She's definitely been part of our family the most.
I'm just asking for thoughts and prayers because this is a very hard decision for me.
Thank you.

Hey Christy...i'm incredibly sorry to hear about Candy
What I can tell you is that pretty much everyone I know (family and friends) have had their long time pets creamated when it came time to make the decision. It isn't unusual and I don't find there's anything wrong with that. Some have kept the ashes while others have burried them and eventually planted flowers overtop. I only know of one friend of mine that burried their pet in their backyard. For me, that would be heartwrenching (even moreso than the ashes). I think it's to your comfort level and the decision you make should be based on what you feel. All the best...
