It's the anniversary of my dogs death in 2 days. I dont know what to do for her?

Help me please! My dog died one year ago on april 8th

she was VERY special to me, and even a year later i am still VERY upset about it, she was older than me, and lived to be 15 years old. she was alive when i was born, so i never knew life without her. i want to do something special for her on tuesday, but i dont know what. I was thinking of planting flowers around her grave or something, but the weather here does not agree with me. It's snowing now. UH OH! I just want to know what to do for my specail doggy... her name was ginger.

The way you still worry about what to do for ginger says allot about you, maybe all you have to do is keep remembering her and as you get older and may have many more dogs, but just tell ginger (they are waiting for us) that she will always be your "special dog" we all have one, also if you have a bush or tree or anything get a little wind chime and know every time you hear is tinkle she's running by or around the house.
Reply:I know you can't do this at the moment because of the weather but you said it was something you like the idea of. Google plants with "Ginger" in the name.



Source one for yourself and plant it then you will have a permanent memorial to your special loved one.



I did this in my father's memory. I found a rose called "My Dad" It is with me always just as he is.



R.I.P Ginger



EDIT: Acallum - what a fantastic idea!!! Thumbs up for you
Reply:Ginger sounded adorable. . .well, even though you cant plant flowers, you could get her some to put on her grave. That's what I do everytime we get flowers that are getting old for my girl, Cocoa. Maybe when the weather gets better, you could plant some flowers. And maybe if she had a favorite human meal, you could fix that for dinner or something
Reply:Put one of her favoutite bones, or a shirt she would sleep on on her grave. She would aprecciate it very much
Reply:Make a donation to a local animal shelter in her name. It dosent have to be money. Just dropping off a toy or some yummy treats will make a shelter dogs day a little better.
Reply:Look in gardening magazines for a stone you can get engraved with Ginger's name. When you move away from home you can find a special place at your new home and have the memorial with you forever. A dog gives so much love throughout their life that taking time to reflect and meditate about Ginger and what she did for you during her life is something you can do. Write your thoughts and memories in a diary or a journal dedicated to Ginger.

I have lost several pets over my life and each one has a special place in my heart. I have always gotten another dog, not to replace the lost pet but to fill the hole in my heart. The Humane Society or animal shelter is a great place to find a new dog. That is where I have gotten all my dogs and they seem to know how special you are for picking them. It is so difficult to lose a pet, but there are so many dogs out there that need the love of a person like you, think about adopting. You have a lot of love to give and an adopted dog will give back ten fold what you give them. I am so sorry for your loss. One last word, don't try to replace Ginger, but instead find a different breed or a mutt and have another lifetime of experiences.
Reply:Not an easy time, eh? Best wishes. If it's still snowing you could make a snow-dog or snowman by the grave. Alternatively, faux flowers or a holly/evergreen garland like people use at Christmas will really brighten her grave.



When the weather gets better, you could plant evergreens or plants and flowers which sprout or flower in winter and spring - that way, you'll have a nice site to look at all year round.
