The vet may actually still have the dog.
It could still be in the freezer awaiting pickup by the crematorium. It really depends on how busy that vet is and what size their freezers are.

That is so sad! I know how you feel Marc. My grandfather had to put his cat of 18 years to sleep because she couldn't be vaccinated without being sedated (mean ol'bitch she was), but it hurt him so bad. My grandmother (his wife) couldn't understand why he didn't immediately throw away all her toys and cat box.
You know what I did? I told her exactly why he didn't. Because he loved her!! How would she feel if, the day after she died he just threw out all her things because she was dead. Not here so doesn't need them. She's never bonded with an animal before so she doesn't understand. She thinks she has some sort of understanding but she admits she just can't feel that way about an animal.
My mother to this DAY cannot look at a Dauchsand without busting into tears at the memories of our dog Macheun. She had that dog 2 years before I was born and she survived my toddler years without even making a small snap at me. Like you said marc she just growled when I got too close to her bed. Mom loved that dog and I was just as sad when she died.
Now I've got my baby, Bizzy. She turned 6 this year and I hope to keep her around until she's 20 if I can pull it. I talk to her, she talks to me, she sleeps with me, and she constantly wants to be with me. Its a love I can't fathom but enjoy and am enriched by everyday I come home and she's waiting for me at the door. The day she dies, I will be a nervous wreck for who knows how long.
So tell your parents. Do it in a rational way since they have the "its just a dog" mentality. You can compare it to something they treasure, could be anything, even something not alive. They know what it means to have something mean the world to them, so thats my 2 cents.
Hey, dogs really ARE family. I really feel bad for you, dudeQuote:

XXXWriter, thanks i may use that :)
I feel very sad for you, MarcJacob.
My furry friends have always meant more to me than people, and I do understand (the heartbreak as well the frustration).
My dad was looking after Leo, my malamute puppy. I stressed to him to not walk him off-leash, which he did.
I came home after a trip, anxious to see my pup, only to be met with the horrible news that he ran away.
For 10-days I walked around Millwoods (where I used to live), posting notices and calling out for him.
On the eleventh day he slipped. I was eating, and getting read to go out to continue looking for Leo when he said something that sounded like I dressed him and placed him beside Suzy (yes ...& the Banshees) ...
I moved out of Millwoods as well I did not see or speak to him for close to one year! I now only "talk" @ him out of respect for my moms!
As for the burying loved ones in the backyard - we do it also, whether or not law "allows".
A stray dog i'd grown attached to for months was taken to a pound and, I can only assume, was put to sleep later on while I was at school. Yes, by my parents. I mean letting me get attatched to her, and then to just take her away while my back was turned ... That sucked.Quote:
