Something different for Taphophile this week comes from a trip I made a couple of years ago to...
Best Friends Animal Sanctuary outside Kanab Utah.
You may have seen it on a tv show called Dog Town.

Angel's Rest is the burial ground for the animals who pass away while at Best Friends...this gate at the cemetery entrance was made and donated by a caring animal lover. This shot was taken through the window of the tour van...later we back for a closer look and had our lunch in a gazebo on the grounds.
Just finishing up lunch...
Ive never heard so many windchimes, its a beautiful serenade as you walk the paths to pay your respects to the animals that are buried here...
each grave is marked with a name and date...
The entire cemetery is completely Zen in nature and design. Its simple, elegant, and a wonderful place to meditate, reflect, and absorb good energy--- which is fantastic, with all the "positive spirits" that have been released here you are completely at peace. There is no evil in the heart of an animal...only pure sweet natural love and energy.
Angel's Rest is quite large, and in fact its filled to capactiy...a new cemetery has been started in another spot nearby...THIS is a place I wouldn't mind being buried myself!!
and now a short video of the grounds.
Best Friends depends completely on donations to stay afloat so if you want to help out, volunteer, donate, or ADOPT a PET, its a worthy cause I can vouch for them...they make a Difference!! They have all sorts of animals from Horses, dogs, cats, birds to pigs!
PEACE
