Wonderful tribute, beautifully written. Thank you for sharing and making us discover this wonderful Sheltie that grew up with you. In January, my family had to put down the Beagle we got when I was also 8 years old. Your story vibrantly reminded me of all the great things I shared with her in those 15 years we spent together.
I'm sending you good thoughts for your loss and I just know that your Jasmine will be entertaining my sweet beagle in the sky all the while watching over you until you meet again!
