My 16 y/o yorkie/pom passed on last week. It's been devastating and draining for me, as my dogs are very much family. However, I realize this isn't a pet forum so I'll try to get to the point.
A friend came to be support and help me bury him. He saw this stump thing along the house, and came up with the idea of getting it out of there and placing my dog there as his final resting place. This spot is directly under a basement window and we kind of got the idea of maybe doing a memorial of sorts in the window to protect it from what weather we could.
I gave myself time to think about it, and thought maybe a couple painting of him when he was pup and another as an adult [window is divided by a bar, making it two sections]. I asked my mom do these, and I am just coming up with one problem. The sun does hit the spot a short part of the day and I worry about fading. My idea was to move it back slightly to the edge inside the window [probably about 5 inches] and making it all most box like, then placing some of his fave toys in front of it and hang his collar/tags off to the side a little.
Does anyone have any ideas to protect these paintings better. Mom said she could put some lacquer [sp?] coating on them, but wasn't sure that would do anything to protect them. I'm hoping moving them back a bit will do most of the work, but would appreciate any ideas.
Thank you in advance.
