Well, we put him down on Dec 23rd after a battle with lymphoma. I finally made it back to the vet hospital tonight to pick up his ashes, I have been putting it off as I knew i would break down as soon as I went back there. His ashes are in a nice wooden box with a flower engraving on top. I put him on my nightstand, where he used to lay and watch me as I slept. They made an ink print of his paw and put it in a card with the following poem
Weep not for me though I am gone;
into that gentle night.
Grieve if you will but not for long,
upon my soul's sweet flight.
I am at peace,
my soul's at rest.
There is no need for tears.
For with your love I was blessed;
for all those many years.
There is no pain,
I suffer not,
The fear now all is gone.
Put now these things out of your thoughts.
In your memory I live on.
Remember not my fight for breath;
remember not the strife.
Please do not dwell upon my death,
but celebrate my life.
I miss him so much
