7 Months W/o My Nissa Yesterday (23rd) Options

[Furkidlets' Mom]

Keely,

Aawwww....I'm so glad you're "in love" with my little girl! As I used to say to her, "What's NOT to love?!"

No, you're not being nosy. It's a legitimate question. Yes, I'm actually keeping her in our freezer....on a towel, covered, in a heavy box, wrapped in a heavy plastic bag. I learned about this from my ###### animal communicator after our Sabin passed and I couldn't make up my mind in the state I was in, about which method to go for - burial (and if so, where, how, etc.) or cremation. She told me this is what she'd done with her dog, then buried him later on when the ground thawed, I believe. It was a perfect solution, to me. No being rushed into a decision I wasn't capable of making at the time, as I'd thought I'd have many more years before I'd have to even think about those specifics. It's really no different than what's done with any body - just kept cool enough. With this method, if you prefer burial, there's no need to panic if you can't work the ground in the winter. And for me, at least, it allows me these visits.

Here's another one of my Little Nis'. (and btw, everyone, both hers and Sabin's names are pronounced with SHORT vowels, so Nis' rhymes with "kiss", and Sabin is like "grabbin'")

Nissa looks like she had the same silky silver fur as Homer did. She's beautiful.

Glad to see your feeling better.

Yes, there is nothing strange about the freezing method at all! Every Vet, crematory, etc. does the exact same thing until they are ready to follow through with whatever method is prefered by owners. The ones that owners left for the Vet to take care of after euthanasia, were frozen until the weekly pick up (they go to the land -fill ! No furbaby deserves that, yet 90% of vets do this...don't want to pay for mass cremation ). The crematory usually has a 'waiting list' so can't get to peoples babies the same day, so they are also frozen. Everyone is different, but I personally had panic attacks thinking about my baby being frozen in a cold, dark, freezer...and being a vet tech and having 'connections' with the crematory, they were so kind as to take care of Sasha that same day...we had her back home with us at about 10:00 p.m.. Yes, they actually went back up there after the cooling period (which takes hours) so they could prepare her ashes and let us take her home! GOD BLESS them for being so, so kind to me...it really meant alot...I couldn't bare the thought of even one night without her!

Thanks, Leighann. It's nice to know Nissa and Homer had this in common, too, bless their sheeny, little bodies! Yup, feeling a little less shaky for NOW....but we all know how fast that can change, too, so wait 'til tomorrow!

Kim, this is one of the other 'benefits' of this method, especially if one is going the burial route...they never have to leave your sight until then. Since eventually we'll be doing cremations, too, we've asked around at the various crematoriums for animals here, and there were at least two who would not only allow US to place the first one in ourselves (so I know there's no hanky-panky!), but we can get them back the same day, too. I just hope that never changes, as I'd be just like you (or anyone else), terrified of leaving them somewhere where I'm NOT! And at least with our OWN freezer, I know exactly where and how her body is. It's funny...a good thing, though - when I talk to Nissa when I bring her body out, it feels like her spirit is with me, but NOT in her body, so it's as if we're BOTH looking down at her body and knowing how I feel about it, and her, but it's two 'separate' things....more like I'm paying such great tribute to her former vehicle to still love it so, and we both understand the same thing, at the same time. I just know she wouldn't mind at all this need I have, as it's like another rite of honour of her.

I know about the whole landfill thing, and have for many years. It's disgusting. I hope everyone realizes that when this kind of thing was done to humans, it was called the Holocaust. It says life is cheap, especially the lives of animals. If I were a vet, I'd NEVER agree to this, even if it made my practice unprofitable!

Hey F.K,

Just a quickie,

What a cutie, (your husband, that is! ) only kidding

People must be blind if they can't see the beauty of Nissa and, Sabin of course!

WOW! You learn something new everyday! Well Im glad that you get to visit your little furbaby Shes precious!
Unfortuately, Im afraid 2 of my precious doggies ended up in a landfil My Dad took them in ( I couldnt go) and he just let "the vet take care of it". I think it was too much for him, both dogs were his favorites. I only hope he never figures out where they ended up. Makes me so sad! The kitties got to come home to the garden at least.

[Furkidlets' Mom]

Debbie,

Well, Nissa, Sabin and my H always did know how to pretty-up a room! (not that my H would agree - he thought it was the 3 of us, not him )

Keely,

I'm so sorry you're one of the unfortunate victims of such realities....the ones they never tell you about unless you know to ask. This is unfortunately what happens (to anybody) when we blindly trust those in a position of trust and power to do what's right. All you need tell yourself now is that at least you know different, which you (or your dad) couldn't have before. Knowledge is power. If enough people knew, we could probably effect change with this, but too many people just don't know. And of course, there are also too many who just don't care, so they don't help matters, either!

Yes, I AM glad that your felines are safely ensconced in your garden. But no matter where a body is, it's where their spirits are that REALLY counts, and those are safe and with peace and love.
