Ashes

We picked up Chatham's ashes from the Vet this afternoon and started crying all over - not that we haven't been shedding tears all along.

Such a small package (we did pay for a private cremation) ... We haven't opened it up yet. Under the neatly wrapped brown paper, it feels like a hinged box. We're still talking about what we'd like to do. I'm sure that we will scatter some of Chatham's ashes, but we're not ready yet, I guess.

We're also looking to donate unused medicine and fluid bags to shelters, if they want them.

Chatham was such a big part of our lives for such a long time, that it hurts that he is gone. I can't tell you how much it has meant to us, knowing that all of you have kept us in your thoughts. It has helped.
