Justin's cremain

I was given Justin's cremain today. Along with the beautiful box that his ashes came in, there was also a clay impression of his paw print.

It is sad that all that is left of the beautiful puppy is in the wooden box. Justin was cheated out of the chance to be adopted into a good loving home. The only comfort that I can take is the fact that Justin's ending was not like that of Zephyr's. He went knowing love and human kindness from the staff at the hospital where he was taken to after we got him out of the Carson shelter. He got to experience the wonderful feeling of walking out of the Carson shelter through the front gate then jumping into my rescue partner's car where he enjoyed the ride immensely. Justin was able to live the last few days of his short life being cared for by compassionate people who loved him.
