Little doggie grave.....


  Okay...here's my question:

Remember my little dog who died couple of weeks ago? Well, I had a nice little grave for her and I put a little angel doggie on it (it was something really corny that I would NEVER do) and some nice little flowers. It looked very nice and I liked it.

Now, a friend of mine who I have known for a very long time came over Saturday and without asking or saying anything brought flowers and planted them on the little doggie grave.

Now, I know she loved the dog and I know she didn't mean any harm by doing that BUT I just found it very upsetting. I had it the way I liked and it was symmetrical and pretty.

I tried going and getting a few more flowers to get the symmetry back but it just doesn't look as nice. It really bothers me. I didn't say anything because I have learned to pick my battles and I know my friend loved the little dog but she was MY dog.  

Am I overreacting????? Or am I just totally losing it here? (All over a couple of poorly placed but well intentioned flowers.)

    I think she was being very nice in doing this however....she was YOUR dog and how YOU choose to have her resting place is entirely up to you.  I would remove the flowers and plant them elsewhere, if she says anything just tell her what you've just said here.  She should understand and not make an issue about it.
