My heart broke that day.

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.

Disguised as fentanyl

Justice in soooo many ways.

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!

Kinda see it.
Elmo the cat used to love sleeping beside Sonya the Black lab.
That is Sonya,s marker
Elmo is right next to her.
Both are facing each other heads to the North Star.

Our 1st Dog and Cat as a married couple long ago.

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.

Damn cool thread Rene. Thanks to all that have contributed.

If you ever get a chance visit the coon dog cemetery in Northwest AL

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.

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.

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

It,s cool you sent me the PM.
That got me to think about starting a thread.

Lotta members posting some righteous respectful stuff about their loved and remembered pets.

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Have always enjoyed threads about your dogs.

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.
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Petey got the city dump.
