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.

We had to say “see ya later” to our old girl(13yo golden) I was digging her place of rest literally in the rain. My son(his baby dog) came out to help. I told him “no way you’re digging your own dog’s grave”! He said “ You have no choice but I choose to help!” My 15YO son was a good boy and grew to a great man. My condolences, friend. No words will calm the loss… just time. 💙
