My husband grew up in the house we live in and they have buried a few pets on the property. I call it the the pet cemetery. I believe that this house will be in the family for along time, so I definetly will bury here. Our pit is getting up on her age (11 yrs.) and unfortunately it's something that we've had to consider she may not be around too much longer.
I plan to have a beautiful memorial for her. Maybe a water fountain. She loves the water.
