Bulldogs World

When I lost my Delilah this past June it just shook us to the core.  I found this site and ordered an urn for her.  It is stunning!  The one we purchased is a revolving octagon with poem and a place for many photos.  It is beautiful...

This is a hard one here. When I lose Loulou I am going to have her stuff. She is truly my heartdog. I have had others but not like Loulou. If I would ever had decide to cremate her I thought of taking some ashes and have them put in a glass stone/hourglass and wear them around my neck. But since she has became my world and I don't want to go on without her. I know this day will come. I will keep her forever with me. The others has told you what you can get. Even some type of necklace is something to think about. I'm so sorry for your lost. Glad he is back home with you.

OK, so I'm a planner!  Stella's not gone yet but I already plan on putting her ashes in this very cool vintage bulldog cookie jar that my hubby bought for me years ago.  I will probably put her tags in there and a piece of her blankie.

You could go on eBay and look for a container of some sort (jar, box, etc.) that you like that would be big enough to fit his ashes.  My thinking is that the object is a decorative piece that I enjoy visually but that is still bulldoggy and worthy of my girl.

Again, I'm so, so sorry about Bubba.  I know how much he meant to you.  Those pics of you with him in the ER still haunt me and bring me great sadness.  I hope finding a final resting place for him will bring you some comfort.

I'm sorry for your loss of sweet Bubba. We'll be keeping our pets ashes and when one of us goes, our ashes will probably be spread together in the ocean.

I lost my boy Rocky 10 months ago, I have his ashes in a bulldog urn that has his collar around the neck, he is sitting in my livingroom where i can see him everyday, and talk to him every day, I would keep his ashes close to you . Did you get his paw print done?  i know when i brought my boy back home it made me feel complete again, just knowing that he was back home makes it a little bit easier, hope your heart is healing .

in hadley mass their is a place that will put your dogs ashes in blown glass...i have a couple of vases and some paper weights...their beautiful....

I actually kind of ended up with Bubba's pawprint by accident, although I am SO glad I did.   For the past few months, I had considered getting a tattoo of his shrunken pawprint.  The day after he passed, I realized I would never have the chance to get his print so my cousin called the ER vet. For some reason, I envisioned it being in ink, one dimensional so when I picked up the plaster, two dimensional one I was SO excited.   I find it extremely comforting to be able to pick it up, put my hand in it, or hold it close to my heart.   Bubba was my first dog, my old child (2 or 4 legger), and my everything for almost 10 years.  

Please know that I really appreciate all the advice and suggestions.  I hope and believe that in time I will know exactly what to do with his ashes.  Currently, his pawprint is on my nightstand.  I have let go of most of his stuff but kept his leash, favorite 2 toys, and crate (which I covered with a rug and he used a step once he was potty trained).   

Lastly, I recently moved a new apartment that is not pet friendly and although it pains me to say, I am planning on waiting a year to get a new puppy.  I truly believe that is the best decision for me.  However, I am fortunate enough to have a mom with a two bullies - 1.5 year old brother and sister.  Although they lives in FL and I am in MA, I see them every few months and just returned from 12 days enjoying everything bully.   The one thing that really got me and I wasn't expecting was when I heard Tyson snore....a sound I hadn't heard in 6 weeks. 

Once again, thank you for your words of sympathy (and wisdom).  

the place is called Art from Ashes      web page is www.ArtFromAshes.com  phone is 413-303-1793....you do not have to go their...they send you an envelope which you mail to them.....after picking out your pc....no two are ever alike as each one is done separtley

its well worth it...i am slowly doing all my deceased pets....as i find this beautiful...and less heartbreaking than a box with a picture....

She died about a year after Chief and I buried them together.

I've got two of my boys in a urn in my livingroom, in my display cupboard. It didn't feel right to have them somewhere else.

There are a ton of options I think.  There are a lot of different varieties of pet keepsakes that will hold some of Bubba's ashes.  If you aren't ready to approach his ashes why not do something like a photo engraved pendant or keychain so you can still have him 'with' you?  The ashes can wait til you're ready but this is kind of a nice interim solution.  I've bought the following - actually of living pets for Christmas gifts - but you can do for pets that have passed too.  I like that you have a lot of options - some of the pendants will actually hold ashes so you could do a pic and then when ready add some of his ashes...so sorry - stinks!  pet photo pendants
