1. because my dog is going to be corn!
2. My dad burned down his doghouse!

    My dog died when I was on vacation, and my dad (who was home) cremated him. I never got to say goodbye and I didn’t have anything to bury. I was really devastated and still miss him so much (and he died almost three years ago).
    What I did, was I made a little memorial for him in our yard. I made a nice arrangement of rocks and I sometimes put flowers there, or just go there to think about him.
    It’s really hard to get over the loss of a pet, and I still am not over mine. But I keep his old collar in my room where I can see it every day.
    Those things help me feel a little better.
    And don’t feel bad about people planting over his grave. The only thing buried there is the shell that used to hold his soul. Your dog is in doggy heaven now.
    Another thing that helped me to get over my dog was when we bought another puppy about a year after he passed away. We got the same breed and close to the same color. My new puppy was in no way a replacement for my old dog, but he was there to make us happy. And he did. I can see similarities in my dog Rexx’s personality and my old dog Chester’s personality.
    Good Luck. I hope this can help you.

    There are several ways to cope, and as long as you are moving on (yet not forgetting your dog and friend), you are going to be okay. It will hurt a little less each day.
    I would:
    Be happy in the fact knowing that your dog went back to the earth, and that his or her spirit will live on — even if in the stalks of corn.
    Make a photo album celebrating your dog’s life. Pictures of you, the family, all centered on your lost loved one.
    Wait a respectful time to your dog that has passed, allowing time to grieve fully, before even thinking about getting another dog.

    i totally understand your feelings,and i would feel the same way too,maybe even worse,because your pet-in this case a dog-is more than just a pet,he is a part of your family,a part of your lives.and your reasons to be outraged are completely natural.but try not to feel sad or angry.the fact that you loved your dog enough to feel for him/her even now that he’s gone should be comforting.remind yourself that you loved and cared for him once,and still do now.and I’m sure your dog knows that very well.it doesn’t matter what happens to his body,because nothing can hurt his soul-it will remain intact.i hope my words are soothing you.
