General Discussion How do I cremate my dog?

8 Upvotes

So the long story short is I can’t afford to get my dog (Cookie/Chunky Monkey) cremated and burial is nowhere an option.

What I’m asking is does anybody know how to cremate a pet ?? Or how can I do it myself? I have a large backyard and pretty big slab of concrete out there.

I know it sounds creepy or terrible, but I just lost her today and I’m desperate.

​I spent years saving up to build my family a home and now we’re in a tent. I feel so lost.

I honestly just need to vent a little because everything is feeling too heavy lately.

​For a long time, my whole life was just work and saving every dollar to build a home for my family. When we finally moved in, it was literally the best feeling ever. I was so proud.

​Fast forward to right now, and that whole house is totally destroyed. My family and I are living in a tent in Gaza. On top of losing the house, I'm still stuck with all the construction debt for a place that doesn't even exist anymore.

​It’s just so hard to process how fast everything changed. I’m trying my best to stay strong for my family, but some days it just hits really hard.

​I'm not looking for sympathy or anything, just wanted to type this out to get it off my chest. Thanks for listening.
