Well, that is a pretty box, and I love Koshimi's pic as a youngster.
It's okay to be sad. He was your buddy for crying out loud, so it will take a while.
*welling up* thank you for sharing Rick!
Happy New Year 2009 :)
Aw, Rick, this brought tears to my eyes all over again. I'm glad you got to bring Koshimi home again for the final time.
*sigh*
My word, Rick, I'm sorry.. but you have him there with you. He couldn't have asked for a better dad.
I'm sorry you had to re-live that experience over again, Rick.
I'm sure one of those poems is "The Rainbow Bridge"
It would bring anyone to tears just reading it, whether they had ever had a pet or not.
Happy New Year to you and I hope 2009 is a great one for you!
I'm so sorry for your loss and the sadness you feel. I hope Koshimi is romping around in heaven, as happy as can be. Happy New Year, Rick.
Oh man, that must have been a reeeaalllyyy tough day. I cannot imagine. I send you good energy and thoughts for comfort in the dark spots of your life. Happiest of New Years.

there is certainly no need to apologize. hugs to you and gentle pats to sheldon as he recovers.
I understand completely ALL that you are feeling, my dear Rick...I know it feels really good to have your beloved pal back with you......May he Rest In Peace.
Big Hugs to you, dear Rick.
what a lovely thing for them to do! i had not the same thing happen. when i lost my cat at the vet's office some years back i took him home and we had a funeral in the back yard. a few weeks later i got a card in the mail telling me to bring him in for his shots. that is not a good vet. their answer? the computer did it. yeah. right.
happy new year rick. i'll be back tomorrow for the video!
smiles, bee

oh gosh that must be difficult. I remember when our dog was hit by a car the kids were so upset because it ended to suddenly. I was always yelling to keep the door closed but one day the dog escaped and the poor thing ran into the street. We buried him in our yard which became place the kids went to sit and visit for a long time. Anyway, my heart goes out to you.
It's scary how long it takes to quit tearing up over a beloved pet, but I hope having Koshimi home again helps.
I had my Tidbit cremated and her ashes put in a wooden box urn with a window for displaying pictures. Some would think it morbid or strange, but I can pause in my comings and goings and give her a little pat and tell her I still love her and miss her terribly.
We find our own ways to deal with the pain of loss as we move through this crazy world. I love that picture of Koshimi as a youngster, and I hope having him home where you can tell him you love him (when no one's looking, of course) helps you adjust to being without your buddy. The ashes are the least important part of what make our friends our friends, but we're just dumb humans, and sometimes it's the symbol that pulls us through.
Hi, Rick. I came over to wish you a joyful new year and am sorry to learn about Koshimi's death. I'm sorry for your loss. Closure is most important and fortunately, your vet's office is very caring. At times like this, what you experience in yourself and with others, truly matters. You might also want to pay attention to any dreams you have about Koshimi. They can be a source of comfort.
I'll try this again: A most joyous 2009 to you and yours! :)
Big hugs, Rick...big hugs...
I was so sorry to hear about Koshimi. But I know you gave him a great life and a wonderful home. :' (

What sensitive handling of your situation on their part. I am sure you are grateful to have your pets registered with such a nice office.
I had my beloved Samantha cremated too. The vet included a copy of the Rainbow Bridge. While I can love other dogs, I know I will never love a dog like her. I am sorry for your loss.
