From the many photos and postings on his blog, Nunu looked to weigh not more than 5 pounds. He writes about "Nunu, the Greatest":

"We are burying her in the Pet Garden at Valley of the Temples in Kaneohe. Nunu hated the water so we couldn't bring ourselves to having her ashes scattered in the ocean. Three months from now, you'll be able to find a bronze plaque inscribed with just her name there. If you'd like to leave a flower or a toy, I'm sure she'd love it."

Now where's that box of tissue?
