the island and visit the Temple, I will ring the bell for her and bring her a treat.
Just remember dogs and cats have a great sense on who loves them. I'm sure she knew how loved she was and always will be. And if you believe one day you will see each other again. You and Jorge should remember that the home you give her was better than anyone else could do. And her time here was for a reason. Bless you all.

oh no!! im so sorry. this makes me really sad. i am so sorry for your loss. may nunu rest in peace.
Oh, this is heartbreaking :( I'm so sorry to hear this, so so sorry. She was loved, and will be missed.
OMG I am so sad. Having lost many pets over the years (old age mostly, thank god) I know how devastated you two must be. Through your blogs I feel like I knew her also.
I also am sorry that you are leaving and will not be able to visit her regularly. I will ring the bell for her and put a lei on her plaque for you once in a while.
Aloha and hugs....

Nunu belongs to the angels now. Our thoughts are with you...
my heart is breaking for you :'( i can't even imagine what you two must be going through right now. i will miss hearing all about her fun little quirks on your blog :( she was such a sweetheart.
Oh Beth.. I am so sorry for you and Jorge. This is just so terribly heartbreaking. My thoughts are with you.
This is so sad. I fell in love with her over these past months on your blogs and through your podcast. How terrible. My heart goes out to you.
So sorry!!! *HUGGGS*
I'm so sorry about Nunu, Beth. When I first started reading Jorge's blog, I'd go there for Lost related stuff, but I grew to like the Nunu posts just as much. She was such a cute dog, and I loved her enormous bat ears and spunky attitude. I was so sad to hear what happened. It must be so tough for you and Jorge to have to go through this on top of moving and all that. R.I.P. Nunu!
I'm very sad to hear this and am sorry for your loss.
Sleep well, Sweet Baby Nunu.
I am so sorry to hear that. :( Losing a pet, NAY, a FRIEND is hard. I wish you both all the best. R.I.P. Nunu!
I read this earlier on Jorges blog and it broke my heart. I am so sorry for your loss.
Rainbow Bridge
Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.
When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge.
There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together.
There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.
All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by.
The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.
They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent; His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.
You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.
Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....

This breaks my heart! I'm so so sorry, and I know all the sympathies in the world won't make it feel any better. I'll be sending happy energies your way, and know that little Nunu was a lucky puppy who was given the best life ever by two amazing people. {{hugs}}
I'm so, so sorry, for you and for Jorge. I've lost pets before, and it's always painful. It's clear that you both loved her with all of your hearts. My thoughts are with you.
I follow your blogs regularly; my mother and brother do so more sporadically, but the both of them were as upset by this news as I was. The point of that is that every fan who reads your blogs has held a spot for Nunu in their hearts, and will remember her with fondness, because of what you've shared with us. The memory of her, albeit what little we were fortunate enough to see, will remain alive in so many people.
I'm so sorry.
Losing a pet is incredibly painful.
Hugs to you and Jorge.
Angela
There's nothing clever to say... Me and my cats send our love to you guys.
I am so sorry for your loss x
Oh sweetheart i'm so very sorry to hear this awful news :'(
My love and thoughts are with you both and sending you big hugs!
xxxxxxx
That is soo sad. :(
I loved Nunu so much, although i didnt really knew her. But the videos and pics you and Jorge have posted over the years were so cute and lovely.
I cried a little tear out right now....
My thoughts are with both of you!
My heart breaks for both of you. I know how devestating the loss of a loved pet can be. I have four chihuahuas (21 at one point) and they are the most loving dogs I have ever known. Her spirit will be with you both and many prayers from around the world will surround you.
I am so sorry, Beth.
BEth - our family is very saddened by your and Jorge's loss. Thinking of you guys ♥
Beth, accept my condolences. She was good friend for all us...
I made one little video for Nunu
http://dispatchesfromtheme.blogspot.com/
say me please - when she was born?
Beth,I'm sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you and Jorge!
SK from Hong Kong:(
I am so sorry for your loss, Beth.
The loss of a pet is a huge, horrible thing. You and Jorge are in my thoughts and I hope you feel a little better every day.
**hugs**
So sorry for your loss.
Oh Beth, I am so sorry to hear this. I am so sad for you and Jorge.
Hugs~
That is just awful. So sorry for your loss. We all know how attached we get to our pets. They're part of our family and we grieve for them just like we would for a relative or friend. We'll say a prayer for you both. Peace.
I knew this was up yesterday (KB told me) but I held off until today to go read it because I didn't want to cry.
