re: Losing a pet

Having burned up pieces of my pet on my mantle wouldn't make me feel any better about anything. But that's just me. Sorry for your loss

I don't think it's weird at all.
Our dog is 10, so I'm starting to have thoughts about this more and more. It's gonna suck bad when it happens.
I think I'm gonna put his ashes on the mantle and possibly a picture too.

As much as my parrot gives me grief a times, I hadn't thought of this. Hoping she out lives me which is probable.

This sounds more like what we would prefer. She was not a hunting dog but was a constant companion who was a family member and gave us unconditional love. To each his own, but we want to remember her in a dignified manner.

sorry about your pet, jazz...the unfortunate thing about pets is that they just don't live as long as we do...
as far as your question...no, I would not consider it morbid to keep your dog's ashes...lots of people actually keep the ashes of loved ones after they pass on. Ashes are typically kept in a fairly inconspicuous urn and frankly, unless you tell someone, you and your wife will be the only ones who know what it is...
I would not chose to keep the ashes, but if it gives you comfort, then I wouldn't hesitate...
Also, I have been in the situation of having a dog with cancer and my advice would be to not wait too late in the process to have the dog put down...after a certain point, it is really only selfish on our part to keep them here...

I guess we shouldn't love those little frickers as much as we do. But for whatever reason, we do and we want to hold on to something.
When old StinkDog12 punched out, he was my boy for 16 years and died on his b-day. No way I could just wrap him in a bag and toss him in a ditch.
Dude's ashes ride bedside shotgun in a cedar box with his name burnt in.

I agree with you on that!
We have a good relationship with our Vet who is monitoring her condition each week and will let us know when it's time to put her down so she won't suffer.
Thanks everyone for your thoughts.

Sorry to hear that about your dog & that doesn't sound morbid at all.
Posted on 2/5/14 at 7:58 pm to tigerjazz61
I got my cat's and a dog's ashes in my office.

I took mine for a boat ride out into Breton Sound and spread his ashes in one of our favorite fishing grounds.

I think I may get a mold made of my dog's paw print and put her name on the same mold. Something to put on the wall.

Kept the ashes from my 11 year old pug after he was hit by a car a few months ago. They did a very professional job-not morbid at all IMO.

You couldn't pay me enough to do something this heinous.

My black Lab's ashes are on my bookshelf. Not sure when the wife's birthday is, but here's a suggestion: go to blurb.com and put together a coffee table book of your dog's life (that is, if you have a bunch of pictures of the dog). Made one for my wife the Christmas after we put our Lab down. It's one of her most cherished gifts.
Now, we have a chocolate Lab, and I cannot even imagine what life is gonna be like when he goes.
It takes time, but the one thing that helps people get over the loss of a great dog is the love of another great dog. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Most vets will give you a small box containing the ashes. We put a pic of the pet by each one.

I know. So what's your point?

My wife and I are struggling now with the thought of getting another dog after Jazz is gone. We can't imagine replacing her. I have heard that the best remedy for a broken heart over losing a cherished pet is to get another one. Not sure are emotionally ready for that now. Time will tell.
