The one where he caught the ten foot Christmas tree with his leash, got scared because the tree was following him and dragged it at full speed 30 feet across the living room into the foyer in Taos, ten minutes before a dinner party was supposed to start?
That's still on the top ten of the funniest things I've ever seen in my entire life.
The day I had to go buy Isis new food, we checked with the vet to make her next appointment for boosters. My grandkids were with me. I asked if Angus' ashes were there and they were. It was hard to visualize that big 80+ pound dog fit in that little box.
My grandkids said they love Isis but they missed Angus (he was the only dog they knew). I told them about his ashes and then my six year old grand daughter broke my heart, "Did they burn him alive, Grandma?" It never occurred to me that she might think that. I had to explain, again, about his death and then what they did with the cremation and why.
Of course, that damned hurricane has interrupted our memorial plans for him. We're going to do ritual and with the kids, sprinkle his ashes in the backyard where he loved to run and play. We are going to do it once things settle.

I'm glad you had Holden to soothe you.
