Thank you for addressing this all important and eventually essential task....hopefully, it will be a loving task.....but it will be traumatic and gut wrenching and emotionally draining to do what deep inside our hearts, we all know is a necessary evil.

In home euthanasia is a wonderful thing that is spreading, albeit slowly, around the country....there are still vets that are stunned and amazed when they are asked to do this....but more and more of them realize this is such a comfort for the owners, as well as the patient.....

I have been with all my babies as they crossed over....some I carried on my chest for several days, as they slept peacefully, before leaving me....several left at the vet office, and it absolutely killed me to send them on in a vet office, although the staff made it as absolutely calm and peaceful as possible, after hours....

I have had several of my angels cremated....and the rest, I have "buried" in huge pots.....those ones that look like they are all carved out of stone, but they weigh about 1 lb.....that way, when I move, my babies will always come with me......I paint a small heart on the pot, with the name of my baby that rests there.....and each pot has a beautiful plant flowering and blooming in the pot. I have gorgeous lillies in a pot....I have dwarf azalias in a couple of pots.....I have "Fairy Roses" in a couple of pots....I have Night Blooming Jasmine in two huge pots.....I have my precious baby girl that spent her most joyous time, chasing birds all over the yard, up and down the fence, she is resting peacefully in a beautiful pot that is thriving with Bird of Paradise plants.....I am ordering Angel Trumpet shrubs to plant in two more pots......all my precious babies have been Rosehill Yorkies, either as breeders or as just precious little mascots, and they will remain with me until I go for them all, at Rainbow Bridge....
