Someone put an obituary in today's paper for their beloved dog!


It is so sweet!


I cut off the end as it had the family's name. She will be cremated & there will be a memorial service for her when the daughter returns from being stationed on a ship in the Gulf.

I think that's lovely, what a great tribute to what seemed to be a wonderful doggy.

Aww, that's lovely.
I would think the newspaper would be happy to print it as long as they get paid!

This newspaper is well known for printing dumb things. It's a running joke. Take, for instance, the police reports. There was one report of 30,000 people being pricks at a city-wide party.
A) there aren't even that many people in this county & B)

That's a wonderful way to memorialize a beloved critter.
I hope it becomes a common thing!

At the shelter where I volunteer, we have a program that allows you to have a brick in our front walkway engraved with a memorial to your pet for a donation of $75. But one fellow got really creative: his girlfriend was a devoted volunteer for the shelter, so he had a brick engraved "Becky / Marry Me / James" and placed right in the middle of the walk where she couldn't miss it!
