I so feel for what you and your family are going through. I had to do the same thing 5 years ago. I still feel guilty, but try to remember it was the right thing to do. My Allie beagle was only 5 and shouldn't have been that sick at her age. My husband and I had been married 5 days before we lost her. I figured that if we could make it through Allie's passing, we could make it through anything.

I also had Allie cremated seperately. I refused to bury her as I knew I was not staying in that house forever. I didn't want to leave her behind when we moved.

There are some good websites out there to help deal with the loss of pets. If you have never read The Rainbow Bridge, I will get a copy to you.

I am so sorry for your loss and I hope you know your dog will always be with you.
