I'm so sorry to hear about your retriever. I'm such a sucker for animals, especially dogs. Why not do a memorial garden in his honor?
You could get his picture on the flags they sell with photos and put it into the garden as an accessory. Plant flowers to enhance the beauty surrounding his photo. It's an idea one of my clients did in honor of their beagle. It's heart touching. Take care and take this time out to be sad. It's okay, we're only human AND dog lovers.
By the time the weather breaks, you'll be better prepared, perhaps, to exert some energy and nostalgic moments and let your mind wander as you create a new bed in honor of your dog. Just an idea.
Have a wonderful weekend. I'll chat with you more after landscape season (around end of May/June). Bye.
