The bill from the vet arrived today.
Veterinary expenses incurred while tending to Little Boy in his final hours in this lifetime: $730.40.
Burial (by local excavator, bill arrived yesterday): $150.00*
What I paid for Little Boy in 1992: $450.00
Having Little Boy be part of our lives all those years ...
Priceless.
Run free, my dear boy.
* Less than anticipated, actually, given the time and care the guy took.
P.S. Yesterday I raked over the area where he is buried in our back yard and scattered grass seed around and tried rather unsuccessfully to rake it into the soil. I didn't water because, silly as it sounds, I was wiped out. Today a gentle rain came, not a hard and driving one, and I am grateful for that.
