Dog Cemetery. . Limestone poodles, spaniels, and hounds bearing flower baskets greet visitors at the entrances to the secluded wooded area ahead. Marjorie Post created the dog cemetery, planted with fragrant sweet box, as a memorial to the pets she loved throughout her life. Scampi, her last dog, was laid to rest here in 1972. Many of Post's family members shared her great love of dogs and memorialized their pets here.
