I lost my sweet girl of 14 years, last October. It's been a rough few months. I had her cremated, and her ashes on on my mantel. I really didn't want to keep them there forever, so I was going to bury them. As I've been researching for ideas, I came across a biodegradable urn that also grows a tree. I thought it was such a great idea that i bought it. Here's the link for anyone interested. I send my love to all of you that are experiencing loss. My Pet Lives On
The ashes are just the remains of her body. Her soul is not in that container. Personally I feel that the remains of a dogs body mean nothing. Her soul will meet you at the bridge when you pass.
Spread her ashes at her favorite dog park if it makes you feel better or keep them at home.
BTW- I have always buried my dogs on my property near where they used to stand watch or sit in the shade. I have never thought that cremation was right for me. I usually bury them with a rawhide bone and my tears.
You can buy pet cremation jewelry all over the web-tiny pendants, earrings, and rings that can hold a pinch of your dog's ashes to wear as a necklace or keep in your bedroom.
try Biodegradable Pet Urn by My Eternal Family Tree They create handcrafted, biodegradable cremation earns for pets (and soon for humans). The cool thing is that it is also a planter for a tree.
I scattered a couple of my dogs' ashes along a favorite walking route or beach we'd run on. They became part of the places they loved forever.
That's perfect. When my first (as me as an adult) dog Sidney died I didn't know what to do. We had her cremated and her ashes sat in box. I believe that Sidney lived her best life at an area we hiked to and camped at. I had never seen her so happy as she was there.
When my second dog (Sonja) became an adult and was old enough to carry a backpack, we took her to the same place, carrying Sidney's ashes in her backpack. We decided to camp at a different spot closer to the river, but I took Sonja to where we had camped with Sidney and Sonja immediately dug a big hole in the ground. Which was weird because she wasn't much of a digger. So I put Sidney's ashes in the hole and covered it up. It was like it was meant to happen that way.
