Am I Crasy

We lost our sheepie Eilish two years ago last month, she had bone cancer, and we couldn't do anything for her. I had her cremated, I keep her lovely casket inmy cabinet. It is my wish that when my time comes I want her to be laid beside me. I have been called crasy, morbid, and a lot more, but it's what I want. Am I alone in wanting this, am I crasy? I would love to hear from anyone who might have the same feelings.

I lost my Fergie at 6 1/2 months old. 2005 Nov. I have her ashes and plan on takeing her with me where ever I go. Mix my ashes mixed with hers.

No your not crazy, I want her with me always :hearts:
I don't think that is crazy or morbid. I think you should do what you want to honor her memory and maintain your connection. Don't let anyone make you feel bad about what is a very personal decision. Your Eilish must have been a very special dog. :hearts:
I don't think it's crazy; however, no one will be laying in my casket except me, and myself, and I. :D

All the power to ya though. I want my husband and upright children next to me. I love my dog(s), but I don't care what my parents or whoever is left alive does with the ashes. I won't even care if I'm buried all by my lonesome.. My SIL has her dog's ashes over her fireplace right now, but I can definitely see my family thinking she was weird if she wanted her dog being buried with her.
NO...you are not crazy! I think it's a lovely idea to have your beloved sheepie at your side when you leave this earth. After all...it was probably her favourite place when she was here.

If it is something you desire just make sure that everyone that would have any say in the matter knows what you want (better yet put it in writing in your will).

Eilish sounds like she was well loved! A very lucky girl that blessed her mom's life. Thank you for sharing a part of that with us.
No you are definitely not crazy. If that is your wishes then noone should object.
I want to have the ashes made into a ring like that website that someone posted awhile back.
Thank's everyone for your nice replies, it has given me some comfort to know I'm not alone, I still miss getting up in the morning, and finding Eilish next to the bed, couldn't see her eyes under the hair, but knew she was watching, and ready to give me a big wet kiss, she just loved to wash my face :D . I am ready now to share the same happiness with my next sheepie, and I know we will go through all the same routine as I did with Eilish. It's nice to know I'm not mad after all.

No Maureen, you are not mad, it is love, :hearts: it is as simple as that. :D
True loves are something to be charished forever. How ever you feel most comfort living with it.
Hi,

I don't think you're crazy and many of the members here know exactly how you feel. They may have passed but will live forever in our hearts and minds.

A while ago someone posted that with new technology you can have the ashes made into a pendant or a diamond ring. Some people are having this done with the ashes of their family members or of their pets (whom are family members too.)

I still have the ashes of many of my pets, thinking I would spread them in the yard one day but after 3-4 years I have still been unable to do that. I also considered what you mentioned.

We all grieve in different ways and find what best makes us feel the most comfortable with.

Last night I spoke to a friend whom had lost her beloved cat to the recent tainted pet food. She said I will never get over this loss and will never be able to go through this again. She said she would never get another pet for that reason.

I responded that I was devastated with the loss of each of my pets that passed and how I got over it was to help another of it's kind. Never to replace as each are special and unique. With the passing of one it allowed me to help another and in some ways to honor the one that passed.
I told her the story of one tiny black cat whom had been at the shelter for over a year. Bypassed by so many as she was unassuming, black and a little shy ..strikes against her but blessed with a wonderful personality that most never saw in her tiny cage.

An hour later my friend called..she wanted her. She realized that my words rang true. Her loss would be healed by helping another and not to replace the one that was lost but to honor her.

Today, I called and her son through his tears told me his new cat was sitting quietly on his lap. She was helping him grieve and they needed each other. The little black cat whom waited in the shelter for over a year finally has her forever home.

I apologize as I didn't mean to ramble on but you sound as if you have such a kind generous heart that perhaps one day you may consider opening a bit of your heart up to help another.

You've come to the right place as all of us here know the love of a sheepie is so very special.

Hugs to you

Marianne
I don'r think you are crazy AT ALL!!

Over 10 years agog I got divorced and moved from my home, of all the things I lost during that time one of the hardest was moving from the house KNOWING my beloved Cocker Spainal, Buffy, was buried in the back yard. To this day I feel like I abandoned him.
I ditto everyone else's sentiments here - I'm guessing the people who think you are crazy don't have dogs - people who don't have dogs just don't understand - you do whatever makes you happy xxx
I think it's wonderful. Some people just don't get it, that your pets are a part of your family. I wanted to be buried with my dogs on our property in northern MI (2 are already buried there) but will probably end up in my husbands family plot.
