you a cemetery picture. Sorry, I do get easily distracted, and especially by LOLcats :)
So, for all the people that don't like cats. Here is something dog related.....it may seem kinda sad at first thought. But I have to tell you that I have been to Edinburgh castle at least a half dozen times, and every time....every single time I stop here and take a picture. This place draws me in .....something sad, but so moving about putting a cemetery for the soldier's dogs that are stationed here inside the castle grounds.
No people get buried inside the grounds.....just the dogs. That is pretty special.
I know some people might find it creepy - but it makes my heart smile and tear up a bit at the same time.

Am I correct in thinking these would be army service dogs, not pets?
ReplyDeleteAwesome.
ReplyDeleteI have quite few "petsemetary" photos myself. Something about them touches me like no other grave ever has. TFS!
Yes, Debra - it is only their service dogs.
ReplyDeleteI think it's a wonderful way to honour the animals that lived in service with the army. Very special.
ReplyDeleteI love this cemetery. Very unique.
ReplyDeleteThis is a nice way to honour the army service dogs.
ReplyDeleteWow, I recognized that spot immediately. I have a photo of the exact same location... taken back in 1983 when I went to Edinburgh with the parents on vacation. I always thought that was a very beautiful tribute to their beasties.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful way to honor the service dogs. I am always happy to find someone else who takes pictures in cemeteries. My kids think it a bit bizarre. BTW - LOL Cats lure me in too.
