I arose earlier than usual this morning to begin the first stage of burying a cat. Off and on, throughout the night, I had strategized the best method, especially in this frigid weather which appeared to be too much for one of our cats late yesterday afternoon. First, I planned to take the cat in the carrier, where I'd wrapped her almost lifeless body with a warm towel and set a heater directly in front of the carrier. Next, I would find a box big enough for her to fit inside. Then, wait until the temperature warms up.  Get the tractor and scoop up some of the berm north of the barn for her ultimate burial. Other thoughts came to mind, but the steps above seemed the wisest. After all, when the weather gets this cold, burying animals is challenging/Marianne Love, Slight Detour. More here.

Question: How would you go about disposing the body of a pet in this cold, cold weather?
