Memories in an Urn
We got a call to pick up Baobao’s ashes today. We’d paid for and expected an urn. But what they didn’t tell us was that they’d also included a little surprise — an impression of Baobao’s paws preserved in clay! They also did a nice job with the urn with Baobao’s name nicely “decorated” on the urn.
When we arrived at the vet to pick up the urn, Bryan thought we were there to take Baobao home. So when we told him Baobao was in a tiny little box, he got confused and paused for a second. He still has a tough time understanding where’d Baobao gone.

I can’t believe they made you paw prints! That’s so cool!

Yeah. It’s a nice and much appreciated addition to the ashes in the urn. It makes the urn more personal and “visual”, which makes it easier to relate to just an “urn” without some kind of familiar element to remind us of her.
