Real men and women, are in touch with their emotions. I'm a bonified, lone-wolf tough woman and while there is nothing wrong with that, I had to learn to be at peace with my more tender emotions. This is one of those lessons the universe tries to teach us by sending us animals to care for. So...

You really do have a way with words. Have you thought of putting together a book for people going through pet grief? There are lots of those out there, but there's always a market for that material. I'm a former journalist, I could be your editor if you ever need one.

Hey there. yes the material is glass and the artist has different colors you can choose from. The whitish stuff are his ashes. I have noticed sometimes they appear more course or more fine. Maybe it depends on the crematorium's process. So here is the artist's website. She's in Oregon. She did...

It is perfectly OK to ramble. There are tons of emotions running through your head right now. I think that our animals know the medical things we do for them isn't to hurt them. They don't like it, but they can feel our concern for them as we do these things (shots, meds, thermometers). I...

Hey guys. Just got the piece in today in the mail. Here it is.

oh my gawd, that weather. My sister likes cold. She's in Maryland right now. I dont' do well mentally or physically in it. Im sorry about those temps. The only good thing about snow is snowboarding or sledding or toboganning. That stuff is pretty fun. I'm glad you're well. And I will post a pic...

Hey guys. Here is a picture of a piece that is being made for me with a small bit of Pumpkin's cremation ashes. It's a glass blower out of Oregon. I can't wait to see how mine turns out.

Hey I'm not bad. I was just on here about to post a pic of the cremation jewelry I ordered. Thanks for asking. How are you?

I am managing thanks so much. I am in the final week of my first semester of grad school so I have a lot to do with writing papers and such. And my house mates have 4 dogs, and they keep me company. They're so entertaining. Canine energy can be very healing.

Oh daaaaang. :)

Such a wonderful suggestion would not upset me. I kept his hair the vet shaved for the final injection. I may put it in a locket. But I really like the jewelry idea. Thanks again.

Did you abstain from shaving, sex or (uh... self pleasure). We're all adults here, its fine. I want to abstain from this 14 page research paper I have to write, but I can't. :)

It's not so much being brave as just knowing that death (though it hurts badly for those of us left behind) is part of the life cycle. I wanted him to feel safe and secure and not stressed. And I wanted to hold him for as long as I needed to. It helped. Even with my analytical thinking process...

This is great! I would love to have a piece of jewelry with his ashes. I will use these guys. Maybe not right away because I'm between job assignments now, but soon! Thank you.

Update. Pumpkin crossed the bridge yesterday around 4:30 p.m. He was 15 1/2 years old. I attached some pics from his final minutes. A friend documented it. I held him for 15 mins before he got his final shot and at least 20 minutes after he was gone. I waited til he started to feel a little less...

I'm going through something similar. I wish I could offer some words of wisdom and comfort that would take the pain away. I'm giving my boy some last few days of amazing food and comfort. I'm home now and the timing could not have been better. Be strong and cry if you need to. Remember the good...

You guys are amazing. My sister sees Pumpkin as the new animal partner sent to me by our German Shepherd BeBe. BeBe was a stray who found our family in Baldwin Hills back in 1991. She died at 11 of nasal cancer, we euthanized her at a hospital in West Los Angeles in 2000. I fostered two kittens...

That is amazingly beautiful! And very comforting. Thanks so much.

Hello. This is the saddest post I've ever written here. I've come here for years with worries and just to check out other folks posts about health, behavior and fun stuff. Your advice has been uplifting and amazing and I'm grateful. Thank you all! The Orange Pimp, Punkass, the Pimpster, The...
