Today it is official. I picked up our sweet sadies ashes from the vet. It hit me much harder than I thought it would. Now it is official. Now it is real. She's home with us, just not in the form we'd have preferred her in. Her medications have been donated to the vets to give to families who can't afford to pay for medication and that helps a little. Knowing that we could at least help one other dog and family In the process. The vet came and gave me a hug. He had always commented on what a well behaved dog sadie was and could never believe she was still a puppy as she was such a well mannered dog the few healthy times he had seen her. She really was.
