Well this package I assumed was her ashes so I started crying and shaking pretty badly. I didn't want to open it, but I had to. When I finally got it open...I had to use a knife and like I said I was shaking really bad, I was so surprised.

The vets baked a clay impression of her pawprints. They painted her pawprints pink and someone had even hand painted a border of pink roses around the paws..with her name on the back. It's beautiful. Absolutely beautiful. I was not expecting this at all. I was so surprised I just stood there crying and hugging it. The team of vets who tried to save her life all signed a card and wrote about how sweet she was, how she touched them in her final moments. That's Rosie. The most sweet, innocent, fragile, angelic creature I've ever known. I can fit my pinkie finger in the indention of her tiny paw pads. Yes, they were tiny, but they left HUGE pawprints on my heart....

I am so thankful we took her to A&M. I'm blown away by them. They are the best vets in Texas. Rosie received the best care possible and we tried hard to save her...but it was her time...anway, I'm just so grateful they sent me this last gift. I will treasure it forever.

That's so beautiful! Gave me tears reading it.
