When my Jack Russel x King Charles Spaniel, passed away having fought breast cancer and sadly being taken by secondary Lung Cancer at the age of 13 (she passed away peacefully asleep with myself on the sofa). I could not bare to bury her becasue I didn't want to be apart from her ever. I had even concidered having her stuffed - but then thought that was a bit sick... but I just wanted to be able to stroke her forever more - but it would not have helped me let go of her.
However, I had her cremated and was not at all happy with the container she came back in it served no purpose other then to hold her. So I put up with it for nearly 3 mths whilst I continued to search for what I believed she deserved to be remembered in. The web site I eventually used was Pets eternal - They hand painted a picture of my Patches onto a lovely urn --here is the link showing you a photo of that urn

It is now been 8 mths since she passed away, still I light a candle every evening and talk to her urn - seeing her face there when I talk to her has helped me so much to realise that I was lucky she had a good, long, happy life and just went to sleep at the end - I don't think it would have been so good looking at the plain black pot she came in. I also had a star named after her in the constellation of Persues (the god of the hero's) she was and always will be my hero.
I would recomend the urn and the star to anyone who has lost a dear canine friend as I now feel so close to her with her face on her urn at home & whenever I am out I have her star to look for.
The star was only £50 & the Urn was only £97 (inc p&p). It was worth every penny as they both bring me so much comfort in her absence. That is a picture of her in my avatar.
Soul mates.
We hoped this time would never come.
We'd hope not to be here.
But time and tide would wait no more
To raise our greatest fear.
For in it's haste it took a pal
But time, they say, will mend
The sadness that we feel right now
Towards a loyal friend.
For a friend you were but never spoke.
Could make us cry and laugh.
Asked for little, gave a lot,
Until this final path.
We will always remember the happy times
Before this day grew nigh.
Now there's only one thing left to say
That's "Thanks old friend...Goodbye"
In loving memory of Patches
