Question for Pet owners

[AddictedtoNITRO]

Both my dog and cat passed at home. Two years apart. I buried them in my yard and marked each spot with a stone from my yard. I was glad to have had them go that way. If you pay a vet to put them down, they will not usually release the remains unless you pay for cremation. Its against many local laws to bury a pet even on your own land. Burial on my property helped me with closure. I did it when my wife took the kids out and showed them the spot when they returned. We talked about it and how much we loved our pets and all. My oldest son is 4 but he understands and knows where they are is its over now.

We will likely get another dog in the next couple months. I have never lived without a cat and dog in my life. Its wierd and too quiet around at night. They would always be playing and fighting and such. Maybe I'll bring one home tomorrow now that I think of it LOL!

I think it all depends on the vet Mike. Our family vet (had for bout 18 years) let us take both animals home with us after they put them down. He always asked us if we wanted him to take care of it but we told him we would. Also I'm sure there are a few more vets out there that understand you and would let you take the animal home. Maybe make you sign a paper or something but....
