I keep my dear old girl in a beautiful box that my vet bought for me made out of cherry, she is in my living room under her picture on the wall and always watching over me and my family. Take CAre God Bless, LOL Dave FRom up North
Guess I'm not the only softy, best thing I ever did was cremate Bart, a part of him will allways be with me, the rest at his favorite places..
Eric, pretty much what I did, some in Sqaum on the same beach he learned to swim, some in the yard on his favorite places to lie and the rest here with me in my office. They put the ashes in two unrs, one really nice wooden one and the rest in a tin can. We then took one last ride to the lake, Bart and me, with the can of ashes on the passenger seat, his seat.
I feel bad for people that have never had the oppertunity to bond with a good dog.
Oh and Eric, time does heal all wounds, Bart was not my first and only dog, we had two others over the years, they all lived long lives, 3 dogs, about 40 years. The other two are only a good memory now, but Bart, after two years, still hurts.
Get another one as soon as it feels right, do it for the kids, it's amazing how much Labs love kids.
Sorry for your loss, because they are our best freinds, the loss's are real and painfull. Which only makes the time with them all that much more important. If u can, celebrate what you had, not what you don't.
