My condolences Bjorn, I know how much the pain of losing a belove pet tears the heart to shreds. It was one of the hardest times for me when I lost my cat Boo to old age, he was ninteen.
I have made a small shrine for all my cats ashes. They are to be cast to the wind with my ashes when that time comes.
Revel in the thoughts of the times spent with Little John, knowing his love for you was without bound. They give so much, and ask for so little in return.
