Thanks for the answers, and please keep them comming.
It seems that so many of us our pets become a major part of your family, kinda like a brother if we had it as we where young and you grew up together, and if you where older they are like our children. So in a sense they truely are a part of the family, so there will be grief and sorrow.
For those that lost their animal at home, was it an immediate thought to bury in the yard, or did you feel like it was an only option, and you didnt know who to contact and didnt want to be bothered with a vet, either because of traveling with the deceased animal or cost.
POnch thanks for your repsonses, but your responses are why I asked for adult answers, because you where not in the decision making, although you had grief and I am sorry for your pet loss, but I ma looking more for answers of the person that handeled the situation. Because your answer of the vet took care of it, what do you think they did with it? Your folks had 2 options usually either waste ( goes in to landfill) or cremation, or a communial cremation which means it was cremated with up to 1000 lbs of other animals.
Anyways please keep the answers comming...
Thanks
