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.
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.
BB, your vet is awesome - how thoughtful! I can across these websites yesterday - some more options. It's 7 links that come under the heading " Urns, Memorials, Keepsakes " halfway down the page. Sorry, it is in amoungst alot of other shopping websites. homepage.mac.com/mattocks/morfz/rabshop.html
