I'm feeling down, and wanted to vent, and I felt like you folks would understand.
My parents are leaving Texas for Oklahoma today, having closed on their home in the country. It was supposed to be their "forever" home, so they are understandably upset; therefore, I haven't wanted to burden them with something that upsets me. I have no attachment to the house, since they moved there when I was in college; however, in 1996 our pomeranian Rusti died, and she was buried on their property. She had a little grave and plaque and everything.
My parents and I had talked briefly about Rusti's grave and briefly entertained the idea of transporting her body. However, it didn't seem like a sanitary thing to do, and it would have been further complicated by the fact that they don't presently have a new home to move into (they will be living with my grandmother until they can find another home).
I don't know what could have been done--and we haven't even had the luxury of burying most of our pets ourselves--but I feel really, really sad about leaving her there. I'm hoping that by sharing this with other dog lovers, I might be made to feel a little better.
Thanks,
S
