Regretfully we lost Duchess due to old age (kidney failure...) and
elected to have her euthanized recently.

We live on acreage in the country so I burried her nearby.

But in so doing I'm curious if there are any do's or don'ts w/ respect
to burrying a pet yourself...?

For example I dug 3 feet down. I used a simple cardboard box that
would readily decompose and didn't leave her remains sealed in a
plastic bag to allow for decomposition.

I kind of went thru it a little numb so didn't really think things
thru but after the fact just wondered if there were any do's or don'ts
to learn from or keep in mind in the future.

Thanks! And yes we miss her terribly but understand it was her time.
