OH my Miyuki you  made a beautiful figurine.   I thought something had happened since you had hay you wanted to send out. 

You know this is a good idea. asking about what to do with remains.   After Laith was whatever you call it after death and they are cut into and looked at to see how the organs were and what was wrong with him.    AFfer that hubby put him in the freezer.  I found him a few months ago.

I didn't want to bury him here.  I put him in the garbage.  Sounds bad I know. I figure even with myself that the life force is gone when we pass on.  The body is no longer needed or useful.    Actually I really didn't know what to do with it.  The back area is wooded and weeded and ugly.  I didn't want him there.  I guess where his body went is just as bad tho.

I had dreams with Laith that he forgave me his passing and that certainly helped.  I felt bad for putting him down but he was in pain and hunched up a lot.

Having found out about creamation for pets I might look into it.  I dont' know if it would make me sad having the remains in a little urn or not.  I could try it and see.  That is in the future tho.  Hopefully my little darlings will live long and healthy lives.

And Miyuki I sure hope you are able to get another bunny.  I know it hurts right now. In time perhaps you will.

I think this is a good thread. Sad, yes, but something we have to think about and I've valued reading everyone's decisions.

I used to bury all our pets in the yard by the roses, it was outside of the fence so my nosey dog couldn't investigate and unearth anyone. It's been almost 6 years since I lost anyone and our neighborhood has changed. People let their dogs and cats run loose and they get into everything now.

I think I will have my furbabies cremated and bury/scatter their ashes on our gravesite. My husband passed away in 2003 and our cemetary is absolutely beautiful, large overhanging oaks, thick grass, well taken care of. You can sit out there on a nice day and see wild bunnies, songbirds, hawks, squirrels everywhere. Beside just being an awe inspiring location, they really will be waiting for me ;-)

I agree with Sarita, it's scary to go home at 3 cats (5,12 and 17 years old), 18 year old dog, 4 & 1 year old piggies, 6 rabbits ranging from 7 to 2 yrs old. I always hold my breath if someone is slow to come greet me. I was owned by my horse for 33 years. I finally had to put her to sleep in 2001 at the age of 49 and that was unbelievably hard. I got her when I was 16 and lost her when I was 49 (I laughed about us being the same age)

Again, thanks for bringing up a necessary subject, it's really helped me.
My Bunny Burrow is full! Pringles & Toby, Daisy & Lola, and my senior citizens Hershey & Simba.
The piggies are back, add Brownie and Sweetpea to the mix.

When Trixie passed we laid her to rest in our backyard. She had one favorite spot she'd always run to when we let her out with us. It was just a small dip in the back corner. Nothing special. Nothing but grass. But she always spend her time there. So it just seemed right to lay her to rest there. We wrapped her in her favorite blanket.

Scamp, my dog, isn't doing too good. He's 12 this year and has just recently been stricken with a neurological disorder which leaves him constantly acting like he's dizzy and stumbling to the side. Our vet said there's nothing more that can be done other than giving him motion sickness medicine. We're going to tuff it out as long as he can stand it, but when his time comes I believe we'll have him cremated. There's a swimming hole I always take him to and he just loves it every time we go. I know burying him there isn't an option, but spreading his ashes there would be.

Miyuki - that is a beautiful figurine!  Reminds me of a figurine that Mimzmum and her daughter made for me to honor Rucy.  I have it sitting on a shelf in the bunnyroom near Rucy's urn.

I had buried my first bunny, Forrest, but since then I really will always do the cremation because I can figure out a better resting place especially since I may not always be at the place I live.

These are the urns that I get back from the vets  - I am waiting  to figure out what to do with the ashes exactly, but for now the little cedar boxes are pretty and I like having them in the bunnyroom. Makes me feel closer to Rucy and Bailey. (sort of morbid, I know).

And then my husband bought me this little Fairy Bunny Keeper Figurine box in a local gift shop.. This is where I put Bailey's fur that the vet had tied in a little yellow silk bow for me.  I wish we would have done that with Rucy's fur, as I would have added it in the little box. I don't know why I didn't even think of it. I think I was just so shocked...it just passed me by.

Scooter here. Binkybunny, that is a very pretty figurine, and I really like the tuft of fur tied in a ribbon. I wish we'd thought of that for Keiran and Reno, but we can do that for the rest when their times come. It's definitely a lot easier to have something from "real" than ashes.

We've never opened ourselves the urn where Reno's and Keiran's ashes are held, and in fact asked them to seal the lid shut with silicone gum when Reno's was added. That way it can be opened if and when we add more, but it won't slip open. I guess I just don't want to see the ashes themselves. And besides, it looks like, well, grey powder. Hard to remind oneself of the bunny compared to the fur in a ribbon!

Those are pretty boxes BB! The one I got was... bad. I didn't want to see the ashes so I just took the little container and slipped it into a bigger urn which is actually a photo cube. That's also a nice little figurine box!
