Pet Cemetery


Who among dog and cat owners wouldn't like a peaceful resting place nearby for their deceased furry family members?

I visited this backyard pet cemetery yesterday, sheltered beneath shade trees and filled with flowers and greenery. The boy-and-his-dog statue just set the mood for remembering loyal companions that have passed on.

Note the large sandstone tombstones. They are foundation stones recovered from old homesteads.

OH! What a great idea to use stones from old homesteads!

I used to think pet cemeteries were over the top, but not anymore. They're wonderful for those who have lost loving members of their family.

Great idea. WE have a pet cemetery here in PC and I keep telling myself that I need to go and take a couple of shots.

Pets are so much like people that it is hard for me to go into such a place. We have 5 dogs buried in our back yard so we are always around them in spirit at least.
