The above drawing puts me in mind of an incident we experienced.
Most dog parents have one special pup above all others, ours was Einstein. When he passed, we were just destroyed. After he was put down, the vet asked us if we wanted him cremated and have his ashes. We were so screwed up we weren't thinking straight, and said no. We had never had one cremated to save his ashes before, so that was not out of the ordinary.
About two weeks later, I was out metal detecting in a local park, and dug up a heart shaped pendant, heavily crusted with dirt. Threw it in my pouch, and went about about my business.
When I got back home, the was a message from the vet saying they had a pick up for me. We were waiting for a prescription for our other pup, so I went to pick it up. They had the prescription, and Einstein's ashes.
I was stunned, and asked who paid for them. ($150) They said "We assumed you did."
I called the crematorium, and they said they had no record of the cremation, under our name, or the vet's, or his office. The vet swears he did not pay, and the crematorium got pretty irritated with me for pushing the issue, as they claimed they had no record of it, and had not made a delivery to our vet's office in two weeks. The ashes were clearly marked with his name & our last name.
Gave up, and went home to clean my finds from metal detecting. When I cleaned the heart shaped pendant, I found this- the pic isn't great, but it shows a sitting dog with angel wings, and says
"Guardian Angel of Dogs'"
