I was wondering if anyone has had this dreaded experience and if so what you did to memorialize your lost pet? I've been kindof pre-planning for my lil Chewy as he is 15 and showing signs of the inevitable. I know when the day comes I will be a basketcase, so I'm trying to prearrange everything so I don't have to make those decisions when my mind is mush.

Did you choose to cremate your pet? If so, did you distribute the ashes somewhere special or do you have an urn in your home?

I'm leaning towards an urn and have found a few I like that are somewhat cheerful (despite it being a sad situation). I want to remember Chewy with happiness.

If you did get an urn...I would be interested to know what kind of urn you chose and if your happy with your decision.

I certainly appreciate you sharing about your beloved fallen pet. PS - any advice on the subject would be so appreciated...I haven't been throught this before and could certainly use all advice! Thank you and bless you.
