No ceremony or funeral; she wants to be cremated, and have us sneak her ashes into the flowerbeds around the Haunted Mansion at Disneyland. No, she wasn't kidding.
That's so lovely!
Steph, I'm so sorry. It's such a hard decision to make, but I know you guys did what was best for Chloe.
I'm so sorry, Tep. You did right by her. Hugs to both of you, and Kato too.
I feel like going and draping a blanket or sweatshirt on the dog in her honor.

That's lovely. And knowing how to honor her at this time is especially lovely.
Oh, Teppy, I'm so sorry. Having to make that decision when the time comes is absolutely the hardest part of being a good, loving pet owner.
And, Jilli, that's lovely.
Apparently Keith Olbermann just announced that tonight is the last episode of Countdown.
oh, damn, Teppy. The universe needs to take a fucking break, already. Or be about to dump showers of beautiful flowers and music all over us.
I fully support the Mom at Disneyland project.
Is Countdown even on tonight? It doesn't show up in my listings.
I'm pretty sure she'd be okay with that. Dad and I need to talk about logistics, but that makes sense.
If not? Big purse, clumsy "slip" and Bob's your uncle! Just saying. (Morbid humor is needed at these times, I've found. Not at all intending to be glib about the situation, as you know.)
When Pete is done with this current deadline, I'm going to have him design my next tattoo. Something based off the faces from the Haunted Mansion wallpaper, my mom's name, and the dates.
Oh, how lovely.
Hey Kat or anyone else -- got a DonorsChoose project I should support? I forgot I have a Groupon that's expiring soon.
A whole retinue of Jilli Mom's friends and family, discreetly "hanging out" by the planters and giggling madly.
Teppy, I'm so sorry. I know it's hard, even when it's time and it's the right thing to do. She knew her humans loved her.
Jilli, I think that's a wonderful idea. StE's ashes have been scattered, and kept, in many of his favorite places and a couple he would have loved if he'd ever got to see them, which is what he wanted, and what made sense to all of us.
