I have not got my display all set up yet with the poem I bought and pictures I want to display but I just wanted to show you all the urn my darling Snookie is in. It is strange how I thought having her cremated was the pits since the ground was frozen and now it is a comfort to have her ashes near me at all times.

The urn is 12 1/2 inches tall, 10 inches in depth and 7 inches wide. It is a lighter silver color than what my camera was able to pick up. It reminds me of Snookie's beautiful silver body. The urn is large enough for me to hold and to kiss the top of it's head as I tell Snookie good morning and good night.

I put my little girls collar on the dog urn and my family and I cried many tears. Even though her spirit is not in the urn I believe my little girl would have liked this urn as a resting place for her ashes.

I have been keeping her on my desk and look at it often and it has become a comfort to me. My husband's desk with his computer sits right next to mine in our den and I often see him looking at it with tears in his eyes. We miss her so very much and it's hard to believe she has been gone 6 weeks today.

Dear Ann,

I am SO happy that precious Snookie finally has an honorable resting place
That urn is beautiful. I love that you put her collar on it too. What a great idea. I am also happy to hear that you have found peace in having her cremated. I know that really bothered you when it first happened. Now, as you said, you have her close and can kiss and hug on her like you do.

God Bless you Ann!
Cheri

It was odd for me to. I felt comfort when I had Mooses ashes returned. I want to scatter them at Birch bay, his favorite place, but I am not ready to do that yet, so I keep him safe in the family cedar chest. I have been learning about scrapbooking and plan to make something very nice when things settle down for me, have a piece of jewerly made with some of his ashes keep some to be buried/cremated with me, and scatter the rest.
I think what you did for Snook was very honorable. Pamela

That looks beautiful Ann! What a great memorial to a great friend!

I am getting my Sasha's ashes on Mon or Tuesday and want to do something nice like that for her. I currently have her collar draped over my favorite picture of her, and I have it on my nightstand so she is near me.

Hi Ann & Clair:

What a beautiful resting place for your beloved, Snookie Cookie....



I feel just like Cheri does.......
I am happy that your darling girl is right near you, for a kiss, hug, when you walk by....

I believe, as you said Ann...........that "Snookie's spirit is not in the urn-----but, I too think that she
would absolutely love this urn as her beautiful resting place..

Six weeks today -- I can hardly believe it!!!
Time just flies by....waits for no one!

But, I know that your precious Snookie Lynn and also sweet Chili Bean are up at Rainbow's Bridge, feeling just
wonderful.....
And, they are totally healthy!!!!

I know that's a happy thought!

God Bless You and Yours, Ann....

Love Always, Denise xo

Thank you all so much. The day I took my baby to be cremated they had me pull behind the building. It was -0 out and I stood there holding my girl in my arms. I could not seem to hand her over to the vet I just wanted to keep holding her. I just felt so ill knowing what was going to happen to her and I had the urge to run with her.

I looked over at my daughter and she was shivering so hard and I saw her nose was red. But the cold did not bother me at all I had no feeling of the cold whatsoever my body had quit feeling anything except for the pain in my heart.

Seeing my daughter so cold hunched up and shivering brought me back to knowing that I had to hand my Snookie's precious body over to the vet so I did. I thought I would colaspe to the ground when I took her from my arms and placed her in his. But I have found peace and comfort in having Snookie Cookie here with me. I can deal with it now that we have that beautiful urn for her ashes from her earthly body.

Dear Ann, Snookie's urn looks wonderful. I love the shpae and how you put Snookie's collar on it. I am waiting to receive my dear Smokey's ashes, I hope to get them today. I would feel better if he was here with me. We
haven't decided on an urn yet. Can I ask where you found Snookie's?

Snookie's urn is beautiful...so much better than a tin can!

I love how you have her little area set up with little mementos and her collar...so very touching.

Love,
