BCF - Insect
These stick insects were the children’s first pets. When they died Tom lovingly mounted them and framed them for posterity. I just hope he won’t want to do the same thing when Rufus passes on.

I've always loved these bugs. We call them "walking sticks" around here, but I haven't seen one in several years. And, having just seen Rufus's pics, I think you guys could probably settle for framing them, rather than the dog himself, when the day comes! :-)
Yes I'll probably scatter his ashes along his favourite walk. But hopefully it's a long, long way away.
