Banner Burgin, therapy dog and canine coach, passed away on Saturday, August 30. She died like we’d all like to—she was happy and taking old-dog walks on Tuesday, but collapsed on Wednesday. Thursday and Friday, she welcomed visitors who came to sit on the floor with her, touching her, and telling her repeatedly how good she was. The last part to slow down continued to wag every hour or so. Then, this morning we said goodbye.
In October her ashes will blow down the beach at Oysterville with the same happy, frantic, random purpose in which she used to run.
