6:30 ish a.m. <\/p>\n

Bear and I walked out to the teepee, took a right and followed the Nature Trail to a summit we like.<\/p>\n

The swing is just in front of the teepee.<\/p>\n

Light in the sky on our return turned the morning sky pastel pink and blue.<\/p>\n

The green area is the RV park – beautifully landscaped to provide shade and privacy.<\/p>\n

Such a beautiful morning for Bear and me.<\/p>\n

Mid morning, I took a break for a Jeep ride with Bear and a walk along the Missouri on our loop walk at the state park. <\/p>\n

We passed Big Sky Animal Medical Center. I had planned to phone and let them know I was in town and to see if they could let the crematory know…<\/p>\n

As I passed, I just felt like I should stop.<\/p>\n

I did.<\/p>\n

Carly was helping someone else but she saw me, smiled and said “I was going to phone you next”.<\/p>\n

Bob’s ashes were back from the crematory and I have them. The crematory put together a most beautiful and comforting package which included a certificate, a packet with a tuft of Bob’s fur and Bob’s ashes in a gorgeous tin painted with pansies. <\/p>\n

I love pansies.<\/p>\n

It all caught me a bit off guard. The fur nearly undid me. But, ultimately, it was all comforting.<\/p>\n

I don’t believe that Bob’s spirit is in the earthly remains, but for me, it is comforting and helpful and I am so grateful to have this part of him with Bear and I as we go home.<\/p>\n

A beautiful morning, in all ways.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
