I know what you mean – I used to
bury everyone in my back yard, then I ran out of space – so I started cremating
everyone – I have a wooden box with their fur and Whiskas and they sleep
with me on my bed – and I hold them, and it gives me a comfort –
and I feel close to them. From:

Behalf Of tamara stickler Jamie, I was dreading picking up the ashes too (Quint was the first
animal I couldn't bury - no yard), but found that it was surprisingly
comforting to have "him" home again. The box with his ashes
sits behind a particularly fantastic framed picture of him on the top shelf of
a cd tower in the living room. A picture of the cat, Carruthers, that I
tried to adopt, but died at the foster home a few days before I was supposed to
pick him up sits on the second shelf. I have a vase of flowers ontop of
the tower...and oddly enough...I think as it becomes necessary, that tower will
hold all the remains of my pets...until the time comes for my relatives to
spread all our ashes out together....and I'll keep flowers in the vase. The good thing about cremation is...you don't have to worry about
leaving them behind when you move....of having their remains disturbed by new
people. As for everyone that suffered a loss this past week: My
condolances. How extremely lucky were Andy, Fern, Pepsi, Digby and all
the others to have had someone to love them as much as you all did. (Its
a gift that many children never know.) You are all in my prayers. Peace to all, and God Bless T
