My husband just yelled for me from the back yard a little freaked out because he thought our big old Lab was dead. He wasn't. He looks dead all the time. He sleeps heavy and he is deaf so it is hard to wake him. Anyway I do have a question, Coal is old and I do expect him to die soon. My mom keeps telling me I need to have him put down, but my husband has a hard time with that. Now for the question~ What do you do with a huge dog when it dies? The ground here is very hard this time of year so digging a hole would be difficult because he is so big and we have lots of coyotes. Do you take them somewhere or rent a tracktor and bury them????????
