The holidays kinda sucked this year

Today, I picked up Cleo's cremated remains. The cremation service is done by a local funeral home, and they do a really nice job. They provide the ashes in a little urn, and give you a small clay disc with your pet's paw print and name. Oddly, they come in a bag that looks a little too much alife a gift bag for my comfort. Though, heck if I know what I'm going to do with the ashes. I'm not ready to think about it yet.

In a few months, I'll be ready to think about another cat. Or maybe a small dog. I'm not sure yet how Zeus would do with another cat. He wasn't too great with the last one. Not aggressive, just overly excited and really annoying. But this has been a reminder of how important it is to me to have more than one pet. I'm not the kind of person who can get by without something furry and cuddly in my life.
