My mom actually shocked me recently by suggesting that Ozzie be cremated when the time comes. (I want to be cremated and she has always been fiercely opposed to this. My way of thinking: I've spent my whole life trying to stay out of tight spots. So, the minute I'm dead and can't protest, you're sticking me in a box in the ground?!) Her thought was that I would then have him to put with my own ashes someday which I thought was absolutely precious.
I've had lots of pets and loved 'em all, some more than others. But none of them have ever loved me back as much as this little guy, so it seems a fitting tribute. I had never really thought about that before and Ozzie's 10, so I can imagine how devastating these thoughts are for your friend when she shouldn't have been thinking about this at all yet.
A pet cemetery is another option. My childhood dog (not a Yorkie) is in one. He died in 1985, long before my mother would ever have even considered cremation, much less agreed to it, and we knew we weren't staying in the house we were in at that time so it was the best option.
Thoughts and prayers to you and your friend. |
Thank you. Ozzie sounds so loving
Our last dog was cremated, i was so sad but knew it was the right thing to do. He was no longer suffering and i have pics of him to remember him by, all i have are the happy memories
