Do volcanic craters like this usually fill in with dirt and grass? I’ve seen pictures and it always seems amazingly level and smooth for a former volcano.

Thanks for the explanation. I’ve never seen a volcanic caldera.

That’s really sad and kind of bizarre!
I know the pain. We had a stubborn little shih tzu for 15 years. He and I butted heads constantly. When he passed I wept. I'm not saying that you and Frisky were like that... But if losing someone that got on my nerves as much as Monte did can leave me grieving, I can only imagine the emptiness you are feeling right now.
The house I grew up in.
That house must be soooo old!

Losing a dog sucks. I’ve lost several over the years. My newest is not even two years old yet, so hopefully she’ll live a long life. When I lost my last dog at about ten years old (cancer), we got a new puppy a couple days later. People were shocked at how soon I got a new dog, but I figured the grief wouldn’t be any different whether I waited days or months. Also, dogs are a better crime deterrent than any alarm or camera. I have both, but my boxer/pitbull mix makes people think twice.

Frisky was a mix of some kind of terrier. I never could stand little dogs, and never had an inside dog in my life. That was until Thanksgiving 2010 when he showed up at the back patio door and ALAYWIFE felt sorry for him and fed the mutt. He wasn't going anywhere after that. I never ever had a dog of any kind that didn't know who the alpha of the house was, until this curmudgeonly and crusty little Napolean growler came along. I struggled for 2 years to get him to figure it out, but he eventually let me know, lol. During the pandemic I was home on fulltime telework for almost a year and a half. He had been with us for 11 years at that point, but suddenly that relationship that had been love-hate, and one of toleration, became a "me and my shadow" variety. He was losing his eyesight and hearing pretty bad the last year or so, but was otherwise as Frisky as ever, a real joy to look forward to coming home to. I know what you mean about Monte. That emptiness, the void, it's tough. I'll be in the kitchen cooking supper and expect to look over and see him lying in the dining room watching every move I make, hoping I drop some grub accidentally on the floor, lol. My sentimental side allows me to believe that a good God will allow us to see him again. In the meantime, I have an 8 year old copper-nose beagle, which also just happened out of the woods of our remote holler, and he is the most lovey-dovey dog I've ever owned, and maybe the dumbest to boot, lol, which will get a little more attention now.

I have no issue with this. I find it much more appropriate. I’m really against the mistreatment of historical items, including the tearing down of statues and so forth.
