    The Best of It: Astrid’s Best Life Edition

    Note: On January 5th, our dog Astrid unexpectedly suffered a grand mal seizure. Despite imaging, testing, and medical interventions from our vet, her health continued to decline rapidly. On January 15th, the good folks at Lap of Love helped her cross the rainbow bridge at home, wrapped in blankets, and with us holding her. I am grateful that she was able to have a good life and a good death.

    1. Little Debbie Oatmeal Cream Pies, Arby’s sliders, and canned tuna.
    2. Zoomies around the yard, at the farm, or at the cabin.
    3. Rolling in dirt, mud, and raccoon poop. (Even if the humans were unhappy about it.)
    4. Blankets and stuffed animals.
    5. Sunbeams.
