Bettis "the dog" RIP: 1995 - 2009

Tough day at the Bettis household. Our 14 year old Beagle mix passed away today. Old Bettis was a reall go-getter back in the day. Loved to play ball. God, that dog would chase a tennis ball for hours. Real good dog too, learned to sit, roll-over, shake, etc... I could always let her out back with no fence and she would never leave the yard. She lived in three different apartements and then two houses.

Bettis had really slowed over the past year. I found her this morning laying out in the yard, limp and having a real hard time breathing. She had a cogestive heart failure.

Just got done burying her in the back yard a couple of hourse ago.

You'll be missed Bettis. RIP.

Dogs don't ask for much and they're always there with tail wagging. Just remember the joy.

You buried your dog in the back yard?

Where exactly?

What if it rains? What if you ever sell the house?

Thanks Conor. I buried her in the far corner of the backyard by the tree line. Rain shouldn't be an issue, I buried her several feet deep. I packed the dirt down down real good, soaked it, etc... She isn't going anywhere.

Yep, we may move down the line, but what are you going to do. I didn't want to have her cremated, that seemed cruel.

Thinking about getting a dog soon, but this part scares me. Especially for my kids.

I'm only here because my firewall blocks Valhamma.

Though horribly sad, the death of a pet can be educational for kids

Teaches them to accept death, handle grief and ultimately move on with fond memories.

That being said, I'm completely dreading the day my 'ol lab kicks it and having to tell my young son. Rest assured, we'll both be sobbing heavily.

Take Woj's advice.

Sleep safely in your beds because men stand ready in the night to visit those who would do you harm.

And your a tough guy to take the tasks you did upon yourself. Once the "pain" wears a bit, go find yourself a puppy.
I'll send a few prayers your way.
