Each dog is so very special. They are special in two ways. One, the obvious, they being the wonderful, loving creatures they naturally are. But, also, the love that they create between themselves and their humans. That love is so special and unique. I am present to that love every time I get honored to [...]
Each year we get a chance to start over. Actually, each moment is a chance to start over, but we, as humans, like the symbolic nature of the new year.
The new year is a wonderful thing. What are you going to take on? What are you going to wish for? What are you going to [...]
Christmas trees.
Ho ho ho’s and happy songs.
Family and hearth.
Candles, Menorahs, and twinkling lights.
You can still find joy in these when you are suffering the grief of a lost pet. We have so many emotions. They do not take turns. More than one can exist in the same moment. You can be walking in the mall [...]
It can be a very difficult time of year without your pet. There may be an empty space, a lack of wholeness, a hyper-awareness of what is missing. But it doesn’t have to be.
There is a bittersweet joy in sorrow. The memories of the wonderful times shared. Those memories can come bubbling up when we [...]
With loss comes emptiness. Something missing. An empty space. We look at this empty space with sadness, with longing. We thing there is less of us now. A hole in our being.
What we tend to miss something huge. That empty space does not have to stay empty. We can choose to fill it with love. [...]
Sweetness. Love. Light. That’s what these angels are. Bonnie, Lucy, Pumpkin, Gemini, Abbey, Fumble, Libby, Sequioa, Snuggles, Sweet Pea, Yuri, all you angels!
I am creating a new urn for Harvey Mushman. His wonderful mom sent me an adorable video (below), and it got me thinking. Almost all of us have some form of taping mechanism, even in our phones. Why not take a few minutes and just record your dog or cat. They don’t need to be [...]
Thank you.
For your love.
For your kindness.
For your patience.
For the peace you brought to my life.
For the warmth of your fur.
And of your heart.
For distracting my from my problems.
For making me laugh at the most inconvenient times.
For being ready to go with me at a moment’s notice.
For the pitter patter of your toenails on the floor.
For [...]
To honor all the sweet angels that I have created pet urns for, I have started making videos of them. This is my first foray. I do need to redo it in terms of size and quality, hopefully this weekend.
I am trying it out here anyway. Maybe you can see your little one here (if [...]
Meet Buster. I am making an urn for him and his dad sent me some photos. I chose to put up this one because of the combined sweetness and humor (and reward for being such a good boy). O.k., I chose this one because of his grace, elegance and power.
Yes, well, I am putting up [...]
