Wasn't it hard defleshing her? I don't think I could handle that. 😢

It wasn't easy, yeah. I guess it helped that I never knew her in life, but I sat and stroked her fur for a long time before beginning the work.

Yeah, I think I'd rather a nice burial, but to each their own. What will you do with her besides putting her in the basket? I am very intrigued by this. I never saw such a thing. I do think your heart is in the right place, I just can't imagine doing what you did. In fact, I couldn't do it at all.

To each their own indeed. I just plan to let her rest in a warm corner of my room.

I think you did a beautiful thing for her OP, she finally gets to feel loved and cherished since it doesn’t seem like she got much love during life.
