Gardens and Grief

My mom has been sad this past week. A friend died. I've been giving her lots of kisses to cheer her up and I tried to tell her the friend's doggies would be waiting at the Rainbow Bridge but my mom was still sad.

This is part of my mom's garden. It's my favorite place to bury things. Well, it was. But she put up this little fence to keep me out.
It's just not fair! No other place is as good to dig in! And sometimes I lean over to eat some of the plants a bit. But mostly I figure it's just one more strange human way of doing things. And she's a pretty good mom so--for now anyway--I stay out.

We're sorry that you rmom has been so sad, but it's hard to lose a friend. Please make sure to give her lots of cuddles (and very little "grief") Sophy.

Dear Sophy, Well we are very very sorry to hear about April being so sad. This is making us shake our heads a good deal. We know that even crosting our paws at this point will not help, but we will anyway. Also, we are also upset about the garden situashon but maybe April is just making bad decishons due to her being upset. We send you doggy hugs, Love, your PaLs, LuLu and LoLLy

Are those plants tasty?

Sorry to hear about your mom's friend. You're right about the bridge, so that's a little happy thing, anyway.

hey Sophy,

That makes me very sad about your mom losing her good friend and that your mom is so sad. K and I send her lots of hugs and tail wags. And you are right about the Rainbow Bridge. What a comforting thing to let your mom know!

You are really a sweet girl for staying out of your mom's garden! I am sure there must be another spot that is good for digging!

Hi Sophy,
Sorry to hear about your mom's friend. I hope she is feeling better soon, I know that your kisses must be helping. It's sweet of you to stay out of the garden for your mom. But I bet you could get around that fence if you wanted.
