Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for August 24, 2016

Go to the pet supply and buy a little grave marker with Fluffy’s name on it. Then she can rest appropriately commemorated.

thank god it’s not Garfield.

Now I’m thinking of the climax of “Poltergeist” where all literal Hell is breaking loose and the guy is yelling about “You moved the headstones but you didn’t move the bodies! WHY?” I wish the boss had said “It was cheaper; duh!”

Time to move on……..

I made my own memorial stone for my two pets. Used some flagstone pieces scrubbed clean, then wrote on them with permanent marker. They do a fine job of making those graves.

Janice can dig up the cat if she want to move it. No need for Arlo to do it.

Too bad the cat wasn’t named Napoleon. Then they would have found Napoleon’s bony parts.

Well, to cat lovers, this week’s ARC was a total bust.

When we moved 10 years ago we left behind our buried cat’s skeleton but have his marker in our pet memorial in our current back yard. He was part of the family for 17 years.

The only place I have a pet memorial is in my mind.
