    Roxy looks like Beans too.

    (I love how Beans is a common theme on names. Don't get me started on nicknames!)

    Just beautiful eyes and faces, all.

    That's adorable Tree...Scooter is just too cute!
    The vet called and Tabby Lu's ashes are back from the crematorium, I think I will go pick them up before work tomorrow morning...I have a feeling I will have a break down when I do...

    I am praying for you. Hope you make it through with no breakdown. But if you do cry, know that it's very normal.

    Thank you! I have actually been coping really well with the whole thing since it happened...I feel a sense of relief that she is no longer suffering, and I've been looking at a lot of pictures of her and posting them to IG and FB, and they make me smile, and I have hardly cried since, mostly just the day we did it and the day after...hopefully I will not breakdown, but I may feel sad again holding a tiny box of what was my baby... but I know it's normal and I am expecting it, I just hope I don't cry myself into a headache before work...

    I understand. When the first wolf dog ( Momo) died, I was very very sad... But I was kind of ok, cause I still had his brother Ace. But when a year later Ace died.. I ended up so heartbroken that I nearly lost my job. So, you're doing by far better than I did!!

    Can you take a little extra time for yourself before work?

    I so feel for you - especially the looking at pictures. I did that as soon as we came back, it felt so empty in our little home. Sobbed while going through photos - no digital at the time! Gathered them into one of those old-school envelopes you'd get your pictures in when picking them up from Kmart, Rite Aid, wherever. I still go through them from time to time and they bring comfort and smiles.

    It's funny, when she was obviously not doing well (she was 17), I was out of work and had a phone interview that went really well, was asked to come in for a face-to-face the following Monday. That weekend, she was euthanized and I fucking blew the interview two days later. So embarrassing.

    In retrospect it was the best thing since I lucked into my current place, which I love.

    Might sound odd, but I thank her for that...the roundabout way how things happen. The part her life and death played, in so many ways even aside from that.

    Anyway...sorry for the ramble; this brought back memories.

    I wish you and your guy well through this. Grief takes time, and so many forms.

    It will get easier - allow yourself to feel it all, along the way :)

    Well, I didn't manage to make it without tears, I did cry, my heart broke all over again, especially to see the size of the tiny little box she's in...I know she's not human so I don't know what I expected, but it is tiny...she was tiny...I guess it fits perfect, it's a beautiful little tin box, I love it! I just thought I'd share a picture of it.

    So I found the coolest thing! Like you all have probably heard of stuff like "Life Gem" where they can take ashes and make a diamond out of them...when that's 3k$, so I had googled "ashes made into jewelry" looking to find out how much that was, and amongst them found an etsy shop, and this guy takes a small amount of ashes from your loved one and turns into into a blown glass pendant, it's so cool! It's about 100$ so I am totally going to do that when I have some extra funds! I sent the link to my hubby to look at I would love to have one he even has one with a pawprint in it for pets.

    This is the ash pendant, the bubbles in it are made from the chemical reaction between the hot glass and the ashes....I think it's so cool...I want this one with the paw print for Tabby Lu...
