The best dogs got their own tree, box buried there. 3 great Danes, and a wonderful Ridgeback mix, all rescues.
my last Dane is on the mantel, next to my husband. Boxes will stay with their trees when I move.
The husband got two dogwoods, one in front and one in back.
Very special time when their trees each bloom.
