Sarahstaff Posted November 28, 2004 Posted November 28, 2004 Yes, I do sometimes sit around thinking about what I'll do with my dogs' remains when they die. :o I think I might like to do this with Elmo, if I can afford it when he (sometime in the far future, hopefully!) dies. I like the idea. Quote
StarFox Posted November 28, 2004 Posted November 28, 2004 Wha! That is so werid! :o I can kinda see people doing that with there dogs but I'm not so sure about people! I don't think I would like gramps made into a necklace. No thanks. :lol: Quote
courtnek Posted November 28, 2004 Posted November 28, 2004 I am stealing this thread....someone PLEASE start one about PushyCat...it wont let me start one. and he is in bad shape... Quote
imported_Kat Posted November 28, 2004 Posted November 28, 2004 arghhh I posted the C word and lost my post! :roll: I'm not into keeping ashes and so forth. To me the memories are the best thing to treasure and with any kitty that I have lost I have kept the collar and disc. Quote
Guest Anonymous Posted November 28, 2004 Posted November 28, 2004 I agree with Kat. When I loose an animal I keep their collar and tags but that is it. I don't need their ashes to remind me of our love for each other. Quote
mouseatthebusstop Posted November 28, 2004 Posted November 28, 2004 as much as I love my dogs I am happy to leave them with the vet after they have passed to the bridge Quote
courtnek Posted November 28, 2004 Posted November 28, 2004 I have the collars and tags from all my pets except Taurus and Isis. I have their ashes in urns, since Isis refused to be seperated fromTaurus' ashes after he passed. Quote
imported_Debbie Posted November 29, 2004 Posted November 29, 2004 3 of our dearly departed pets are buried in the local Pet Cemetary..... 3 are buried in our backyard.......and we keep all the collars and tags of our loved ones. I hang them on hooks on my kitchen wall.....my Mom couldn't bear keeping her last little Bostons harness so she gave it to me and it hangs right next to Nakita's collar on the wall. :wink: Quote
Horsefeathers! Posted November 29, 2004 Posted November 29, 2004 We used to bury ours in the backyard, but since our vet acquired a cremator burner thingy, we now have them cremated. I don't keep the ashes, though. I do keep the collars and I kept Rocco's boots. I could never leave mine with the vet for disposal. I don't know what they do with them elsewhere, but around here, dogs left with the vet are picked up by the city workers and hauled off to the landfill and dumped just like the other garbage. Most people here aren't aware that that's what goes on when the vet staff asks if they want them to "take care of it," but since I know, I can't do it. Even if I don't keep the ashes, I just can't bear the thought of my critter's body being dumped from a trash truck like common rubbish. :( Quote
