I had my cat put down last week at the vet in Rusk, that I had never used before and let them handle the disposal. I didn't care for the ashes as I just wanted it over with. Just opening the mail as I'm reading this post and get a card from vet's office. I couldn't believe that 12 different employees of the office wrote a personal note on the card. Glad I chose to do it the way I did now as I didn't stick around while it was being done.

Call in an anonymous tip to the cops telling them there's a body buried in your back yard. They'll come and do the digging for you; problem solved.

looks like your sons 16 year old mutt would deserve better than you just throwing it in a trash can. Hell pay a neighborhood kid $5 or so bucks to dig a hole.

Sounds like you were not tight with the dog. My boxer dogs get a spot on the back 10 ... with companions. They were great friends. Dig a deep hole. No way I would throw a dog in the trash. To answer the question.... I have a dumpster at my place.... dead animals are a no no. If it was... these dirt lappers out here would be throwing dead horses in a dumpster.

No I used a shovel on ours.
But I have dug many holes for others to bury their animals with the backhoe.

Thanks for all the offers to help. Son dig the hole Saturday after I started with an outline. At my house I have to bury them deep or the coyotes will dig up the carcass. After I washed my truck I went out to check his progress. Until then I had completely forgot that he was in a walking boot with 3 broke toes. Buried Goliath this morning. I lost the best watchdog I ever had. He lived much longer than most large breeds but still tough.

RIP

And to think you even considered a trash can, WTH. Some people.......

Growing up, I didn�t realize until I was about thirteen that chunking our dead pets off the bridge as we drove over the lake was considered abnormal.

This explains much... oh so much.
