I am so sorry that your Aunt has to go through this. I wish I could kiss her on the nose and let her know my sincere sympothies. I love you all and will always be here for you in good times and the bad....

Gus said...

Dear Asta, Mommi, Aunt Karen and Daddy. We are keeping you all in our thoughts and prayers, and we agree with the others who have said that Asta is a great medicine for all of you to have at hand. Time for the little girl to be a strong and beautiful lady, so that people can tell her the secrets their hearts can't hold any longer. Dogs are the best medicine humans can have at time like this. Work your magic darling, we will be here to support you when you need us.

lots and lots of gussie kisses

Toffee said...

Asta & Asta's mommi -
We are so, so sorry to hear this sad news. I wish there were something I could do to bring him back for your aunt Karen. I have no doubt that Ed is still with you in spirit. My mom has always loved this poem and hopes that you find some comfort in it:

Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there; I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow,
I am the sun on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there; I did not die.
(author anonymous however attributed to Martha Frye)

sending you chihueagle cuddles and hugs.
Toffee & Riley
