The ashes will be in metal box and can be dealt with whenever. No need to dig a deep grave
they can be scattered in a garden, along a path you used to walk along, or in a park you used to
to go to. Dont beat yourself up. She is gone but will live on in your heart.
A sad but simple truth the more you guys loved each other the more you will hurt and that is
O.K.. BTW when they return her ashes do not go for any upselling of urns and such if necessary
have a friend there who can say no.
Check with your vet I am sure there are pet grief groups around you area and maybe a pet shelter
might need somebody like you to spend time their dogs.

Hugs I'm so sorry for your loss. I have never waited more than 7 days for the return of ashes. I prefer cremation

This happened to me years ago, but I know my little doggie was with me in spirit by my side.
