I lost my big boy [update]

Heres the original post. https://www.reddit.com/r/dogpictures/s/aWl2IPxoqn

I just wanted to give an update and let everyone know that I got my big boy, Jackson (Jax) back today. The vet was kind enough to make an imprint of his paw for me and my wife had collected some of his hair that he had shed to put in the urn.

It’s been a rough week that’s had me stuck in thought mostly. I’ve been playing the last 10 years of his life over in my head and just remembering all of lovely times. It’s been mostly pleasant. I’ve also been frustrated with myself over things I knew were out of my control and panic attacks over whether I made a choice too soon (the denial stage). I’ve felt uneasy coming home and not seeing my happy guy just waiting to see me. But I feel some kind of closure having his ashes back and just him with me again. I’ve been making sure to keep my other baby plenty of company and ensuring she doesn’t feel lonely. She’s not wanted to do much, but we got her eating, drinking and going on small walks.

My other reason for this post is to thank all of you who commented on my original post, lending me your love, support and even your own stories of loss, which I’d also like to leave my condolences. Upvoting this post isn’t necessary, as I’m just eternally grateful you all took the time out of your day(s) to lend me your kind words in my time of grief. I would like to leave some more pictures of my buddy including his final one and his urn.

Thank you, sincerely.
