Soon I will be losing one of my best friends, he is the first and oldest of my babies. His name is Max. Old age is getting the best of him no matter what we do to help. He will soon be leaving me to go to doggy heaven. I will miss him dearly, but will keep him forever in my heart. He is a good friend and listener. I am selling items on ebay to help with his final resting place. Please check out my auctions and help if you can. I do not want to bury him because when I go, what will happen to his grave site. I do not like cremation, but he can then be buried with me . What do you think is the best option? Any opinion I will greatly appreciate.
I'm so sorry to hear of your best friend going to the Rainbow Bridge soon. It is always hard to let them go. I had to let my beloved Shih Tzu, Mandy, go 3 years ago and it was because of old age. I had her creamated and will have her ashes buried with me when I go. As you say you don't know what will happen to their graves when you go and I wouldn't want them to be tossed in the garbage when new owners move in and decide to redo the landscaping. Edie
Hi: I lost my lab about 2 years ago. I have her ashes now and have made arrangements for her to be laid to rest with me. We were always together here on earth and will be together in Heaven once again. It sounds like Max has had a very full life and now it's just time for him to go. That's the way it was with Harley. She was just a great dog and I still miss her very much. Only time can heal.
I am sorry to hear that you will lose your best friend soon. Believe me, it is never easy. I have lost four over the years and had them all cremated. Each one is in a beautiful special container with their names on it. They will be buried with me when I go.
i think its a wonderful idea to have your beloved baby cremated and buried with u!! I have 3 dogs, a chihuahua, a dachshund and a pomeranian which is 8 yrs old now... angel has been my best friend throughout those 8 years of dealing with a divorce and being a single mom of 2, she was always there to brighten my days and nights... i would cry and she would be right there in my face to comfort me! Thats what I will do with all of my dogs...
Hello all, I know from experience how hard it is to loose one of your furry babies. Lost too many in the last couple years. Now we have more, but never takes the place, just new personalities and schedules. When it comes time to put my Newfies down, I will dig the hole in our pet cemetary on the back of our property, I will place those big bodies in there and I will have a spot to grieve when I need to. Everyone has their own way to grieve and you will know which way to go. If cremation is the way, go for it, if burial is the way, make sure you have a spot where it will remain for quite some time. I have several out in our pet plot, and walk out there to talk to them when I feel low. Pictures are my best memory and they remain in my heart forever. Take care, Val P.S I have a 14 yr old lab that will be the next in line to be buried by his beloved "wife" one that he was more faithful to than most humans are to their spouses......Long sad story!
I am so sorry !! I know how it is not to want to let go. I lost my beloved Loppy Dog to old age and then Ra Ra to cancer - only to have Patchy cross Rainbow Bridge a couple of months later also due to old age. Sometimes it seems to much to bear.
I appreciate everyone's advise and concerns. Thank you very much. It is great to see so many dog lovers. Today is Sept. 12, and the Vet is amazed that Max is doing a little better today, eating more and is up and walking. He has a long way to go , needs a lot of weight gain. I hope for the best. Thank you dog lovers with all my heart. Julie
I just ready your last post and I am glad to hear he is doing better and that you will still have some time with him. I'm so sorry to hear that you will be losing him, hopefully not soon! Two weeks ago I had to have my Vet send my dog Willow to doggy heaven. She was my special friend. I got her from the shelter when my husband passed away. I had no choice but to have her cremated since burrying her was just to expensive. I'm sure you will make the best choice for you when the time comes. Try to remember that it's just his body that will be leaving you and you will always have the good times to look back on. I'm sure you feel much like I do when the time comes. I just wanted to let you know someone out here, with tears in her eyes, will be thinking of you. Cleo
