I just had to deal with this very issue this week. My 14 month Yorkie, Max, had a heart attack during his surgery and passed on. What's difficult is making a decision as to what to do with his remains. I live in a mobile home park so burying him here is out of the question. A friend offered to allow me to bury his is his back yard. I opted to have him cremated so I can always have a part of him with me. I know that sounds silly cause I've got his toys and clothes, but having his ashes here may make me feel better. But of course, I'm not really thinking too straight so this might be a real strange reason to have him cremated.
