We bury it down at the bottom of the garden. It's a pet cemetry down there.

We had a cat and a dog cremated. their ashes are in nice little wooden boxes with their names engraved and birthdates and dates when they passed. This way if we moved we could take them with us.

When my pet (MALE) hamster died because that slut of a female i brought him bit him to death i buried him in the park next to my house. it was under a tree...it was really sad. Wanna know what happened with the girl...well she died as well because i threw her out my window...i really didnt love her, she only had one day living with me.

I don't remember what my parents did with the pets when we were kids. As for now, haven't had a pet die yet but I don't think I want to bury them in the yard. Just too sad to go by the spot where they lay every day and know that they are there. Would probably find a pet cemetery or have it cremated.

throw it in the garbage.

When my big male cat had to be put to sleep, I had him cremated, then later scattered his ashes in this little patch of woods near my house. He had escaped once, and spent a week on 'vacation' in those woods. It soothed me to think his spirit might still be romping and playing there, eating pine needles like he liked to do. :)

Ive cremated mine.

We have several cats, two possums and three dogs buried in our back yard. When I had to have my old horse put down, the man who owned the property where I kept him allowed an excavator in to dig a huge hole and buried him where he lay.

My First German Shepherd I buried in the woods we played in her younger compadre lived until she was fifteen, and she was cremated . She was buried with my husband last week,. Sounds bizarre but it was his wish that her ashes went with him and fur and both dog leads, and they were MY dogs protected me but loved him best. My horses obviously had to be taken away and smaller animals were all buried.

We lost 2 cats, Brownie and Rachel to idiot drivers, melody our duck to a domesic bird type of AIDS. We have a cemetary on the side of our yard. We make tombstones with there names and births. All of these animals were born with us there and actually had to help our momma cat, Pepper deliver brownie. He was stuck in her and a vet told us to help her. Very sad!

This has happened as recent as this weekend. We built a pire, about two truck loads of wood, about 15 feet high, in the middle of the back pasture, and burned the body 'till there was nothing left but ash. Next fall, we will plant a tree at ground zero. This will serve as a headstone. BTW, this is what my will reads for myself, as well.

Hike up the large hills behind the house and bury them there deep enough for the coyotes not to bother them.

When I was little we could bury out pets, from the dogs to the guinea pigs and hamsters and fish, in this flowerbed around in the middle of our circular patio. We would then plant a specific "flower" or bush overtop them to mark where they were...needless to say, there are a LOT of plants and flowers there now! :)

Send it to the dump. Sure I liked it, but I believe animals have no soul and therefore when they die, they are done. So off they go.

I have a pet cemetary next to my daughter's old playhouse in the back yard. Its gotten rather full (5 dogs, 2 birds, 1 hamster). All other dead animals get buried in the garden so they can push up tomatos in the spring. My daughter also believed that she had a 'bad' older brother who had gotten buried in the garden -- cuz' that's where all the 'dead things go'.

Feed it to whatever replaces it, so it's soul and experiences are passed on to the next generation, eventually creating an Über Pet. Also, tiny cannibalistic kittens are so cute.

You know. I have read some of these answers and think they are full of crap. Some people live in cities. Where the F are you gonna bury it! Even living in the country you'd be worried about some critter diggin' it up. Do as you please but for me it would be down to the local SPCA crematorium. And I'm talking about dogs, cats and horses. Not hamsters.

I give everything back to the Earth from where it came ... As is with food and vegie waste, I compost back to the soil ... Do humans really imagine that other life species have not a spirit? ... Something which has given me so much pleasure from unconditional love and happiness deserves the same if not more respect in death as ones enemies would get ... I bury my pets. Peace.
