their wuz fud and drink and menny nice peepul at the memoryal inklooding peepul wot wer verry susseptibul to the sugjestchun that we wud reely like a peese of kfc pleez:
in fakt my brother tucker the other vizsla dog had to be kept on leed most of the time becuz wen he wuz let off leed he wood eether go strayt to the fud tabel and try to steel fud off it or else he would try to steel fud rite off of peepuls playts inklooding sum peepul wot wer in weelchayrs with there playts in there laps not cool tucker!!!!

What a nice post. I hope when I go that my family will have a Memorial like Lori’s. That would make me very happy.

Hi Dennis, that was a nice post in memory of your mum’s friend. I expect Lori would have approved. You are right that with all those dogs around nobody could be sad for too long. Dogs deal with these things so much better than humans – they live in the moment!
You will need to be extra nice to your mum for a while – but then you already know that. I am sure you will all miss Lori xxx

Very nice post Dennis. That sounds like a very good memorial for your friend and I sure she would have appreciated it. Do you think that dog is still there looking for the gophers?

Oh that is such a beautiful thing you all did for Lori. I bet she was there the whole time smiling and barking and playing along… there is certainly nothing better than to celebrate the life and the memories 🙂
