A girl's best friend

A girl's best friend, Magnolia Cemetery, Charleston, S.C.n

Some of my favorite walks are through cemeteries and Charleston's are some of the best. I've spent a lot of time in historic Magnolia Cemetery but don't very often get back the more recent tombs in the back Greenhill section where I found this one. I've never seen a tombstone like this before, have you?

I'm not sure I understand it, but anything involving a dog makes me smile. :)

"av guy" is me, lowandslow. I have no idea where that comes from. Blogger has my account so screwed up I can't even post anymore. That's Ok ,as long as I can still read what my friends have to say.

that is so unique. I imagine there was a great friendship story there.

It's both sweet and unique! I wonder who's gravesite it memorializes. A child? Certainly not the dog! In any event, I love it.

I figured that was you when I clicked on profile. What happened to your blog? I haven't had any trouble yet. Should I worry?

That is what I think....a little gal who loved her dog. Sad.

Charlestonjoan said...

Right - it would be the child. I don't know why I didn't take a shot of the entire tomb.

It is kinda at the back of the Greenhill section. Pretty large.

Charlestonjoan said...

I know. Sniff.

This old cemetery is one of my favorite places to roam around. There is such beauty in the atmosphere and the details!

This tombstone awakens all sorts of melancholy, sad feelings inside me. One can only guess at the story behind it.
