The Dems have gone to the dog-(shit)

...the second one made me laugh...that's probably what Tote's Dobes look like to him at times.
 
Ha...the mask is built in, but I think all large breed owners know that look.
 
...^^^Tote, speaking of larger breeds, we just had to bury the second of 2 Weimaraners belonging to our niece and her husband. They died within 5-6 months of each other and both died of some weird cancer even though they were only 8 years old.. These huge tumors started growing on their necks/ribs/throats. Leslie and Josh live in Warner Robins with nowhere feasible place to bury them and since we have about 35-40 acres or so they had us bury the latest one right next to the other one last Saturday. Both were very large and heavy, weighing about 100 pounds each. So each was put into one of those large plastic storage containers you but at Home Depot. Each also now has their own little hand painted "headstone" made from slabs of local flint.
...neither any of us nor the vets knows what caused the growths but it was discovered awhile back that a doggie threat they had always been given was made in China...and you just know they don't care what sort of things go into their products...but again, we don't really know for sure.
...luckily, we have a backhoe which made for quick digging of the hole...but still. it was a very somber day around here....amazing how emotionally attached we get to out pets...it really is like losing a family member.
 
Dogs are not pets they are family. When compliments are passed to "pet parents" on their dogs you can see appreciation for said compliment come out. My Beagle turned 11 this month and though we keep him up tip top I'd figure him good for 3 or 4 more years. My significant other and I are animal lover in general dogs in particular. Dogs just never cease to amaze

It saddens me to hear this news, sorry for your Families loss, dogs are as hard to say goodbye too, sometimes more than Humans...

...^^^

Amen, same here.....

"Our dogs are as much our Kids"..... Human-like souls, in a Canine's body, ....!
 
In my home, we cremate our pets and our wills specify all our ashes will be combined and spread to the 4 winds.

Last act with my dad was to tuck the urn of his beloved "Babe" (his golden retreiver) under his arm before closing his casket.
 
...my Brother keeps the ashes of his last 2 pets on his mantle, with their collars around the little urns.

That's exactly what we did with My Mom 2 yrs ago, (lost her on Mother's Day of all days).....she and her Scottish Terrier are together in the Pine Forests overlooking this desert shit hole, my Dad will be buried with His Dogs cremated ashes, so will My Wife be cremated, and I'll place her ashes, along with our last GSD's ashes; at 10,000 ft elevation in the Hi-Sierra Nevada Mountains overlooking her favorite fishing hole......North Lake....near Sabrina...!

What about you Rob? Ashes???
Click to expand...

definitely ashes,....

I once wanted my ashes tossed onto Old Yankee Stadium's field, but changed my mind once the new park was built...

My Brother's wishes were to be buried, and I've seen one too many embalmed bodies, which don't settle well with me, its damn near barbaric in sorts, desecration of a loved one's remains, at the least.....IMHO...but that's not worth 3 cents....ie my OP.
 
...personally, when I want to remember someone who has passed I don't feel the need to visit them at some cemetery, which IMO, always seemed like a waste of perfectly good real estate. My minds eye can always easily summon "mental movies" of the individual whenever I like, and I've always felt that as long as a person is remembered, they're not really "gone".

....for me, cremation...no words, no flowers, no service.

...funerals, in my experiences, have for the most part, been very inaccurate and less than honest accounts of the lives of the decedents...I don't want to somehow be idealized when I'm dead and made into something that I was not.

Cremation for me also. Death IMO should be a celebration of the life that was & not for what will no longer be. I'll leave a $100.00 bill at my favorite watering hole, raise your glasses & have a drink on me.
 
Hey Ron...but I have Grace Cloud lined up for your eulogy.
 
^^^Hell I was going to see if I could get the honorable Reverend All Sharpton.

It IS a waste of good real estate IMO. In fact, last year we lived within 4 visual miles from the grove of tree's at the foothills; where the Cemetery He is buried in. Saw that grove every freaking day I walked out my back door, or looked out our bedroom window, and the general feeling was: "I can't get it out of my head, my old world is gone for dead".....

(In this desert if one is outside of town, with no visual blockage, one can see for approximately 45-60 miles out, on a clear day. Atop a hill or Mt. One can see forever).....

GC was a mod overseeing the downfall of the old ESPN boards. They hired a mod service consisting of the most hyper-offended twats & dweebs. GC was an unabashed bull dyke that was responsible for banning and perma-banning anyone that played whack-a-troll and then later anyone that basically challenged another poster on the content of their post. It was an environment of extreme diversity and tolerance, so much so that the boards morphed into "my space" say any stupid shit without responsibility for what you say as long as the mods found it non-offensive. Thus those boards died within 18 months as regulars migrated to various places...usually along clique lines.
 
I was on the ESPN boards briefly so I guess that's why I don't remember her.
