Saying goodbye…

Saturday morning we said goodbye to our beloved dog Dusty.
Dusty was a Scottish Collie and more than thirteen years with us.

When we came to Africa seven years ago, he came with us and although he was almost blind, he adapted well to his new life here on the lodge. With an age of over thirteen years old he was very old and the last year he slept most of the day. But he was still healthy and didn’t have any pain. He regularly came to me for a cuddle and ate all the crumbs that our children dropped. Saturday morning he quietly died.

We buried him on a nice place on our property, next to Laska, our other Collie that died over six years ago.

Although we have another dog, Willow, a White Shepard of five years old, it is empty here in the office. I regularly look to the place where Dusty always lay.

Goodbye dear friend, we miss you.