Yeah... waiting a day doesn't do much.
I'm glad we got to know her and love her with you guys. Thanks for sharing her with us. She'll be missed.
Beth, this makes me so sad. That picture of you two is so precious and full of love. I am truly sorry for your loss.
My heart breaks for the both of you. Losing a pet suddenly is so incredibly painful.
I'm so sorry. It really tells me how much I have become involved because I'm sitting her with tears in my eyes.
There are no words I can say to make it better.
about a year ago I did a google image search for "chiweenies" and one of the first results was a pic of Nunu and Jorge. I completely fell in love with her. Two weeks ago, on a whim (and in the midst of Lost finale fever/a slow work week) I googled "Jorge Garcia and Nunu" and discovered both your blogs (I'm ashamed I didn't know of them sooner). I actually spent this past Friday evening showing your Nunu pics to a Hawaii-bound friend. "If you see Hurley from Lost," I instructed, "ask to meet his dog." Needless to say I was completely aghast to read about Nunu's untimely passing and can't tell you how much my heart goes out to you both. When my family cat passed on a few years ago, I got a little memorial tattoo of him. I think you'd both look fantastic with Nunu tattoos...or maybe you could write a kid's book about her :) Best wishes to you both! xoxoxo
I am so very sorry. This has had such an effect on me since I read the post yesterday.
We had our beloved pet killed in December and the suddenness of it is sometimes overwhelming. To boot, your emotions are already all over the place from having to uproot from Hawaii and starting a new chapter of your life together.
I hope you both will find some peace. I know it will be hard to leave her but suspect she will have many visitors paying their respects and sharing love their love with her.
Thanks for all the wonderful pictures of her with funny little stories...and we'll always have her cameo from the show. :)
My heart goes out to you both.
Losing a pet is freaking awful. She was clearly a very special pup and will be waiting in the "church" for you and Jorge when it is time. Rest in peace, little Nunu.
I just read this today on your & Jorge's blogs, and it makes me so sad. My heart breaks a little for you both. So even though I am just another voice in the crowd, I wanted to add my condolences and send you both big virtual hugs. Peace.
Dear Beth - I saw Jorge's entry about NuNu last nite.I broke down and cried before I could finish reading it. I'm so very sorry for you both on her loss! She was just the sweetest little thing and I can't tell you how many times, I sat here with the biggest grin on my face reading his entries and watching the videos he posted of her. She brought so much joy and love to you both - and in turn to so many of us. I hold you both in my heart and in my prayers as you deal with her loss. Just know that she'll be remembered with love by us all.
Many hugs and love to you...((H))
I'm very sorry for your loss. Nunu has been on my mind since I read the sad news yesterday and when I looked at some pictures a few minutes ago, I actually had to cry a little. I followed Jorge's blog for quite some time and the pictures of Nunu were always my favorite part, she was so cute. My grandfather passed away when I was very young and my mom said to me at the time that death often comes unexpected and we have to appreciate every day we have with our loved ones. You loved Nunu, she loved you, and it seems you had so much fun together. It's sad that your time with her was shorter than expected, but the memories of her will stay with you forever.
I'm so saddened for both of you on the loss of your beloved Nunu. Losing a dog in a tragic way is a hard thing to cope with, I lost a dog a few years ago to a careless vet. There are pet bereavement websites that can offer you some solace in this time of grief, and the Rainbow Bridge is one of them. I have tears running down my face typing this to you guys, it's just so very very horrible and sad. Big Hugs to both of you. I do believe we will get to see them on the other side someday.
I'm at work and in total tears. I need to get home and kiss my dog!
This SUCKS so bad.
I am really sorry she died in Jorge's arms but I'm glad he and you were all there for her. It's what we all hope... to die in the arms of love.
I guess Nunu is forever a beautiful dream linked with the Islands.
Great dreams never last long enough... do they.
I hope healing energy flows quickly towards you both (and her extended family)
(((((((HUGS)))))))) Love and Prayers for you and Jorge.
My heart goes out to you. Pets are such special things in our lives and we got to know, through yours and Jorge's blog just how special Nunu was to you guys.
Just had to post here to tell you how so very sorry I am that Nunu is gone. It's so hard to lose a loved one and especially in such circumstances.
My heart goes out to both of you...
I am so sorry.
I am so, so sorry for your loss. My heart broke for both of you. You are such delightful people, and Nunu was so adorable. I am so sorry you have to endure this. Bless you both, and Nunu, too.
