Oh yeah, BIG blubbering mess over here. What a wonderful, WONDERFUL company Little Angels is. And the hospital -- I would never have thought of a keepsake paw print, what a beautiful idea! Such lovely touches and a real sense that they understand just how much our furry little children mean to us! God help me, I don't even like to think about Obe and Desi's time, but when it comes, I hope that there is an organization near me that is so thoughtful and kind...

And I LOVE that picture of you and John. How sweet!

I know - I'm overwhelmed really. All I was expecting was to get a box of some sort. Actually, wasn't even sure WHAT they were coming in. Been a little too distraught all week to even think much of it. Figured I'd pick my own out later when I could better handle it. But I'm so glad I don't have to. And to be given sooo much more is just...wow.

The lady at the hospital (damn, how I wish I had gotten her name!) said this cremation company was the best she'd ever worked with and she'd never even think of using anyone else for her pets. I can now see why! I have no idea what is the usual practice but she seemed to think they go above and beyond.

And the paw print...seriously, I don't know if I'll ever not cry when I look at that. So sweet.

This whole experience, while horrendously awful to go through, was handled so compassionately by everyone. I'm just so very grateful really.

Oh, that is so sweet! I didn't even know there were places like that for pets. That's just wonderful, everything they did for you.

I love the picture too. I felt like I got to know your kitty. (As much it's possible to do that online.) I'm really sorry, and really sad that this has happened.

Me either! I feel really blessed. Not blessed to have lost John but all the kindness and compassion we've both been shown through out is really top notch. It's just really pretty amazing there are people out there who know exactly what it's like to love a pet so much that they'd go to such lengths to give them such respect and dignity even in death.
