Today we picked up Daisy's ashes. It was hard to decide what to do with her remains. We were planning to bury her at a pet cemetery, but did not really like that idea. Then someone mentioned that they kept their pet's cremated remains at home. My husband and I knew immediately that this choice was right for us. Although we believe that she has gone on to a better place, we couldn't bear to think of her remains being left alone season after season, year after year. Visiting would be difficult since the only pet cemetery is not near us. So, now her remains are in a beautiful rose colored marble case in our living room. It makes me sad to look at the case, but the alternatives were worse.

I miss her so much. It is unbearable! I want my little Daisy back, but know that I will never see her again on earth. I can only hope that when my time comes, I hear the beautiful bark and see her running towards me.


Daisy's Mommy.

My Sidney was also cremated and I am saving his ashes as well. He was such an indescribably large part of my life for over a decade and he was the most special pet that I have ever had. I too one day will be cremated and our ashes will be mixed so that we can spend eternity as we did here on earth. Always together.

Our dog Bam hasn't come home yet. My other half is undecided what to do. Me and my 9yr old daughter want her back home. Oscar, our springer spaniels ashes are on our dressing table. I was going to scatter them over the park, but just couldn't bring myself to part with him again. Last week my other half had a dream that he saw Bam running over piles & piles of rubbish in a landfill site. He got it into his head that she'd end up there if she didn't come home. If he decides not to have her ashes back she'll be cremated along with other pets whose owners have decided against having their furbabies back. But the ashes will be scattered at the pet cemetery.

my family had our goliaths remains cremated last year. he, too, is at home and it gives us immeasurable comfort. i think you definetly made the right choice
