Hi

I too am a dog lover and over the last thirty years, have buried more than my share.
2 in my parents back yard and 1 in my own. I don't know why, but I just have the tradition of taking the top blanket, ( usually the best) and wrapping my friend in it. I guess the idea of throwing dirt directly on my dog was upsetting.
My dogs were always buried at their homes, where they lived, and died. In a way , I think that burying them there, made them permanently apart of their home.
No offense, but your dog is home, and moving her is not for K.C. it's a macabre self indulgence, and sorry but the obvious cliche, really applies "let sleeping dogs lie"
One more thing, I buried my favourite dog "Midnight" 25 years ago, and I still miss him.
