Godspeed - Makita the Mutt!!!!

We picked up Makita as a puppy in the Desert when we were on our way to West Virginia from California. I was traveling in a Van with Buffy, Baby, Munchy, and Merlin the Feline Creatures. Makita thought Merlin was his Mama and tried to nurse. He gentle bit her on the ear - telling her to Stop.

We made it to West Virginia. Makita loved the snow but she hated water. I suspect because of her Husky Heritage. Huskeys do not really belong in the Desert.

This summer, it was apparent that she was not long for this world. I was hoping to give her a perfect day and perhaps take her camping. That was not to be. She was dragging her hind legs and at times couldn't even get herself up.

I am usually the one who has to make the decision to take the animal to the Vet - to ease them into that final journey.

I left my Home in West Virginia and what I missed most of all was my Vegetable Garden. My now ex-husband tore it down and let the weeds take over. We now have it mowed down.

My buried Makita in what is now my ex-vegetable Garden. He also revealed that he buried four kittens under my ex-compost pile.

My Vegetable Garden has turned into a Pet Cemetary. I bought a Rose Bush and other Flowers for the Resting Place for Makita's Mortal Remains. I think I am going to turn my ex-vegetable garden - now a Pet Cemetary into a Flower Garden.

So sad to loose a pet. My house grounds is a virtual pet cemetery after living there for 30 years and having multiple pets during that time.
