After my Blue was killed by a car (driving instructor between appointments!), I took him deep into our favourite woods, where he'd been really happy, and buried him there.

It was really tough, but I think it's best to let go.

My golden Max past away last November at the age of 14.
We got him cremated and or intention was to buried him on his favourite spot in the Garden
But when the time came my son was crying because he didn't wanted Max to stay there alone on the dark so to this day he is still at home with us on his little urn and first thing in the morning and Las thing at. night i give the urn a little tap so still feels like he is here

i buried my penny in my garden and my dad made her a beutiful wooden coffin which we laid her into with her favourite toys and and blanket and we chisled her name into it

My first dog was buried in my parents' garden and a rose planted over him (I had no garden of my own when he died);  my Lab girl was buried in their garden (mine at that time was 6 inches of topsoil over miles of chalk), but they moved seven years later so I had to move her to my own garden (bones in a raised bed in clay).  Couldn't get my first boy though, which is a great pity.  My late Mum's cavvie's ashes and my latest boy's ashes are in my house now, and I have left instructions in my will that they are to go into my grave in a woodland burial - I hope I'll have my Lab's bones in a 'coffin' in time for her to be with us, too. Oh to have a 'family home' which would last for generations and have a special area for non-human loved ones!

The modern likelihood of family moving not only around the country but around the world means we have opted to have no permanent graves ourselves.

I opt for straight disposal for the dogs. I prefer to remember them as they were and have lots of photos etc of them when alive.  I do hang photos with their dates on one wall.

My friend and neighbour has now got over half a dozen little wooden coffins of her dogs remains and wishes she had never started this as feels now she has to do it for each.

In my under 25 years of dog ownership I have already lost 4, and have five living here now, with another likely to be added every 2 - 4 years.

I would agree, but the first dog died in his sleep at home many years ago before canine cremation was around, and burial in one's own garden was the only option (well, maybe an alternative was the dustbin, but who'd do that?).  My Lab was pts at home by a vet who resented having to make a home visit on a weekend, so he left me with my dead dog and his bill but no advice or concern as to what to do with her!  Also some years ago now and cremation not widely available for pets. 

Now that cremation is an option for dogs the last two were cremated.

My circumstances have only allowed me to be a serial dog owner, I'd have loved to have had more, and multi-dogs too, but it was not possible.  I still have lots of photos, and a portrait in pastels, too!
