Coon Dog Cemetery

James' Aunt Kim and Cousin Maya came to see the sights of the south.  We went to the Coon Dog Cemetery one day while they were here.  I thought it was defenitely blog worthy so here are a few pictures from the day.  The Cemetery was started in 1937 when a man wanted to honor his dog when he died.  Not just anyone can bury their dog here.  You must witness that your dog is a coon dog, have another person witness that your dog is a coon dog and have some one from the boardof the Coon Dog Cemetery see your dog and witness that it is a coon dog.  It is pretty serious business.  The cemetery is in the midle of no where (unlike the reinacted one in Sweet Home Alabama).  It is actually pretty neat and it was fun to see all the names of the dogs, the unique headstones and way that people really cared about these dogs.  So...if you are ever here for a visit, I know the way to the Coon Dog Cemetery if you would like to go...
