We all handle this very sad situation of losing a beloved pet in different ways which are best for us and our particular situation, but I could never put my pet out at the end of the driveway waiting for the garbage truck to come by and toss her in and continue up the street. I shudder just to think about it!

This may not work for everyone, but I guess if I had a pet die at home and I could not afford cremation and could not bury in my backyard, I'd drive to a very rural area, walk out into a field or some woods and leave her where she would hopefully lay peacefully for at least a while. I know eventually animals might come and do what comes naturally, but to me that's better than the garbage truck.

Liane, you have my sympathy at this sad time.
