Planting the pups

We have been carrying the ashes of our dearly departed first dogs – Cha-Cha and Grace – around with us on our travels for over a year. Jett says we had to keep them with us until we achieved our 48-state goal, but mostly it was because we never got around to finding a place to bury them. But last Saturday we put them in their final resting place in Uncle Ray’s (that’s what they called him) yard at the cottage in New Salem MA. This was the perfect place for them as they loved the cottage. It was one of the few places where they were allowed to run free.

It was sad, of course. Jett shed a few tears. But it is the perfect place for them. Their ashes won’t be traveling with us any more but their memories will be with us forever.
