Yesterday I brought Dallas home again. I had been anxious to bring her home, but when the call came to tell me she was ready, suddenly I was not so sure. Bringing home her remains would not be the same as bringing her home again.
The people who took care of Dallas were wonderful. the name of the place is Dreamland, in Kennesaw. When they picked her up from the vet's office, they wrapped her body in a blanket, and when they placed her in the vehicle, her head was laid on a pillow. They believe in treating our pets with the same respect a human body deserves.
They also gave me several locks of her hair. Clipped from around the eyes, ears, mouth, back, and heart. Each of these clippings has it's own special meaning. They also gave me a ceramic paw print. Her ashes were placed in an oak box with a very ornately carved top.
