I was able to pick up Coopers ashes today, and bring him home. They made a paw print in clay before he was cremated, and that was nice, I have 2 now because Cynthia and Isabelle were kind enough to send Cooper a paw print making kit before he left. It may sound strange, but after bringing Coopers ashes home, the house doesnt seem as quiet , and I feel a sense of peace ... welcome home, my beautiful boy.

Welcome home Coop! There is something settling about finally saying they are home for good. I talked to Trouble on the drive home and patted her little urn.

Oh that's such a bittersweet event. Not strange at all, it does bring a sense of closure doesn't it?

Doesn't sound crazy at all......I truly don't think I could ever start to heal until my furkids were *home* with me.......the beautiful baker's rack that hold all their ashes, pawprints, clips of hair and photos is getting wall too full......but while I know their spirit lives on, it does bring some comfort to have them back.

 

Welcome home Cooper....and thoughts of healing for your dad.

Yep, I know the feeling, glad to hear he's home, Big Paws up to a peaceful Coop, and to all others that have a resting place on a shelf, by the bed, or wherever we keep them, what a feeling of comfort

Welcome home big Coop!

Definitely not strange Ken. If my home were to catch fire, it would be Fortis' ashes that I would first grab on the way out the door. Then I would check on the wife big-grin 

I'm glad it has brought you some peace to have your Cooper back home.

No, it's never right until they are home again. I'm glad he's back.
