she was so beautiful and by looking at her face i see a goofy silly girl. i know how you must feel. everyone's emotions are different but when i lost my 102 i know how i felt and still feel. if you feel one half of that... uggh. you are in my thoughts. it's very hard. but strangely enough it is somewhat joyful and peaceful because of who they (dogs) were. it's much different than losing a human loved one because so much unconditional love is involved. i think scattering her ashes on the lake would be a wonderful memorial.... but i also think saving some... a little bit of her to keep with you in case your life would take you far away from the lake might be a good idea. also- several tattoo artists will mix in ashes with black ink... just a thought. my best friend is doing that. well dear... your maisie already has a friend in heaven... my spotted one. ♥
I'm sure she would approve of your plan for her resting place.
