Well, its done.

Just a few minutes ago we finished burying sucha. She ended up in our garden, rather than a farmer's field. There was some debate as to which would remain undisturbed longer. We might move next year, and the new owners could dig up the garden. Then again, the farmer's field will probably be redeveloped soon as well.

I had wanted to use the field, because it would be relatively easy to dig through. Our little back yard is just a thin layer of soil over building rubble (as we discovered when we went to put in the garden a few years ago). So, the only place in our yard that one can dig deep enough to bury a cat is in the garden. Even then, we hit rubble before we had gotten really as deep as I would have liked. Still, I think it will do.

We took pictures of much of the proceedings. I'm sure taxlady will post them at some point.

*hugs* It must have been hard for you, as Sucha was very loved. :( *hugs again*

She will be sleeping under grass and flowers?

I can just imagine how she's now all peaceful and quiet and thinking lovingly of the wonderful feeding machines who gave her so much food and ear scratching.

Well, its a vegetable garden, so she'll be sleeping under radishes and onions, but yeah.

I'm not sure there's an afterlife, but if there is, I'd like to think we're judged by how well we treat our pets. Sucha would speak up positively, I'm sure.

I don't believe in an afterlife, but on days like today, I wish I did.
