I'm going to pick up the ashes of my dog that died last week. He was a great dog and fought to stay with us as long as he could. To keep the peace I had to have him creamated, and retrieve his ashes so that he may receive a "respectful" burial. The price includes a clay paw print, some doodad made out of clippings of his hair, and some sort of certificate or plaque. I love animals but these dog weirdos, and I think my wife has been converted to one, are ooc. When you talk to them on the phone they speak in reverent tones as if you'd lost a two-legged family member. The guy that came to pick him up had rosary beads. I loved that dog but this shite is crazy.

I did the same thing for my wife's chihuahua. It's not over-the-top expensive, and it's nice to keep the stone in the garden. The children appreciate it.

And this is coming from a guy who looks at dogs like tools.

Are you looking for prayers?

To each his own I guess. I love my dog very much and treat him like a family member. But what you're describing seems to be a bit out there.

that's pretty dang common. i did the same thing for my wife and would expect anyone else to do the same for their wife/SO if they were upset about losing a family pet.

You need to take the checkbook away from your wife.

It might not make you feel any better, but it's very unlikely you have the actual ashes from your dog.

I like my dog more than 99.99999% of people in the world. Hell, he's smarter, more obedient, does his job without complaining, protects the house, cleans up sticks in the yard, supervises me working on things, etc. That's much more than most people do
