Corrina, I did pick up Oreo's ashes yesterday too. It was very sad and made it very real that she was never coming home again. There was a card with our cremains that said

Many people will walk in and out of your life. But only a true friend will leave paw prints in your heart. Please accept the attached half heart with our compliments. The other half of the charm has been placed in the cremains with your pet. May this token of your mutual love live forever.

I found that so comforting for some reason. And such a thoughtful thing to do.

If you need anything pm me. I know this is a really tough time.
