Nice to see what others do for their pets/ family members. Pets are family members and loved greatly.
They burn bright. Then our hearts hurt. And they deserve honor. 👍🏻

Just random blocks and peach trees here. I could dig up a big slab from the creek and place it on my previous lab I wish I woulda met Jules. From what you have told me of him he was a Rock Star. Your beagle the couple of times I met him 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Ticks me off to this day his circumstances of dying. And discovering more about it that day I drove home. 😡😡😡 But in ways karma hit back hard and then yrs later again IMO.... Karma returned Disguised as fentanyl

Iv buried 3 dogs at my old house, one was just his ashs as it was winter when he past on. It hard to do, they just don't last long enough. A few years ago was out in the woods scouting deer, I sat down on a log to take a break, happand to see a flat rock. I cleaned it off and very faint Goldie, and 1978, this was aways off the road. I think must have been a bird dog as it's an old cut over area. Been back that way a couple of times, and always stop by and say hi!
Deer Camp! about as good as it gets!

My great uncle raised beagles and coon hounds for most of his life in PENN. When he started in the late 1950s, he would take an old or sick dog to the vet to be put to sleep when it was time. They used gas back then and one day the vet asked him if he would like to watch how it was done. He said the dogs died slowly and he never took one after that. He had a fair amount of wooded property and he had a pet cemetery as he called it. He told me after watching the dogs die from the gas, that a 22 revolver was more humane and respectful

...some wonderful handmade grave markers here--thanks for posting. My beautiful orange and white setter Scarlet died suddenly at age nine in 2015....first time we have lived where we could dig a grave on our own land for one of ours. I found a big chunk of white quartz with golden stripes, that is her grave marker. Later I planted white daffodils on the grave. The site is on the edge of the woods frequented by ruffed grouse.
For frozen ground, old-time cemeteries used to build a fire on the spot to thaw it enough to dig.

Most people don't really want the truth.
They just want constant reassurance that what they believe is the truth.

Most of ours are in the Pacific, where their ashes were scattered.
We were always moving. Couple of cats buried where we lived in the desert, cats aren't known as ocean lovers.
Juniper tree out back is Katie's tree as she always made sure to explore and mark there when the wife had her off leash out back here.
We have two boxes of ashes that need to be taken on a trip to the coast when the weather clears. The Pacific needs some more of our dogs.
The desert is a true treasure for him who seeks refuge from men and the evil of men. In it is contentment In it is death and all you seek (Quoted from "The Bleeding of the Stone" Ibrahim Al-Koni)

Damn cool thread Rene. Thanks to all that have contributed. Duckhunter is the one that made me think of it via a PM he sent me asking about the Callie stone in the sewer pipe thread. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

That goes for everyone also. May not get along with some on here at times myself. And vice versa But when a person loses a pet . I will post regrets or sorrows for their loss. We all know what the loss feels like. It's a commonality thing that erase,s whatever for the moment and say something respectful to show some sort of bridge. Don't know how to really put it other than that way..

“Surely, even as you lie dead in the ground I deem the wild beasts yet fear your white bones, huntress RUFF and your great valor Everyone knows, and splendid Tonya and the lonely peaks of The Twin buttes Their is alot of ancient society poetry and verse about their dogs. Have Google fu,d it and read alot of it a couple of years ago. When Cookie died. It is good stuff and ties in right up to the present with man's feelings about his dogs. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
