GOLDEN RETRIEVER SCOTTY VS SIGUR RÓS

After having said good-bye to his same-age partner Chola 5 years ago (see older posts), my dearest golden retriever Scotty lost her 22-month-old great-grand-daughter Clara on February 25 this year. That was a real shock for him and my family and friends. And now, 4 months later, when he looked so fine, a pulmonary edema, whose cause we won't be able to know, took his life in a few hours while he was being sedated to be X-rayed. An annus horribilis this has been. We buried him in the garden next to his family this time last Wednesday. This post is dedicated to him.

Sigur Rós' Með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust album contains some songs he enjoyed when he wanted to relax while we were in my home library. The green woodland the video features reminds me perfectly of all the long walks we took every day.

The picture, where you can see him sitting on the library floor was taken 9 days before his death.
