    I lost my first fur baby this morning after getting violently sick throughout the night. She was nearly 16 years old and had been my sidekick everyday since we adopted her. Now I have a 6 year old that's grown up with her. I don't know how to break it to her, but this video has given me peace in how to take care of my little Peechez from here. Thank you

    Just a small tip: remember if you bury them in a fabric of some sorts, to not pick a fabric made of synthetic fibers. They can take up to 200 years to decompose. So do try to pick a better alternative, like cotton or wool. ❤️

    Sunday, I lost my very very best friend of 14 years. His name was Jaybone.
    He was a beautiful lab retriever and border collie mixture.
    Smart and very loving.😢
    He was sick. He had a large tumor removed from his tail last summer. He recovered amazingly even at 13 years. Over the winter months another tumor began and in addition smaller lumps appeared on his head. I knew his time was perhaps coming to an end. From runs to trots, to walking and having difficulty getting up a few steps.
    The last 2 weeks his breathing went from normal to heavy panting.
    All I wanted for him was to be comfortable.
    I buried him in our backyard a couple hours after everyone said their goodbyes. So hard.
    Thank you for the video ❤

      I lost my friend Mimo recently like that too. He quickly learned to scale the backyard fence to go play with the neighbor's dogs. He found his way on the road one day after 10years. As an owner, i feel, I could have made better decisions. When God created the dog species its like he took his time. "Ye we gonna give tis one here unwavering loyalty, some bravery, unconditional love, absolute happyness, and a care free way of life." Chefs kiss. We truly don't deserve dogs. Rest in peace loved friend.💙

    When the vet said my 16 year old dog was going to pass in a few days i was set on a professional cremation. But his last 2 days my boy just loved being in his backyard laying in the sun and going to his water bowl. Thats when i knew that burying him in his garden which he loved was the right thing to do. This video was so helpful and compassionate.

    Hello, I burred out family pet. The kids and I made a wooden box. I used caulking to seal the sides to not allow bugs to creep in.... but.. I think that was what was supposed to happen. There is a little cervices I kept open for air. Very slight. My kids wanted it sealed. I knew we needed some air flow. Should I uncover the top of the little casket and drill wholes to allow more air circulation? Or is the very limited I have now ok. The box is made out of particle board plywood. It will degrade, but.. should I still make the holes? Thank you for nay insight. Anyone. Thank you so much or your time:)

    I just had to bury a 65 pound dog which required a large hole. Unfortunately it hadn't rain in so long the ground was very hard even with a tiller. The grave is quite shallow. What I've been doing is to pour ammonia over the grave to keep other animals away and at night I lay a garbage can on its side over the grave. I'll repeat this for a few days. I hope this will be fine.
