My grandson, Scout (age 4) saying his last goodbye to his dog, Asta (age 16), this morning.
What a tremendous and impactful life this dog has had and the hours of unconditional love and pleasure she has given to Scout's family, his brothers and his grandparents.
She's been very ill of late and most body functions failing. As I write this, she has about 45 mins left with the family and I'm profoundly and deeply sad ... she was a great friend to me as well as to them. It's like losing a child ...
Dogs would make good people and maybe they should be in charge ...
RIP, Asta, you've been loved for all these years and will not be forgotten.
