What do you do when your dog dies at home? Well, I gave her a bath and made sure that she was clean, then I wrapped her up in a warm blanket, placed her in her favorite bed, went outside and picked some flowers and then tucked her in in her favorite window for the night. I took some of her fur and we made tiny footprints.
The place we chose to privately cremate Paris is right near our home so we drove Paris over there ourselves as a family, one last time. In the car she loved hanging out the window of.
It made it easier in a way. I got to take care of her one more time. I made sure she was perfect before she left us. Some people might find it weird that I’m sharing this, but I want other people to know what I did, in case they are ever in this situation. The feeling of panic and what to do with their body can be overwhelming, I want you to know that if your pet needs to spend the night in your home after they pass, it’s perfectly normal. And it is doable. You can handle It.
