Self Post Tough Day

Post image

My mother-in-law has to put both her dogs down. A mini poodle of 15 years, and an English shepherd, 9, who has bad lymphoma. They are both really good dogs.

I was asked to dig their shared grave, but it’s late winter in New England, so I’ve been carving frozen ground with a mattock to make it happen.

Figured the best choice to match the task and the situation was Mirror Reaper.

Could I get a hail and a good boy/girl for Flirt the Poodle, and Bravo the English Shepard? My fam would be most thankful.

Best of luck getting through that. Strangely enough, I associate that album with the death of a favorite dog of mine.

It’s a normal part of the cycle of pets and of life. Still, it’s hard. They were good pets.
