Our old lad is on his run-down sadly, but when his time eventually comes it raises the question of what do we do with him. We don't have enough garden at the house to bury him in the garden, and the allotment is only rented, so we don't want to leave him there for future renters to dig up!
One of our friends has had 3 of his golden retrievers cremated(via the vet's) and has them at home in nice wooden caskets, (not my personal cup of tea tho') I'd still prefer burial for him in one of his favorite places. however, I went to have a word with said friend yesterday and he opened one of the boxes to show me the contents, needless to say (I didn't though!) the contents no-way resembled ashes, in fact they looked suspiciously the same as the bags of coral sand that I used to buy for my marine aquarium - they were white, granular, completely uniform in size and shape and looked to be about 5lb's of them! - I strongly suspect all is not doggy! and I'm not paying £300 for something that isn't my best mate!
Question is, how can I be sure we are really getting our mate's ashes back, and any other idea's about how or where we would be allowed to bury him on what would probably be public ground.
Ta - any idea's?
