My dog gets put to sleep. They cremate him, I have his ashes and I'm wondering what am I gonna do with them.
I was thinking, I can keep his ashes in his urn, in which I thought was just right
for my baby. Or take his ashes and put it in a build a bear. Does this sound strange?

I'm thinking, when I want to hold him, holding my bear would make me feel good. I'd take care of it like it was alive. Although I know he's not alive anymore and it's not like I'm gonna talk to it. Okay, I might talk to it. I mean, it's been a month since he was put to sleep and I don't know what to do. I miss him so much and then I hear my mother saying we're gonna bury his ashes in the yard. And I'm like NO! I feel like I'd rather have him near me. So I think, being the mother of this dog, that I should have my say and do what I want with it.

So I've been thinking about it. I wonder if that's such a good idea. It might make me feel better, seeing the bear on my bed, knowing inside is a part of Booboo.
I mean, is this strange or what?

I think you should spread them over his favorite doggy park. If he had one. But the bear idea creeps me out.
I regret not getting my beloved cat's ashes when he passed. I would buy the urn and talk to it. I don't think you're weird. My two kitties are my babies.
It's your dog and your relationship. Do what you would like to do. Nothing wrong with changing your mind later on.
Hmm...well if I were to spread out the ashes, it would be in the neighborhood he grew up in. I was thinking of that. But I guess since the wounds have yet to heal, I'm still wondering what to do. I just want to hold on to something, I guess.
Thanks everyone. I appreciate it.
