Despite having no attachment what happens with my remains, and being perfectly fine with no graves for my paternal grandparents (and no services or anything,) for whatever reason, I've always needed to bring my pet's remains home. Growing up, well, hope no one ever digs too deep under the rosebushes at the old house. My parents have also buried past pets (and the occasional feral 'pet' from their small colony) in the yard.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
Well, today took a turn for the worse when my mother called to tell me she's been diagnosed with early-stage breast cancer. Meeting with the surgeon next week, so we'll know a lot more about what's going on then.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Oh, Dana, so sorry. Early stage is REALLY curable, though, so that's good.

Shit, Dana, I'm sorry. Glad it is an early stage.

Yeah, everyone's said very reassuring things. It should be fine.

I'm glad they caught it early, Dana. I hope treatment is as painless and effective as possible.

Oddly enough, my paternal grandparents also had no graves or services. My grandfather donated his body to Washington University, an act my mother dubbed 'the ultimate in alumni giving.' I never felt the lack of service or gravesite.
Anyhow, I think you should have Devi's full and proper name on her box. That seems only right.
(((Dana))) I didn't see your post until just now. Much ~ma to you and your mother.

Fuck, Dana, I'm sorry.

Because books.
Oh, Dana, that's scary. I'm glad it's early stages.
I'm glad you have Devi home, sara.

Seems like this should go in a separate post:
I've got beloved pets buried in backyards that aren't mine anymore, mostly. Some beloved humans have graves, some don't, I hardly ever visit regardless, but I think about the humans and the felines pretty often, which seems more important. Bringing something home I totally get, though, ashes or a collar or whatever.
