Rock's ashes are here too. I was so thankful to pick them up. He was a big boy! I put the cedar box on my lap as I drove and I felt more at peace as though he was sitting on my lap. He used to do that in the car. He'd jump up front and then jump over in my lap with his forepaws and shoulders; his head just under mine. It felt so nice. I'd have to drive with bowed out arms. I loved being close to him and him me obviously. He ALWAYS wanted to be touching me whenever we were in the same room. It wasn't enough to be in the same room.
So when I got the box, I sighed a relief and cried so hard. I set up an alter with his ashes and flowers, pictures, balls, bones, leash, collar, candles, and cards. I light the candles everyday to honor his life and passing. I hope the candles will help him find his way. Cathy will come over thursday.
I couldn't find the ball. It was two weeks ago, someone must have taken it. Another dog perhaps...they justlove finding tennis balls. The ones who love them. Rock was the best dog. He knew how to be a dog and play with balls and sticks and bones. He never begged for food, never chewed up anything that wasn't his, he even knew exactly how to hide and be discreet when going #2potty. He'd always find a bush and stick his bottom in the middle of it and then go looking out at me. I'd always bring bags but never had to use them. He was perfect in every way except the dog aggression which was created mainly by those "bad men".
Maybe Rock is with Merlin. I'm sure they would be as we are both mourning together and you know they haven't left us yet.
take care-
