I know there are several fur-mom's going to pick up the remains of their fur-babies this week. I had to do this last Thursday and one thing that helped me SO, SO much was that there wasnt anyone in the waiting room. Many of you have read my story and know how hard it was for me to even get out of the car to walk into the vets office to pick Jack up. I was crying so hard I couldnt speak and probably looked a terrible site, LOL (as Oprah says, I had the ugly crying going on).

My saving grace was that there wasnt anyone sitting in the waiting room, so I didnt have an "audience" to watch me completely loose it and fall apart. I was crying so hard I could barely get the words out that I was "here to pick up Jack".

May I suggest that you (or have someone who can do it for you) call and say that you'd like to pick up your pets remains and that you'd prefer it be done when there isnt anyone in the waiting room...when would be a good time.

Again, my heart goes out to each of you having to do this this week. Honestly, the "thought" of doing it was much harder than actually doing it and I'm so, so glad I did. My Jack is home with us know and even though my big boy isnt here, I feel so much more at peace.

P.S. on a side note, I received a beautiful Condolance card from our vet today. In the card, he assured us that we made the right decision at the right time and that Jack is now in peace ::::tears::::

Dawn, that's a FABULOUS suggestion, and we shall certainly do that. Everyone at our surgery is LOVELY, and so I know they'll understand.
Great suggestion...and thank you so much for thinking of all us fur-moms who are picking up our babies this week.
Love and hugs,
Amanda ***
