The Vet Sent Flowers

There was a knock at the door a few minutes ago. We weren't expecting anyone. It was a flower delivery sent from the vet hospital where Mittens was taken last night. What a nice gesture. Josh has made a memorial downstairs, and this will be added to it. The vet hospital also gave him a small plaque with Mitten's paw prints in it and a tiny bottle with a tuft of Mitten's fur enclosed. This vet is so nice. It is the same one where my grandmother used to bring our animals back when I was a child. We will be picking up Mitten's ashes January 3rd.

It is very sad but Josh is really upset. He had Mittens in his room and was taking care of him every day. He would offer his water and food each day and was so good with him. Now he blames himself for not doing more.

You have a wonderful Vet. I hope some of the rituals in such a heavy loss will soothe Josh a little. Saying goodbye is the hardest thing to do. Hugs.

That was very nice. I hope the plaque and the little fur bottle give Josh some comfort. That is very nice of the vet.
