MP3: Ted Gärdestad - Jag skall fånga en ängel

Atrap.com/special/roo.jpg"/>

Roo, rest in peace little girl. I miss you like hell, but I'm glad you waited for me to come home.

It was not wholly unexpected, but there's only so much preparAtion you can really do. Back in the fall of 2006, Roo was diagnosed with the brain disease hydrocephalus and the prognosis was not good. By the time we got her MRI'd she had maybe 20% of her greymAtter left, so it was amazing she was even alive, let alone a loving, breAthing, charming little sweet-nAtured dog. Her mobility gradually decreased over our time with her, but she never ever lost her sunny disposition until Sunday night when she went into a grand mal seizure and never fully recovered. We said our last goodbyes yesterday afternoon.

I know this is kind of a corny song to post, but she was an angel to me and she far outlived all expectAtions. I treasure every moment we shared.
