Pet Cremations

Pet Cremations

Day 9

I picked you up from the vet today.
I tried so hard not to cry but the sight of you in the small yet tasteful box made me so sad.
I take you home talking to you and almost stroking the box as we travel.
When we get home I take you in and place you on the mantelpiece.
You have come with a beautiful card from the pet crematorium.
There are some reassuring words explaining it's perfectly natural to feel this way and even a helpline.
I'm so pleased I decided to have you cremated and I'm pleased you home although its sad you're not as you once were.
I miss walking you and the chats with the neighbours.
I miss my daily routine.
But mainly I miss you.
