This morning as i visit my garden, i saw Johnny’s old cage sitting idly at the back of the house and rusting away. He passed three months ago and i still struggle with the pain of losing him.
I put a yellow flower on the old cage which is the same kind of flower that i offered him on the morning of May 28 when he passed. (Note: Johnny was NOT a caged dog. The cage is just used for Johnny’s safety everytime we park the car or drive the car out of the garage.)
This old cage has served well.

This following is a photo of his new cage, bigger, wider and it even has roof insulation. The door has been left shut since the day he passed and i wonder who will ever use this cage again.

One of the best posts you have written about your dog. I saw it before but I am reading it again now.
thank you arlene.. i wrote that one dere-derecho lang, walang pause.. siguro dahil sobrang emo ako that time.. i still miss my sweet boy.
Oh I do feel your sadness and completely understand. I too have physical memories of my four legged friends that are no longer with me. What’s the rush to move it along? Maybe at some point the cage will bring you happy memories beyond loss but the good times.
i’m sure i will feel it in my heart when the right time comes to have another German Shepherd again just like my Johnny..
