Thank you GEL, I'm sorry for your losses too. Even in the last 3 weeks of her life I have great memories of Jesse. I was starting to feel a bit better until the vet phoned me this afternoon to let me know Jesse's ashes were ready.

I wanted to answer you sooner but my mind was all muddled from so many emotions. I think the finality of it sunk in and that's what made me cry all over again. I wanted her home with me so she'd never be alone again, I've posted her story in several replies here on my wall.

This is my first baby I had cremated. I never understood why people brought loved ones ashes home with them until now. My husband had put her carrier away from last Saturday and I found it this evening while I was doing some cleaning.

The blanket I gave her was still inside so I took it out. It still smells like her and is coated in her white fur. I hugged it and put it away in a bag for now.

The love we gave each other through tough times and good makes me smile despite the heartache I feel. I have grown children too and when I look at pictures I have more of my pets than of my kids, lol.

My kids understand how I am and my daughter loves them the same as I do. She does however draw the line when it comes to the icky stuff, lol.

It never ceases to amaze me how little furballs can steal our hearts with just one look at them. I don't understand how some people hate animals, it truly baffles me.

Thank you for sharing your story with me, I'm finding out just how many others love and cherish their pets here on the wiki. For so many years RL outsiders just assumed I was crazy (ok so I am but not for the reasons they think, lol) for having so many pets.

We don't generally do vacations because the money goes to their care instead. I guess we just prefer to enjoy the love and endless entertainment our babies provide more than a short expensive trip.

Take care GEL and if you still have dogs or other pets give them a big hug for me. ❤️💙💜💚
