I buried Frazier in the backyard this afternoon, which brought on a whole new
rush of tears and memories. I'd had to wait until the ground thawed a
bit before I could dig, so I had laid him in the garage, where it stayed
pretty cold. I remember burying my first dog, Patty, back in 1981, very near
where Frazier's body now lies. That was the first time I'd ever had to bury a
pet, and it was the hardest thing I'd ever done. It was almost as hard with
Frazier, though I've had to bury all our other cats who have passed away over
quite a few years. Maestro, Abbott, Charcoal, Dusty, and Chester all still lie
behind the old house in Greensboro.
The photo above is the last one I took of Frazier while he was still alive. Moose seemed to know that something was amiss, and he stationed himself nearby for most of the night.
I can't say I have any belief in a spirit afterworld, but in my mind's eye, I see all of our beloved pets playing together happily. If there is any such thing, whenever the time comes, I want more than anything to be reunited with them, and all my loved ones.

Moose and Frazier watching TV together. They liked that a lot. |
