Travel Blogger Daily Post: A Great Dog’s Day And A Rainbow In The Sky

A Celebrity-Filled  Pet Cemetery In Los Angeles

By Kevin Wilkerson, PubClub.com Travel Blogger

The rain was pounding down to the point puddles were forming in the streets.

I had on a PubClub.com boat jacket – navy blue, PubClub logo and hood flap that covered by head and eyes so I could not see ahead of me – in a miserable morning. We don’t have these very often in Southern California but it was January and rainy days happen on occasion.

It just happened on this morning, it was pouring.

Regardless, I was willing to charge out into it because a very good friend – and an excellent person, the kind of friend that does things for you that you hate to even ask but says “yeah no problem” all the time – was burying his dog.

After 11 1/2 years, his loyal and lovable Saint Bernard passed away, and Rick was burying Kegger in a pet cemetery. Now don’t go all Stephen King on me now, this is only one of two pet cemeteries in all of Los Angeles. Jerry Lewis had his pets buried here. So did Chuck Norris.

And Kegger joined them.

Fortunately or by fate, the rain had ended by the time our ceremony for Kegger started and the typical California sunshine began to break through the clouds. As the brief eulogy continued, the sun became more prevalent and a dark day turned into a bright one.

And it got even brighter, for about an hour later, a huge rainbow filled the sky. Some people even reported seeing “double rainbows.”

One can make of that what they like but rainbows anywhere outside of Hawaii are incredibly rare, at least in my experiences. In fact, I’ve only seen them in Hawaii after a normal rainstorm. Yet on this day, we had one in California.

I’m just wondering if it was for the great dog owner Rick, or the great dog Kegger. Probably both.

Cheers!
