Peaceful Paws




We chose to have Zion cremated through Peaceful Paws. I knew that the Vet Hospital would call to let us know he was ready to be picked up. I guess Chris got the call yesterday. I didn't know though and he came walking through the door holding a wooden box and paw print. I looked at what remained of our dog and more tears. I can't get over how heavy the box was. Our 90lb dog sure was heavy even now. Weird how a week ago he was here with us and big as life and now I have a box that while small is heavy as can be. I am not sure what we are going to do with his ashes yet. In some weird way it is comforting having him somehow with us. I also know all the places he loved...Grape Street Park was where he grew up-best dog park in San Diego, then Coronado dog beach-the nicest and biggest area at beach for dogs, and the million walks around our neighborhood now. Any of them would hold meaning. For now just going to let this too sink in and I guess it is just another adjustment......
