Gorgeous dog, doc. I'm really very sorry for you, but it sounds like she's had, and is still having, a great life. I hope that continues as long as possible.

thanks, guys.

i picked out a pet cemetery - I know, morbid. But the story behind the pet cemetery is pretty neat. It is out in Hazelwood and fell into disrepair years ago. Got overgrown. People who had buried their pets there came together and invested in it, bought it and pay to keep it up. It's only $200 or so. Stuff like wondering what to do burdens me, and finding this place makes me feel better.

My parents and I planted a tree in their backyard in a place our dog liked to lay and buried her ashes under it. They aren't just animals; they're family members.
