RIP Neal

[rootofnewt]

My parents lost their second scottie last night.

Neal had the best life ever with them. His combination of health problems would have led other owners to euthanasia years ago, but my parents took him in from a breed rescue and have loved him all these years. The time finally came. Liver and kidney failure are just not good things and he was an old dog.

I have that shirt for Ronan. :) Love it, but irritated that it already pulled a shoulder seam.
