We had to put one of our two down this Spring. My son, then 17, said he wanted to come with me then later that he didn't. I let him know either was fine and that he should do what he knew he needed to do. Truthfully I felt it would he healthy and healing for him to come but at that age they need to begin to make their own calls. As I was leaving with our dear dog he said, Hang on dad. I'm coming.
We cried together as watched her go. It was good to be together on many levels.
That is very sweet, Will. A beautiful reminder for you whenever you're outside, whenever you come home. And so good for the boys to be involved with it.
A good way to honor Rocky! When our dog died we planted a tree in his honor in the front yard.....The kids are grown now, but they still comment on it. Good Choice!
I have adopted two boys from Haiti. Both are mentally handicapped. One is is now 20, the other 18. I divorced my wife of 28 years a few years ago and have just remarried, a woman from Belize. I find beauty in many things... many, many things (nature, art, people, space...) and that helps me to survive my deep empathy for so many who suffer. I like to write, and I've written quite a bit on my blogs. I have been thinking about writing a book. Unsure if it should be about the things I have experienced, or fiction (I have an interesting plot line worked out). I'm pretty open about things. I like blended whiskey, but I never have more than two drinks... usually just one, and not often at that. I have had many adventures. Makes me a little different. (Odd?)

That is so tender. What a lovely tribute to your puppy love.
I was sorry to hear about your sad loss.

Thanks.
They miss the dog, and I wanted to help them mark him some how...
"Hey guys... let's go to the farm & Garden store and buy some flower bulbs, or a plant or something to remember Rocky by."
When I saw the weather vane...
I wish she saw in them what I see...
I wish she saw in them what I see...
I do too.
God sees even more than you see in them!
This is I really dread.Iam so attatched to my Sheeba that sometimes I get nightmares of her dying. My Jimmy dies last year and I cry for him.
Sheeba is 7 years and I get nervous the moment she is not looking too good.
The weather wane looks so good.
I am so sorry to hear about Rocky's passing...
Getting the weather vane and dog statue is GREAT idea- it helps your boys and you with the loss.
Blessings
