goodbye, beastly

I meant to write about this earlier and . . . got distracted, I guess, which was good.

My parents had to put Sunny the 15 1/2-year-old Labrador to sleep at the end of April. Considering that when she was 12 we were pretty certain she was not going to make it to 13, I think she had a pretty good run, even if she did get pretty warty at the end. I called her Beastly with great fondness for the last couple of years there, and was certain every time I saw her that it was going to be the last time . . . for about eight or ten visits. Gotta love her.
