[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 589835, member: 84"] Well........believe it or not, I actually have a random act of awesome to share..........although it's sort of an odd circumstance. You all know how Molly, Rowdy, and Betsy all crossed the Rainbow Bridge in less than 2 weeks time. Being winter and the ground frozen solid, burial couldn't be considered. Plus they were each rather large dogs.......... Cremation is not cheap for a dog, by the way. It's 100.00 here. That was 300.00 in less than 2 weeks. We only have one person who does cremation who also does animals. It happens to be the same place that handled husband's cremation ect. This is a private family owned funeral home with an excellent reputation. Among the county's poor they have an even better reputation as they will work with anyone and literally bend over backward to give a nice funeral and keep it within a family's budget.
