RIP Rusty the shed dog

[Glenn_M]

Big thanks to you fine forum folk.

I'm doing better than I thought. Just remember the funny things she did. She really was a strange dog. But she was well loved and looked after and she had a good, long life and died with dignity.

I'm going to make a box for her ashes. One last project in the shed together.

Thanks All

Glenn

Sounds like a good life was led by your mate Glenn, and she had a loyal family.

Glad to hear you're doing ok and great idea to make a box for her ashes. When my last dog died I spent a couple of days digging the hole [in very hard rocky soil] then making a garden around his grave. It was very healing for me.

Glenn, from my family to yours I am sorry to hear about your loss. Its one of the hardest things we go through as pet owners when we lose a valued member of your family. We lost one last December when my red cattle Aussie shephard cross decided to take on a brown snake here at home. it was one of the worst days I have had for a long time and I don't know if I will ever get over her loss. I will toast their memories tonight when i crack a home brew or 2.

They are always in your memory.

its sad to lose a good mate ,thats the trouble with pets you get to love them ,and lose them too soon . although you wont replace them, the local shelter has some that need a chance to charm you too , its worked for me they really run our place . and we love every minute of it . best wishes bob

Glen, I love your though about making a "casket'. I share your loss and know how you feel. My Sebastian (opposite) is my constant companion and loves to lift his leg on the Triton dust bag. But he's 9 and limps now on his "gammy" leg but I'm hoping he sticks around for some years more.

Thinking of you.

Truly sorry to hear of your mates departure. We've (more accurately my wife) has had dogs forever. They do get to you in funny ways. Most of ours like to be where one of us is - any usually right on top of what your doing.
Such as the roofing your cutting, the leaves your sweeping etc etc.
I'll raise a glass tonight also to a no questions asked member of the family.
