A visit to the Presidio Pet Cemetery
When in San Francisco this past week, I took a visit to the Presidio Pet Cemetery. It's a bit rundown, but there is a conservation plan in place to carefully restore it. I've been here 3-4 times over the years, and it's always a moving experience.
From the Presidio website: "Princess Tuptim, Cupcake, Wiggles. The Presidio Pet Cemetery is the final napping place for hundreds of furry, scaly, and feathered companions who faithfully served the military families who lived at the Presidio when it was an Army post. Before their deaths, cherished pets like Skipper, "The best damn dog we ever had," brought stability and levity to a life that included frequent moves and oftentimes the threat of war. What better way to honor that role than a permanent half-acre hillside plot with a view of San Francisco Bay and a solemn, hand-lettered sign that reads, "The love these animals gave will never be forgotten."