I'm so terribly sorry for your loss. My Zeke died horribly on Jan. 1, so I feel your pain. Nunu had a wonderful life and passed on in the arms of her Jorge, feeling his love, hearing his voice. Sometimes that's all we can hope for. Bless your hearts~losing your dear companion and your beloved home all at once. Sending love and healing thoughts. Play on in the sunshine, little Nunu. Play on.
No way is that fair. I am so sorry for your loss & just hate that this has happened to you. My heart goes out to you. Nunu was so very loved & had such a great life with you. I'm sorry it ended the way it did. Sending you healing thoughts.
Oh Beth - I am so sorry for you and Jorge both.
My heart aches for you both - as someone who has a precious pooch in her life I understand the special hold they have on our hearts.
Sending you both the biggest hugs imaginable.
Aww. Beth... I just feel so badly for you guys. It's heart wrenching to lose a pet, especially tragically. Nunu was special. I loved getting to know her through your blogs. You and Jorge take care of each other through this rough time.
I'm so sorry. it's soooooo painful. I lost ma dog a few days ago. I can feel your pain. I wish Nunu a good life in dogsheaven where the grass is always green and the sky fool of biscuits. Maybe she meets my dog Filou and they play together. Love Karen
I so very sorry. Just thinking about it makes me cry. Nunu was so precious! Who wouldn't love her?
I too, have lost a beloved pet so I know first hand what you are going through. I was devastated, I felt like a mother who lost a child because that was what he was like to me.
Trust me, the pain does get better in time. Little by little the pain gets easier to cope with. After I lost mine I couldn't mention his name without breaking down crying.
It took me almost a year to recover. Hopefully, you both recover a lot sooner than I did. I eventually got another dog a year later whom I love dearly as well.
I posted this song at Lostpedia for you guys: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aRCNZ8JALms.
The part that helped me was this:
"And maybe, I'll find out
A way to make it back someday
To-wards you, to guide you, through the darkest of your days
If a great wave shall fall yeah fall upon us all
Well then I hope there's someone out there
who can bring me back to you."
and especially this:
I know now, just quite how
My life and love might still go on
In your heart, in your mind I'll stay with you for all of time..
God bless you, you both such wonderful special people and us fans appreciate all you have done for us.
So sorry to hear this sad news Beth and Jorge. May the pain in your hearts grow less as the memories of Nunu live on. Thankyou for sharing her with us, we will miss her too. With love and best wishes from Australia xx
Thanks so much to everyone. Jorge and I are just trying to get through each day. Leaving Hawaii today was rough, but we're being nicely distracted with stupid TV like "Toddlers and Tiaras".
You are both in my prayers. It is awful to when a family member passes on. The furry little ones really work their way into your hearts!
You and Jorge are both in my prayers. Losing a pet is such heart ache. Our cat passed friday and the news of Nunu's passing is bringing fresh tears to my eyes. I am so sorry!
I'm so sorry. Losing a furry family member is always difficult.
I am so sorry. I am crying with you. Thank you and Jorge for sharing so much laughter with us through your blogs and now we will share your sorrow.
Beth, I am so sorry to hear this horrible news. I just read it now. Nunu seemed like such a special little guy. I am sure Nunu knew how much you guys loved her. I am sending healing vibes to you and Jorge.
I´m much more sensitive with animals since I have my cat.You get to love them a lot. It´s a pity and I feel so sorry for you and Jorge. A hug...from the heart
Hello, I am SO sorry for you both, I have lost quite a few pets in my time, several in my arms too. I can imagine your grief, I have been there. It is awful!
You have an international "family" that have grown to care for you both very deeply, and for many of us, Nunu's loss is almost ours too. From these notes, I can see how much Nunu meant to so many strangers. Blessings to you both, and hopefully, someday, the pain will lessen and you can smile again.
hey, we stopped by valley of the temples today to see nunu...but weren't sure which one was hers? There were two i thought it could possibly be. Either way, such a beautiful place to rest.
The first comment on here by Scott says exactly what i want to say!
When I read that this had happened i found my self crying and I thought, "What the heck, i don't even know these people" but liek he said, thru your podcast and your blogs i feel like you guys are friends. And it looks like there are a alot of others that feel that way too!
Hope you are adjusting to being state side.
i hate to bring back sad memories but i just started reading your and Jorge's blogs a few days ago and this post broke my heart. I am so sorry about Nunu. but Smidge and Pip are so cute :)
