The only problem is that you'll have to be sure to "remember" to move it.

I like that Detail could see out the window. Oh, the pets... how do we love them so? This post was beautiful, Suzanne. It made me laugh and cry and pick up my baby Eli (the cat) and hug him tight. He just purrs. And I still miss Annie, my old Newf. The get into our hearts, don't they? No, you are absolutely not disrespecting Detail with a candle-- it's gotta be better than the garage, and I love the reservoir plan. Beautiful. Just beautiful.Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17311285554393645158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7061321.post-1114525175026690392005-04-26T10:19:00.000-04:002005-04-26T10:19:00.000-04:00I have to say that I didn't even think about the l...I have to say that I didn't even think about the legality of burying Cowboy in my in-laws back yard two weeks ago.

The boy does. Leave the candle aside the box, and it will still serve the purpose.<BR/><BR/>I have a friend who's dog just after Thanksgiving one year. They got the ashes back in mid December... and carefully placed them on the mantel. Several months later, her sons could not find the ashes anywhere. They searched high and low. <BR/><BR/>The next xmas, as they upacked their holiday decorations, they found the dog's ashes packed along with the lights and stockings:<BR/><BR/>"Look! (Our dog) has come to spend xmas with us!" <BR/><BR/>And so, since that time, their dog "come to visit" at the holidays.<BR/><BR/>The one dog we managed to get ashes for lives on a shelf in our living room. When my husband dies and is cremated, his ashes and his favorites dogs will be mixed together.Debrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07504185070473121551noreply@blogger.com
