Of course, as everyone else has noted, it is difficult to have to make decisions like this about the loss of our beloved family pet. We have had several dogs over the course of our marriage but this one was truly special, and we knew we wanted a special keepsake/urn for her ashes. After exploring a few options, I was swayed by the many positive reviews of this company and so I made this decision. DO NOT HESITATE to order one of these urns. It just came today, and it is a class act. Very sturdy with some weight to it, screw on cap so no accidents can happen, perfectly engraved, and this small size (pewter with gold trim) was plenty big enough for our 9 lb Shih Tzu. It was packaged very carefully and arrived in just a few days. I can't speak highly enough about this urn. It is perfect, and if I could give a 10 star review, I would. Thank you so much.
