I never got to say goodbye...posted Feb 1st 2005, 1:41PM

I got home half an hour ago, and I saw mom and dad had just come home as well. I cheerfully greeted them, asking if they had come home. Mom looked at me with a grave expression and said "yes, we've just delivered Astra to the vet." and I felt a horrible cold seize my gut.
For over a month, my eldest dog Astra has been suffering from bronchitis. She's been unable to breathe properly and the medication she got has apparently not been working well either.
Mom then told me that through the night, things had gotten all too bad for her. She had been struggling to breathe all night, and today she could only walk a few steps before she had to sit down to catch her breath. Mom then decided that she didn't want Astra to suffer anymore.
So today, February 1st 2005, around 3 pm, my oldest dog Astra was put to sleep and cremated. She managed to become 12 years and 9 months old. She would have turned 13 this may.
I never even got to say goodbye... and I promised to myself that I would have. Mom told me I did tell her goodnight last night, but.. its just not the same...
Goodbye Astra... I love you girl.. I love you so much... Say hi to Nicki from me.
