Going To The Pet Cemetery...

Tweet

Recently, one of my brother’s puppies passed away. My brother took it out to my Mom’s farmhouse and it joined numerous other pets that have been laid to rest including my beloved Petey. He asked me to call Animal Control and see if they had a specific way you were supposed to handle pets that had died. They said he could bury it at his home…if he owns it, contact the vet who will freeze it until it can be picked up and incinerated, contact the animal shelter that incinerates it on the spot or he can find a family in the country that will let him bury it on their land. Since our Mom has a home outside of town that seemed like the best thing. I have buried not only my Petey, but various cats, hamsters, birds, fish and even a lizard. I just couldn’t toss them in the trash or send them off to become ashes. I always wrap them in a towel and say a prayer over them. With Petey, I go out each year and put flowers on his spot and I talk to him whenever I go out there. Even my Nephew says hi to him when he goes. How do you handle it when a pet dies? Do you have a special burying spot? Do you go all out with a marker and that? Any special ceremonies you do. [b]~~IN SEARCH OF PEACE WITHIN~~ **AGAINST THE STORMS, I WILL STAND STRONG** [/b]
