My mom and I lived in a small house with a very large backyard. I used to hang out in my backyard - most of it was overgrown forrest and it made for great hunting and chasing. After I died my mom discovered that my beagle puppies were running and playing in our backyard jungle. She worried that they would get hurt or be bitten by a snake or something equally as dreadful. So, my mom had our backyard cleared out and grass planted and created The Alex XXXXX Memorial Park - my park. It really is fitting to have a dog park named after a cat. I love that Molly and Lillie and our new kittens, Scout and Boston, have a place to romp and play without worry. I don't love that my mom invites all the neighbors' big dogs to my park every Friday night for happy hour. My mom shouldn't do that because I never liked big dogs in my yard and now she welcomes them in my honor and memory. There's just something not right about that. I would also like to point out that it took FOUR animals to almost fill the hole left in my momma's heart when I died. I left some really big paws to fill. I don't think the quartet now living in my house quite fills them. They do come close though.
