A view for eternity

We have more than your average number of dogs. This inevitably means we have more dog deaths than most. Its been a run of sad passings recently, Gemma a rescue died 4 months ago, followed by Mrs Bear who nearly got to 14 years old, a fantastic action Berner, then Holly, another complex Bernese died of liver failure 6 weeks ago closely followed by Ursu another rescue Romanian who died unexpectedly in his sleep two weeks ago.
So today we took him for his last walk and final resting place, in the dog cairn on the Bonsai Mountain.
The apprentice and several Berners provided the guard of honour
and Ursu was carefully placed in the cairn alongside all the other clan members past. 
Sven sat in contemplation, this is not a bad view for eternity, its where I shall probably end up, but not for some time hopefully. 
We spent a few minutes taking in the vista
Sven posing magnificently amongst the geography. 
The shire below us.
Wales to the left.
The apprentice spent a few moments with his dog, Ace. 
 Job done, we walked back to the cottage to feed the rest of the gang.
