Dolittle: we just got home from picking his ashes up...I am SO happy he was done so fast...same day.We ordered an urn..actully an oak box,it will have a ceramic dalmation figure laying on top of the box and his name,dates of birth and death engraved onto a metal plate.I had to take a valume (sp) to settle me down,I just coudln't stop crying and had a terrible headache! Won't be on tonight,just gonna hang out with hubby and listen to our quite house while we watch a movie.I miss Patch so much...I use to LOVE mushing his nose..I called it his beetle,LOL...it was so perfectly round,black,wet,cold,and shiny,looked like a big old beetle bug on the end of his face,lol.Sorry to go on.....
