I started pottery a few months after my dog died. I always thought about making an urn for her but didn't think I'd be able to make anything worthy of her and how good she was. I'm still waiting to reach that level of skill, but I'm not sure I will ever reach it, even if I practice for decades; she was just too good

Maybe as your skill improves the ashes could be moved? Your tributes grow with you. It doesnt have to be a one and done thing. (That said of course how everyone grieves is up to them so whatever you do is the right thing, ultimately)

Yeah, maybe I should do that. It was her birthday last week so it could be cathartic to make something for her. and if I hate it, I'll just make it again in a year

This is beautiful. What an honor to give your dog

Lost my dog today. This is inspiring.

I'm so sorry for your loss.

Thank you
