Our dear Daisy Dog is dead

[Catherine]

The weather stayed warn and the ground was soft enough so we were able to bury Daisy. There is a place along the river where Paul played as a child. It is not so much a park as an area that is still wild. A group of us went together to the place where Dahlia is buried and dug a hole nearby. I held Daisy while they dug and then we all kissed her goodbye, wrapped her in her special blanket and placed her in the earth. We put a few rock on the spot and we can come back in the spring and plant some native plants over the spot. We all have a sense of peace and closure now that she is buried.

I am sure I will start to offer her treats for some time. We are feeling her presence less with each day and some day she will leave us for good.
We even admitted we would take in another dog if one needed a home.


The woman and the other dog are still unfinished business. Libby, how dangerous is a dog like that. She killed Daisy without hesitation. I have to wonder if this was her first aggressive action.

The woman is such a bad dog owner. Her child is a problem as well. She just does not take responsibility for her actions. She gave Paul a card, I suppose she meant it as a sympathy card, but it was cold and unfeeling. It in no way says she is sorry or in any way accepts responsibility for what happened.

Things are not going to end well for her dog. She will not get help training it. She clearly has no control over the dog and doesn't even try to control it.
