Rest in Peace my dear sweet old dog.

You came into our lives at a time when we didn’t have much, and certainly not the means to take on a third dog.  But we couldn’t let you roam the streets of Austin so we took you in, with the idea that we would find you a home.  Of course you found a home, with us.  Because we couldn’t let you go.  I’m not sure if you were part coyote or part wolf, but we knew you were one or the other.  You were smart, loyal, and so thankful to have a home.  And we were thankful for you.

Thank you for 17 good years.  Please find Bailey, Duke, Spike, and Muffin up there and give them our love.  Well maybe not Muffin.  He might bite you.

I will miss you Astro-  my heart is breaking tonight.

RIP Astro- You were much loved

We will scatter your ashes at the farm- the place you loved to run.

Goodbye good friend.

    So sorry. One of the hardest days in our lives was the time we said goodbye to our 17 year old friend. He was a gift to me at the age of 14. He left me when i was 31. Needless to say he shared many ups and downs of life with me. You gave sweet Astro a better life, remember that.

  14. Kathy T | 8th Jan 10

  21. Funnelcloud Rachel | 8th Jan 10

    So sorry. It’s a beautiful photo, though. What an amazingly long life (yet also too short) – I’m sure there’s a very good reason he lived to be 17.

    I’m so sorry for your loss. I’m sure Astro meant a great deal to you, and I know you will miss him alot. I offer my sympathy and understanding.

  24. Sara Mangan | 9th Jan 10

    What a sad day for you. I have never understood why dogs can’t live as long as we do.
    How lucky Astro was to have found a family like yours. Take care.

  25. kathy | 9th Jan 10

    I like the thought of him playing with Duke. Hugs to you all.

    Oh Elisa, I’m so sorry….
    When we lost Safi, a coworker gave me the book, Dog Heaven by Cynthia Rylant – it was meant for Connor, but it helped me, too….
    do you have it?
    I’m thinking of you guys.
