Picked Up Her Ashes Today Options

[samhaincat]

I don't know how many of you have ever had a pet cremated but today was the second time (the last time 2 years ago) that I had to go into the vets office and pick up a little box containing the ashes of the little body that I loved so much.
I managed to keep it together till I got home.
Spicey died exactly one month ago today and I miss her so much. I am grateful she went peacefully in her sleep but I wish I could hold her little purring furry self just one more time and hug her and kiss her and let her know how much I love her. When I opened the box in amongst her ashes I found the little heart that a dear friend of mine had given all three of my cats and which had been attached to her collar, it read purrfect kitty. It was burned black and tarnished but had somehow withstood being melted. When Zody had been cremated his little gold heart had melted and I painted what was left of it bronze like his eyes and have kept it ever since. I will keep Spicey's little gold heart also. I will spread her ashes on Thanksgiving as a tribute to her and a way of letting her know how thankful I am that she was part of my life for 16 years.
