Thanks everyone. It's awfully quiet in the house without him yelling at me for food all the time or for petting him too much, or for moving when I should be sitting still ect....he was rather opinionated!

I am having him cremated. I bought an urn on ebay today. The local place only has plain wooden boxes. They are very nice and I have several already, but they didn't feel right for Beau. This feels like the right urn for him:

I laughed out loud when I read the inscription. That was my Beau!
