Granny's gone and done it again

How many square feet do you have there?

Ive been taking one all day.

Not me. First dogs..then on the phone for a while. Finally. I got things straightened out. I will be getting her ashes. Whew. Thought I would say something since I brought it up yesterday. Going to spread her ashes in-between my mother and grandmother's graves..they are side by side. No funeral. Like I said. Long story short. Just happy that she isn't in pain any longer. Diabetes got the best of her. Her poor little body is at peace now. Still, being the oldest I thought I wouldn't have to go through these deaths. That's two sisters now. Three years in a row losing a loved one. It can stop for a while now.

What if it keeps her from throwing herself off the gurney? Or kicking the doctor in the face? They surely had some good reason for it. They had to restrain my dad after his back surgeries, he does NOT recover from anesthesia well. At all. Did not, I should say.

why would I throw myself off the bed? I was having a baby not a fighting ring. There was no reason for them to do that to me. I wasnt under anesthesia ,Im not crazy so why?

Im sorry for your loses . Glad you finally got things strait with them and will get her ashes. I buried my SF ashes in the back and put a tree over them.

I hear ya, Cynthia. When we got the 5 cattle dogs I didn't think in a million years we would lose one when they were just barely 2 years old. It's painful.

When my mom's dog died, I had him cremated and called the cemetery where she is buried and asked them if they would mind if I buried his ashes on her grave. They told me technically they had to say, it was against the rules but they were only there till 5PM and hey, they didn't care what happened after they left, wink wink.

So I went out at 7PM with a little garden trowel, peeled back the sod at the foot of her grave, poured the ashes into it, filled in as much dirt as I could, threw the rest around so it blended in with the grass and replaced and watered the sod. Easy peasy.

How did you lose your dog Becky?

I hope you get a break from that too! It does go in waves sometimes. I have had two uncles and an Aunt die over that past two years.

I think I can set things straight here. Granny had said she was taking a break. I meant I wasn't. I had taken my dogs to the groomer today and that I was on the phone with a funeral parlor about my sister. So, not taking a break..until now! . But, I hear you! I've got 4 dog's remains here at home. It's so hard to lose a pet you've had for a while. One girl I had gotten from a rescue knowing she was old. Little Abbey was only with us for a year, but man that was tough. It's going to be hard if I out live these two here now. It's so weird when they are gone for grooming and I'm sitting here alone! When I die, I want their little cute boxes at the foot of my casket. Now, glad you mentioned the folks saying it was against the rules! I thought maybe. I may have to go in later with my sister's to put her in between mom's and grandma's graves. Really would like her to be there. But, on the other hand, it isn't a dog. If they say no, I know of a beautiful place in one of our favorite canyons.
