Where do you bury your pets?

On Long Island there is a pet semetary called Bid-a-Wee. When my Boxer Clyde died 15yrs. ago I had him burried there. They put him in a coffin and we even have a headstone.

My last hound, Loose, a doberman / rotweiler cross was cremated. This is his resting ground on the farm, his ashes in an urn on a little rocky outcrop high on the property.
I often sit at this spot and remember my old pal.

There is a face in your picture at the top, just left of centre and what looks like a blurred hatchet/axe above and to the right of it.

I found the urn after that.
 
I had to have my cat Hazel (first pet other than budgies and gerbils) put down in Aug. 2002. She had kidney problems and we did everything we could to keep her healthy, but it was just too much for her. She would have died the day we put her down one way or another, but I like to think we made it easier for her.

We cremated her and her remains are in an oak box on the book shelf in the living room. If I had buried her I was going to bury her out in the Red River Gorge somewhere. My wife and I were renting a house at the time and I didn't want her getting dug up for somebody's garden.

I think we will probably cremate all of our pets from here on out, though the logistics of having all of these little boxes and urns will have to be worked out.
 
I am a stability type person and will most likely die while living in the house I live in now.

My back yard is almost one acre of fenced in woods. The trees (except for 3) are all hardwoods over 80 feet tall.


There are three Dog Wood tress back there marking the graves of the dogs I have owned since I left my parents house to go to school. Sam, Gretta and Luna are burried under those dog woods.
 
We have 6 1/2 acres so I try to find a place where I think they would like to be. For instance, if they always liked a certain part of the property I try to put them there. I have burried more than 18 animals over the course of 15 years here ranging from cats, dogs, goats, pot bellied pigs. None of them were easy to do but at least they have decent resting places. Does more for my wife and I than obviously them.
