Gina: This is the one I plan to order a ring from. http://www.pet-gems.com I liked this the best- I just thought it sounded really neat that the cremains kind of dictate the color of the stone- that seems really mystical to me. There are other sites for other types of jewelry- like necklaces- http://www.memorypendants.huffmanstudios.com/but I'm a ring-wearer so pet gems is my personal fave. I got to these sites from http://www.pet-loss.net. It has tons of information on it, including other types of memorials for your pet. -Caroline From:Gina WN [EMAIL PROTECTED]Reply-To:felvtalk@felineleukemia.orgTo:felvtalk@felineleukemia.orgSubject:RE: OT: Pet Burial Ceremony- for MonkeeDate:Thu, 26 Jul 2007 00:15:59 -0700 (PDT) Did you find a jewelry site that you like?

Re: OT: Pet Burial Ceremony- for Monkee
This is what I did with the hole in my heart after Squeaky died. I had lived with him (22 yo) longer than anyone but my mother ( I adopted him when he was 8). I imagined there were others out there who needed me. I was in no way ready. In fact after Squeaky died I told the vet to take all my cat stuff and she said no, you will have more kitties. I went to the shelter and brought home THREE. Keisha, Teddy and Coco. It was a way to honor Squeaky and to recognize that I wanted and needed that unconditional love in my life ~ both ways ~ them for me and me for them. I have never regretted it. You will know when it is time. One will cross your path (sent by Monkee) or somewhere one will meet your eyes with his or hers and you will know.

Re: OT: Pet Burial Ceremony- for Monkee
Right. Weird for a person (which I didn't know they were doing!), but seems right for my Monkee. Plus, it's just a portion of the cremains- they only need 1-2 tablespoons (I hate writing even that though- sounds horrible!). But this is all new to me. I just like the idea of having a part of him with me. Way back when I lost my first cat, I put a teeny tiny rolled up ball of his fur in a locket and wore that around (I still have it). But something like that was the only option at the time. I've been pleasantly surprised at all the available memorials nowadays. -Caroline From: wendy [EMAIL PROTECTED]Reply-To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.orgTo: felvtalk@felineleukemia.orgSubject: Re: OT: Pet Burial Ceremony- for MonkeeDate: Tue, 24 Jul 2007 19:29:20 -0700 (PDT) This might sound weird Caroline, but after I lost my grandmother three weeks ago, my brother and I were talking about cremation, etc. He saidwhen he dies, he's going to have his ashes made into a diamond. I guess they have the technology to do that now. It's called aLifeGem, or something like that.

Dear Caroline, I am so sorry for your loss! I had found the following prayer a few years ago when I had to help one of my kitties cross over, and wanted to share it with you (and the rest of the list) - it was originally written using the female tense her, her's, she (I took the liberty of modifying it for your beloved Monkee). In deepest sympathy, Kat (Mew Jersey) Dear Lord, please open your gates and call St. Francis to come escort this beloved companion across the Rainbow Bridge. Assign him to a place of honor, for he has been a faithful servant and has always done his best to please me. Grant me the strength not to dwell on my loss. Help me remember the details of his life with the love he has shown me. And grant me the courage to honor him by sharing those memories with others. Let him remember me as well and let him know that I will always love him. And when it's my time to pass over into your paradise, please allow him to accompany those who will bring me home.

Re: OT: Pet Burial Ceremony- for Monkee
Hi Caroline, I am sorry that you're having a tough time, although not surprised. Monkee was very special to you and grieving for him is perfectly normal. I don't have much to offer you, other than when we did Cricket's burial in our backyard, I wrote out all the things I loved about him and a lot of special memories we had made. It did help to hear them, but it might be different as I don't know who will be reading Monkee's script. I read the one I wrote and my husband and nephew were there too to listen and grieve with me. :) Wendy Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful committed citizens can change the world - indeed it is the only thing that ever has! ~~~ Margaret Meade ~~~ - Original Message From: Caroline Kaufmann [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Sent: Tuesday, July 24, 2007 12:04:55 PM Subject: OT: Pet Burial Ceremony- for Monkee I have lost many pets before in my life, but with my recent loss of Monkee, I feel compelled to have some kind of ceremony honoring his life because he is the closest companion (animal or human) that I've ever had.

Re: OT: Pet Burial Ceremony- for Monkee
That was very well said...Glenda! Caroline, If you go to the bottom of this email you will find the direct link to Pet Loss. I have been there many times on my losses. As I was so compelled to Taz before and when I lost him I really didn't think I would find others to love. But it sure help to talk to others about it. It makes it easier sitting behind the computer because nobody can see you cry. Even though it's human nature. God forbid I was walking in a shelter myself. Had no intentions of taking home cats/kittens. I saw some kittens that needed help and a new home. Guess what? I brought home 2 of them. Told my husband watch and don't step on the babies when he got home from work that evening. You see I didn't tell him:) He seen them too and fell in love with them. They have been with us now for 5 years. Don't get me wrong I still have a huge place in my heart for Taz. It's just easier now then it was. I shed tears and talk to him every year on the day of his passing. When I'm not feeling so perky I will talk to him as I still have his ashes they are with me next to the computer. My husband believes it was the work of Taz that made me become an official rescue. To help so many cats/kittens in the last few years. Whether they are Siamese or not.

