Bentley is back home
I can't believe how small he is...
Aaron gently described the box and the name plate over the phone that horrible morning -- I imagined something bland but acceptable and a basic, plain engraving.
It's just lovely. And I think, manly enough to suit Bentley.
It really is beautiful to have my best friend back in the house. And I can't ever thank Aaron enough for his respectful assist on taking care of my furry baby.
Three times today, I was reminded that I have some amazing friends. And I am so very grateful.

It is nice. We had to say goodbye to our first dog this summer, and we have an urn above our fireplace, with his collar resting on top.
It was hard to look at at first, but now when we look at it, we remember something funny or clever about him and smile.
They never really leave you.

I think that suits Bentley well. We went with this one for our Spaz.

Very, very nice. We had the ashes of our precious baby scattered over the mountains. I think she would have liked that, although in retrospect I wish I had kept some of the ashes and had it made in to a life gem. Her royal highness would have approved of that more, I think.

Holy geez. I somehow managed to miss your post about Bentley's passing. I am so sorry.
I just put my Poo to rest and I wonder whether the pain will ever subside. It will, for both us.
He was so well loved and you have such beautiful photographs with which to always gaze back into those lovely blue eyes.
God Bless.

The box is lovely - beautiful color and shape.
Best to you.

Well, good to hear you have some amazing friends after all. It was sounding grim there for a while; but then I usually hate everybody while I'm moving.

Nothing sweeter than a good kitty. B will be with you forever.

I know how you feel about having him back. When my first cat died I really felt terrible while he was away being cremated for 2 weeks. Like I'd abandoned him; I felt awful that he was all alone somewhere without me.
I'm starting to wonder if burial might be more appropriate for some later cats though. I can just see me at 75 with 12 urns full of cat ashes. And then what happens to them after I go? Probably thrown into the dumpster by uncaring relatives or anonymous house cleaners. I'm thinking Badger would be happy to be placed outside somewhere.
I hate typing about this stuff, it gets me all choked up.
