You’re a very good writer, Sam. It takes me back to that dreaded final day of my last two dogs. The current dog is 12 and maybe has another year. The best honor you can give Murphy is another dog.

Thank you! Yes, I'm sure we will have another dog some day. But we still have Beebe the Brave, my livestock guardian. As an "extra-large dog", her vet expenses are fairly hefty when required so I'm mindful of taking on too much. She's only 5 though, so hopefully I'm on better financial footing by the time she starts to go downhill.πŸ™

Ugh, I'm so sorry Sam. πŸ˜ͺ Coincidentally, I read this on the day that my Mojo girl took her last breath, 11 years ago. Mother's Day 😐 I love that you have the farm so you could bury him. I wish I owned a home where I could do that. How beautiful.

My husband buried one of our dogs at her favorite river overlook. He hiked up to the spot with her in a backpack. The rocks piled on her grave are now covered with cushion moss.
