Leecy went to the vet yesterday to pick up some ointment for Maggie’s incisions and got quite a surprise.
It was Madison’s ashes.
I have to say, that Live Oak Pet Services put together a really touching and wonderful package. They included a nice little urn with Madison’s remains, a certificate of cremation, rosemary, and a very sweet handwritten note. They did add an extra “d” in Madison’s name, but that’s okay.
Madison's Urn And Certificate
Here’s where I’m a little torn. I (and Leecy) originally wanted to spread Madison’s ashes around the Rose Garden as this is where the bird feeders are located and Madison used to like to look out the window and watch the birds. However, now I’m not so sure. I kind of like the little urn. The roses aren’t yet in bloom, actually nothing is really blooming right now.
So we’ve decided to not spread Madison’s ashes and keep her urn inside with us. Is that weird or morbid? Has anyone ever kept their pet’s remains, or are we just weird freaky animal lovers?
Anyway, that’s what we’ve decided for now. At some point maybe we’ll decide to have a nice little Madison memorial outside, but for now, she’s going to stay inside with us where it’s warm and cozy.
I just had a thought. What if we waited until Spring when the Monarch’s return and do nice memorial for Madison and release some Butterflys in her name? Just a thought.