Re: OT: Pet Burial Ceremony- for Monkee
I think when Caroline is ready, adopting another kitty will be great for her. However, I have a good friend here who recently lost the love of her life, her kitty Sugar, and went and adopted another kitty the next week. She ended up taking him back because he peed on her bed, but she really didn't give him much of a chance. I personally don't think she was ready yet; she hadn't grieved enough yet. So it's important to wait until it's right and for every person, that's different. :) Wendy Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful committed citizens can change the world - indeed it is the only thing that ever has! ~~~ Margaret Meade ~~~ Be a better Heartthrob.

Re: OT: Pet Burial Ceremony- for Monkee
This might sound weird Caroline, but after I lost my grandmother three weeks ago, my brother and I were talking about cremation, etc. He said when he dies, he's going to have his ashes made into a diamond. I guess they have the technology to do that now. It's called a LifeGem, or something like that. I told him he was strange...I just can't imagine wearing my brother on my finger, you know? lol. But I don't think it would be weird for an animal's cremation remains to be made into something I could wear. :) Wendy Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful committed citizens can change the world - indeed it is the only thing that ever has! ~~~ Margaret Meade ~~~ - Original Message From: Caroline Kaufmann [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Sent: Tuesday, July 24, 2007 9:18:38 PM Subject: RE: OT: Pet Burial Ceremony- for Monkee Thank you Glenda and Wendy for your insight.

RE: OT: Pet Burial Ceremony- for Monkee
Caroline, I have six cats. I love them all very much, but I love one the most. I think he is the most beautiful, most absolutely cool cat in the whole world .Everything he does is simply elegant. His name is Feeto. He is a 6.6.6.6. DSH, tabby, polydactyl. His toes are all perfect! It is because of him I have this poly foot fetish now. I have felt so awful that I never knew him as a kitten.I was told he was homeless and wandered the streets...I simply could not understand why such a fantastic cat was not scooped up by the first human who ever layed eyes on him... He was a young adult when I adopted him. He had been sitting at the local Humane Society for almost two months before I found him! I simply could not believe I was so lucky as to have been the one who was to bring him home. He , to me, is a treasure. He has been with me for only 18-months . If anything were ever to happen to him, my world would collapse. I do not think I would be able to get out of bed for a week. I have never had an animal before or since that I have been so obsessed with. I am sure I could never find his equal. I would not even think of it, but I would do something kind in honor of him and I would try to keep busy... The diamond idea was nice...Glenda --- Caroline Kaufmann [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: - Thank you Glenda and Wendy for your insight.

Re: OT: Pet Burial Ceremony- for Monkee
Glenda, my Siamese mix LuLu is polydactyl. She has an extra toe on all four paws. It's really cute.

Re: OT: Pet Burial Ceremony- for Monkee
Wendy, COOL! I bet LuLu is adorable! We should all post kitty pictures one of these days. As for polydactyls, I think those extra toes makes them feel a bit superior...I know with my Feeto he has a regal attitude and is very comfortable with himself. He acts like a little king around other cats and even dogs..., calm and composed all the the time and in complete control. I had only see Feeto lose it once and that was a couple days after I brought him home. My cat Bruno was hissing at him. Feeto went after him. I saw fur fly, not Feeto's.Feeto walked away, had made his point, but then, my dog tried to get in the middle to protect Bruno. Feeto got irritated and leaped on my dog's back. Kind of an after thought, like do not mess with me, when I'm taking care of business. Feeto wrapped his front paws around my dog's neck... Stuck 12-claws into my poor dog. I'd never seen anything like it. It was over before it began...My dog had huge respect for Feeto after that, as well as all the other kitties. Now Feeto is very bonded with Bruno and my dog Hondo, my Great Dane /Shepherd mix, has passed away...Because Hondo is gone, I opened up my home to two more poly kittens, siblings...too round my family out... I was outside, lying on my lawn tonight with three of my adult cats...They all have such different little faces, as well as personalities. They are all just so beautiful. I was thinking tonight, if I could draw or paint, how lovely a picture it would make, the three of them lounging side by side on the grass. (My cats are indoor ,but allowed outside with supervision...) Every healthy, well cared for cat, is beautiful. It is easy to see how one could not resist getting too many cats...I will never have more or less than 6-cats. I can care well for six,but if I had any more, I would not be able to do them justice. When Caroline was telling us how beautiful Monkee was, I knew exactly how she felt when she would look at him...
