We laid Sugar to rest today, out in the yard with the rest of her family, by the fence near the peony. We wrapped her in one of my old favorite t-shirts. A serendipitous manifestation of global climate change here is that there is no snow yet and our dirt is not frozen. My violas and pansies are still blooming, so we laid several on her grave and bid her farewell. She was born here in this place, her mother and brother are buried here, and their spirits will always live in this family's hearts.

Thank you again for caring.
