<p>[QUOTE="bercrystal, post: 2732366, member: 88"]As far as the plastic bag with a twist tie, Our Gracie was cremated & when I went to pick up her ashes I was given a small carved wooden box. I finally got the courage to open the box one day to find a velvet bag inside. I could tell that there was a plastic bag inside the velvet bag but I do not know if a twist tie is involved as I have not been brave enough to look any farther. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie17" alt=":bag:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie17" alt=":bag:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>[USER=125]@wiscbirddog[/USER] - The mental picture of someone sitting at a kitchen table using a large sterling silver serving spoon to fill each individual baggie will be stuck in my brain for a very long time. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/tongue.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":p" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/rolleyes.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/rolleyes.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" /> <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie51" alt=":hilarious:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie51" alt=":hilarious:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>[USER=14694]@Janice Nicholls[/USER] - I am surprised we did not have to do this with my son's gerbil Buzzard. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/rolleyes.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/rolleyes.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/rolleyes.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" /> We took this thing to the vet twice while we had him. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/tongue.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":p" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>The first time was because we noticed he was walking funny while he was scampering around the floor one day. My son started to cry & was all worried about him. The "official" diagnosis was possible encephalitis (inflammation of the brain) & I was given liquid antibiotics to give him 3 times a day with a TB syringe. The visit plus the meds cost about 3 to 4 times what we had paid for the gerbil in the first place. </p><p><br /></p><p>The second time was when he was scampering around the floor & started to dart under the couch.

Again the appointment cost us 3 to 4 times what we paid for the thing in the first place. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie56" alt=":jawdrop:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie56" alt=":jawdrop:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie56" alt=":jawdrop:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>I will tell you that I did end up cancelling the follow-up appointment & Buzzard was buried in the backyard several years later still sporting a stubby tail with a couple of silk stitches at the tip. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/wink.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=";)" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/tongue.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":p" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie49" alt=":happy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie49" alt=":happy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I will likely do what [USER=301]@komokwa[/USER] suggested & bury the ashes.
