My father in law toy poodle passed away last night. This dog was like a child to him. I gave him the number to a place where they will cremate your pet and you can keep the ashes, or they will spread them on their farm. Well he brought the dog there this am, while he was waiting in the waiting room the worker came out and said that they were allset to enter the room. When the walked into the room, there was Cheri (the dog) laying on a bed, head on a pillow and a silk robe laying over her body. They hold wakes for pets!! I had no idea. Had I known I would have gone and brought my chihuahua with me who's only friend was this poodle.


I couldn't help but laugh when he was telling me the story. He said he actually collapsed into tears when he saw her, and actually cried harder at that than when his own mother died.


I just had to share this story. Thanks Liz

I'm sorry for his loss. I love the idea of a wake for a pet!
