KG4:
Sorry to hear about your loss.
Animals have been part of our family forever.
Simply, they ARE part of the family. We have a whole cemetery on the front side of the house. Has family fish, birds, cats, dogs, guinea pigs, hamsters, and more, all with rock markers. I even went so far as to bury our two dogs certain ways. One always watched over the property (50 acres on a hill top) and really took care of things. I buried him with his head facing the field he use to protect. The other
was more the mother type, always following the humans wherever they were, inside or out. Buried her facing the house she loved so much. I could go on..... brings tears to my eyes. We also lost a cat to cancer. Funny, too, when you have a fight with your spouse or something is just not going well, those animals know that and sometimes through their actions, well, they would help make things work out... know what I mean.
Have two dogs now, two cats, all inside and sleeps on the beds with us or the kids. They think they are human.
Have a whole community we feed at night out on the deck with coons and possum. Take 50+ vanilla wafers each night and put peanut butter on top and lay it out on a tray with a side dish of dog food for the community feeding.
By the way, all our animals we've ever had were strays, or they found us by wandering up needing help.
I'm sorry about your loss.
Rick
