> I know the feeling of loss not a day goes by that I do not think of my Brandy & Sheeba first two pups little ones that I got as adult late 30's at the time. Had them for l7 years Brandy & 13 Sheeba. I will be buried with them. And the 2 I have now also. Phillipa
I'm sorry you lost your beloved pups, Phillipa. And I understand wanting to be buried with them. I always figured I'd be buried, but when I lived on my own in apartments in Chicago and my 3 beloved cats died - Murphy, Sidney, and Chloe - cremation was the only real option b/c I know that even though there are pet cemeteries, I suspect they will one day be dug up to make room for yet more strip malls. Plus, I wouldn't be able to be buried with them there. Plus, I want part of my body at least to be near my pets I loved and lost when I was young. So I had my kitties cremated, and I plan to be cremated myself, along with the kitties I have now. I have asked my husband (we have agreed it would be much better if I go first as he could handle the grief much better than I could)..anyways, I have asked him to mix all the ashes together, me, and all my kitties that I have lost and will lost, and have told him where our little pet cemetery is at the house I grew up in, and to aske my brother if he is not sure, and to scatter all our ashes over the cemetery. At least bits of me will be wiith the creatures I have learned, the hard way, to love more than people. Take care.
