I send you my heartfelt condolences. Buddy was a precious companion. I can see that by the pictures that you have posted. As Rachel said, many of us here know the pain that you feel now as we have had to make that decision too. A pet's only fault is that they do not live long enough. Buddy was 14 and that is a good long life, but never long enough for the heartbroken humans they leave behind. What a beautiful plan you have for his ashes. I hope each day gets a little easier. ((((hugs))))
