When you face the devastating task of loosing/having your dog put to sleep...as I and others have recently
frown.gif

What do you do with them....after the process?

I have them PTS at home with me.....I keep them in the house if I cant get to pet crem straight away....Then I drive them up to the pet crem and lay them in the chapel(lovely peacefull place that looks like a little church) to say goodbye :

I get the ashes back at mams vets the next day....or in the case of my little blue whippet I lost 2 years ago......I picked her ashes back up 2 hours later...cos I was in a state and just felt I needed them back straight away

What do/will u do at the time?
 
We haven't had any deaths for a while but we normally bury them in the wood next to my mum and dads house.

This is very morbid!! Cheer up you miserable cow!

I usually have them put to sleep at the vets because I do not want the body back, however with my old dog who was put to sleep a couple of months ago, I had her put to sleep at here on the farm with her head lying on my lap. We then buried her in front of the house in the turning area where we have a stone memorial to her.

The only reason I had her buried here was because she was very much a part of this farm and a very very dear part of me; and where she is buried she will never be disturbed even when I am no longer around.

I've never buried my dogs in the past because I have known I won't be staying at that property forever and I wouldn't really like someone to dig them up by mistake.

For the length of time we remain on this farm, we will always have our dogs put to sleep at home and then bury them somewhere on the property where they will never be disturbed.
 
totally of subject but a family up the road from us had the oldest pony in the world, Bella, Can't remember what was wrong with her but she was in pain - they waited til they could get a JCB to come and dig a whole for her to stand next to and fall in before they had her PTS!!! How bad is that!!

I was thinking of having my horse burried where he lives...I have my own place and he has been there over 15 years....however I will not stand him over the grave and wait for him to fall in
crazy.gif
I will drag him over...LMAO

My dogs from the last 20 years are all buried in the garden. Usually pts at home as well. The exception is my daughters Lancashire Heeler who was pts at the vets and my daughter chose to have her cremated (couldn't bear to bring her home in the car with us). I let her make the choice as she had had Abi since she was 3, i.e. nearly 15 years. However when the ashes were returned we buried them in the garden. Regarding the pony and the JCB. When our old pony was put to sleep we actually did this, but we did not keep her suffering. We had just made the decision it would be cruel to put her through another winter. It was a neighbours JCB and he actually came as soon as he was asked and dug the hole. When the vet came she was pts near the hole and just gently rolled into it with the JCB bucket. More dignified imo than being dragged across the field. But had she been in severe pain my first priority would have been to have her pts. She couldn't have gone to the hounds, she had been on a low dosage of bute for years!
 
The doberman we lost was pts at home because she went into a fit and never came out of it, the vet wrapped her up in her bed and took her in his car to a pet cemetery where she was cremated and my parents have the ashes in a little oak box. Our jack russell was pts at the vets because we took him there as he wasn't right and was told that the time had come. He sits next to our doberman in his own little matching box.
The same will happen when I lose my boy.
 
I had a dog PTS nearly 5 years ago, He was cremated and his ashes were scattered up the gallops as it was his favourtie place.

Would do same for Boris and scatter his ashes in the sea cos he loves swimming in the sea and sailing with me (god i hope not yet as he's only baby!)

Cat will be in the garden.

Buck will be buried in the fields owned by YO. He had buried all of the liveries horses included his own horses. it's nice because they would be still at "home" My old mare went to the kennels.
 
Malic was the first dog i have owned and lost
frown.gif
He was PTS at the vets as he wasnt taken for that but we decided it was too cruel to take him home as he was in pain. We took him straight to the pet cemetry. I had my pony PTS last year, he was cremated and his ashes buried. He has his own headstone ( i know some might find this strange but it works for me ) When Simon was buried we knew Malic didnt have long, so morbid as it sounds we had Simon buried deep enough so there was space on top
crazy.gif
We are now just awaiting the headstone engraving with Malic and then his ashes will be buried along with Simon.
 
Ack - Hope I don't have to PTS one for mymutts any time soon - or ever for that matter - but if I do it'll probably woods.. and headstone sounds like a great idea to me

Yes thats what i think. Its not that far away. When Simon was alive i always used to go to see him if i felt down. I can still go and see him now. The grounds are lovely and landscaped ( cost £20 a year to upkeep ) Its expensive to start with but worth it IMO.
 
My 1st dog was PTS at the vets and I then brought him home and buried him in the garden.

I think Oz would make a very good draft excluder, so maybe I should get him stuffed when his time comes!!!
