God, I got that dreaded call I didnt want to get
 

The Funeral home called this afternoon to say come collect the remains of Scooby:( ...I cant go for him, I just cant bear to see my dog as a small box of ashes:( ......I told my husband please go and get it and keep it in his office, I cant bear to see scooby like that. I have been really upset about this. Each time I think of his cold gray dead body laying in that basket it makes me want to scream:( and now knowing he is a box of ashes is something I cant deal with. I am not being cold, I just cnat see him this way.

oh I"m so sorry for your loss prayers coming your way.

I'm sorry for your loss.

I am sorry

I am sure that is hard. why don't you bury him?

ohhhh how sad. my heart goes out to you.

I am soo sorry for your loss. My mother had our shih tzu Calvin creamated when he passed away. Now we keep his box of ashes by the window (it was his favorite place to hang out). If you can't bring yourself to do that then maybe you could bury him in your backyard, and you can visit him whenever you'd like. :rbyorkie:

OH I so know how you feel. I had that dreaded call myself once and it was horrible, going to pick up my babies ashes. I had to do it since it was just me. I wish I didnt. I cried and cried and cried. My heart goes out to you. Remember it was just scoobys body. What made Scooby, scooby was already up at the rainbow bridge giving you lots of loves from there! Hang in there, it will get easier.

I am sorry for your loss

The Rainbow Bridge

Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.

When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.

All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor. Those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing: they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.

They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. Her bright eyes are intent. Her eager body quivers. Suddenly the animal begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, its legs carrying her faster and faster.

You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face. Your hands again caress the beloved head and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.

Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together...

I am so sorry! I cannot imagine how hard this must be for you. I'll keep you in my prayers :)

No, we decided to take him back to Brittany France and sprinkle his ashes in the yard to the beach house and on the beach where he loved so much. I had even made home made dough decorations with Scooby and Bandit's first xmas:( I will die to open that up this coming Christmas:(

Yes it is hard and tear choking I cant do it. My husband must do it, I will collapse if I have to pick him up in that tiny box, I just cant do it:( I am crying as I type this:(

Thank you all so much, I wish I can reply to all but I may get into trouble for it. So God bless you all, the support here is overwhelming. I hope nobody has to go thru this, I know we all have to at some time, but I hope not when our babies are only 7 months old:( , to me, that is the hardest part:( , each day he comes to my mind, each time I walk the street I remember him. Each time I SEE a yorkie on the road I choke up:( , each time I peel a carrot he is in my thoughts, each time I look at the food I want to bawl, I had to throw it out this morning. I will just buy a different brand. he left so MUCH uneaten meat in the fridge and he had no right to do that, who will eat all of that? It was especially made for him:(

Thank you all for the links and lovely warming poems
