My Pug Scoop (Precious Scoop has passed... )

Thank you everyone. You are all so sweet. I brought my Scoop home this afternoon. It was so very hard. My tears flow anytime, anywhere I am and picking up Scoop was very hard. They flowed quite a bit then. I wanted to bring him home from the hospital when he was better. Not the way I did today. We made our last ride together in the car. I took his blanket and his pug bag along like I used to when we would go in the car.
I sleep holding that blanket and his little coat that he wore when it was cold out. My daughter brought home some flowers for Scoop. A bouquet of field flowers with sun flowers. She wants Scoop to have sunflowers.
I got a certificate saying it was an individual cremation. There is also a beautiful poem. The box is a beautiful wooden carved box with a plate on the front with "Scoop" on it.

I got another card in the mail today. I was a little confused at first. The return address was from Morris Animal Foundation. The card says Dear Kostick Family, The Doctors and Staff of Allentown Animal Clinic made a contribution to Morris Animal Foundation
In Memory of Scoop
This generous gift supports science that will make the world a brighter place for animals & those who care about them.
We hope you find comfort in knowing that your loved one's memory will live on through future generations of animals & the people who love them.
Please accept our heartfelt condolences for your loss.

The Allentown Animal Clinic was Scoop's GP Vet. That was so very thoughtful of them.

That is wonderful! The vet is paying it forward in Scoop's name.

Hi Vicki, we have Lulu in a nice wooden box too. Look at her every day. You know we are all a bit happier, including our two cats, Nellie, by my side now, before I retire, I was really worried about. I now that our Stanley, pit-bull mix is no yellow lab Lulu, but I even see the difference in her. She is our skinny cat sister, but I think she even got skinnier after Lulu was gone. I will still say Lulu's name to her and pet her, to let her know that Stanley doesn't replace Lulu, but rather is a gift, that I believe perhaps Lulu helped arrange for us. Lulu wants her cat sister to carry on and be happy, like she used to be cuddled up with Lulu.

It hasn't got to that point yet, but Nellie doesn't run off as much, and Stanley is so good with cats in the house, that he doesn't usually give it a thought they are here, though he does like to start a chase occasionally.

Dear Vikki,

I am glad Scoop is now home where he knew so much love.

(((HUGS)))

Vicki:
I just cry uncontrollably when I read your posts. My heart hurts so badly for you. I wish I could take this hurt all away for you. I as so sorry for the way Scoop's journey ended. He is gone way too soon. I find myself waking in the middle of the night more and more, talking to God and asking him for a miracle for my girl. I knew from the beginning when you first started posting that you adored your sweet boy. I wish I could go back in time and change this all for you. I hate to think of you suffering like this. I thought about having my Tipper preserved as I don't think I can stand never seeing her again. I am not certain that I could handle seeing her that way though. I am torn, but want to try and think ahead as I know what a basket case I will be. It's funny the things you think of and do when you are desperate. God Help you thru this Vicki, and God Bless Scoop.

nice to see you got your baby back home with you and received a wonderful send off from the vets office,such a kind gesture... sending you wishes for a peaceful heart and abundant blessings...take care vicki we are all here for you hun...patty(milo)meka xoxox

I got another card today. It is from the doctors Scoop saw back in November. He went to a hospital about an hour and a quarter away from where we live. That is where he had his first MRI. It looked at his ear and his tumor. He saw the neurologist there and an IMS. So that is where he had his ear surgery done.
The doctors he saw there signed a card. I thought that was very nice of them since it has been a while since he had been there.
We got 9 cards and the book signed by the hospital where he passed away at.

Sending hugs and prayers, what wonderful vets you had for your Angel....

Hi Vicki,
I'm just dropping in to give you a big hug. I wish it could be more:o It was very thoughtful the docs to send you those cards.xxxxx
