I'm so sorry for your loss. She was obviously one loved pooch.
We have a simple gold earn on top of a display case in the house. It's off to the side and doesn't get in the way.
Another thought is to get one of those memorial gems. Prices vary a lot and the link below is one of the high end ones. Show hubby these prices and he'll probably be cool with the urn

But google around if the idea interests you. I know there are more reasonable prices.
