Hi Karen,

Thank you for checking in. We miss you & think of you daily.
Please don't worry that anyone thinks you are "going on"
about the loss of your best friend Cody. It took me weeks,
months to even move a throwrug that Buddy had laid on.His
bowls were washed, but I could not bring myself to put them
away so , instead, I turned them over but left them out on his
special eating spot in the kitchen. The day I picked up Buddy's
ashes, I did feel some sense of relief that somehow the circle
of life was now complete & that my Bud was not "out there
somewhere" but back home safe with me. It was closure of
sorts. I still keep Buddy's collar on the dresser in my room.
Most of us here know exactly where you are right now & morn
with you. Please know that you (&Mom) are in my prayers every
day. Take care of yourself my friend. Hugs from Liz & Moki.
