subject: Cremation Pet Urns [print this page] The loss of a pet can hurt a family or a pet owner very deeply. This is especially true if the pet was brought into the family from birth. The fact is that having a pet, usually a cat or a dog around the house is like having another baby or a child around. Indeed, many people raise pets when they don't have children to raise. Pets mean so much to people, that it has been medically proven that pet owners live happier lives. They offer us their attention, affection, and they give us a reason to love, and to live. Picking up after them, feeding them, bathing and caring for them becomes part of our daily routine. So when they leave us in death, its only natural that we will want to find a way to honor them, and to keep them around.
