Heidi, that is such a wonderful description of a fun loving Quahog.
I'm so pleased that you have been able to bury him in his favourite place and somewhere that he will always be near you. I'm afraid that I have had to leave behind several special corners in the fields of the various farms I have owned, where I have buried horses, dogs, cats, goats, a special rescued sheep, rabbits and even chickens. But when their time came they were all laid to rest beside the friends that they had shared their lives with, which gave me peace. My very first JR terrier was buried on a friend's family farm beside one of her sons, and they were later joined by another three of her children and two of her grandchildren and a little plague was placed on a nearby tree. With our previous farms, it was even written into the deeds, when we sold them, that I or any direct member of my family can, by appointment, return to visit those special graves. I do not go back, perhaps because I know I can, but I feel that the animals I have now need me more, although those that have passed are never far from my daily thoughts.
Quahog has not left you - I believe that all our beloved animals stay close to us. Dont be afraid to speak to him if you have a sudden feeling that he is there, you may be suprised how peaceful it will make you feel if you acknowledge his presence.
Again my sincere apologies - hugs for you and Skiff.
