I came across two things I wanted to share with anyone that has lost a dog recently or otherwise. I have lost two in the past year. One thing is that there are some very nice urns out there for your dogs. One in particlar was different. It is a custom carved decoy that has a compartment that is sealed and waterproof. In fact you can use it in a hunting spread if you want to. You can also just display it on a pedistol that comes with it in your living room. So much more personal than just a box sitting in the closet. The other thing is a poem that I came across. I dont know who wrote it but I did copy it and will paste it here. We are so fortnate to have these animals a part of our lives. They can teach us much more than we can ever teach them. All livivng things were created spiritually first. The spirit lives forever. Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge. When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable. All the animals that had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor. Those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind. They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent. His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster. You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart. Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....

Gary, Where did you see these urns? That is really cool. Started to read the poem but had to quit. Maybe later.
