Death and Visiting Pets



This was a really sad and strange weekend. My husband's step-mother died last week. The visitation was Thursday and the graveside funeral was Friday. She was old and sick, but as the minister said, "Another spoke from my memory wheel is gone." What a neat way to put it. You send flowers, visit with family members and friends that you don't normally see, and relive old memories. That's what we did this weekend.

With all the visitors, we also had some pet visitors (see the picture above). A black and white cat named Abe, a cute little peek-a-poo named Cierra Dolce, and a Pomeranian puppy named Bubby graced us with their presence. It is amaizng how person-like some animals can be. Abe sat in that same position for a long time, just like he was part of the conversation flowing around him. The little Peek-a-Poo kept getting her blanket and pacifier (I think she has over 20) to make sure that the others didn't get them. The puppies that came by seemed the most normal, but they too were carried around just like little babies.

People have truly gone pet crazy! We have four dogs, seven cats, and assorted goldfish ourselves. Thankfully, half the dogs and most of the cats are outside or I'd have to call us a zoo! Below is a site that gives you tips to allow you to take your small dog ANYWHERE. Just what is the world coming to?
