I have buried chickens, kittens, puppies, dogs and wild dogs on our small holding. Last night it was more difficult. Indeed, it was our dog who was at our neighbors chickens. Our neighbor caught her yesterday (before dawn). He turned her over to us in the early evening.
We let the children say good-bye to her before going to bed. I dug her grave next to Randy's and then dispatched her while she ate some chicken (what else?) left over from dinner. These things aren't easy, but they have to be done. My oldest son was closest to her. He helped me dig the grave.
These are chores which try me. After yesterday, what we need around here is a new pup....
