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.<BR/><BR/>I'll try this again: A most joyous 2009 to you and yours! :)P.L.

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.<BR/><BR/>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.Ann (bunnygirl)https://www.blogger.com/profile/04938134750150653386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8620940070153527301.post-78973268666169602032008-12-31T08:46:00.000-08:002008-12-31T08:46:00.000-08:00oh gosh that must be difficult.

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.
