Bean was only 23 pounds but because of the coffin we had to dig it a certain way. Of course, I live in Maryland, so we have all these rules about how deep it had to be. We actually had a plot for him in a doggie part of a people cemetery but when he died I just couldn’t part with him. It was my intention to dig him up and put him in his permanent grave when and if we moved or when I died. I have since changed my mind and he is where he is forever. Don’t know what I was thinking. He was almost 15 at the time so it was a tough thing.
I had t re-dig the hole a couple times. It was in my backyard. I couldn’t part with him, every time I saw him. I wanted to keep holding him. Even though he was lifeless and stiff.
I didn’t put him in a doggie coffin. I wrapped him in a quilt, so the dimension could be generous. I just moved here, I plan to be here awhile, even though it is CT.
You said in Maryland you have rules. I never thought there were such rules. I wanted to bury him before the end of the day. I hope my Benji is at peace. He wanted nothing but love from me.
