little nick watched his father in the backyard. He wasn't allowed to follow. He watched from behind the curtain as his father shoveled spadeful after spadeful of dirt from the where the old garden used to be. It was gone now, the old garden, just like his mother. In it's place a spaniel would lie buried a few feet beneath the surface. It was his mothers dog, her constant companion until she died 7 months ago.
