I've had a nagging desire to be a presence in the pet memorial space for several years. To be honest, I can only imagine the number of eye-rolls that happened after I left conversations, having mentioned that I was back on the pet memorial thing. After all, I had announced launching it many times, only to find myself stuck in the proverbial mud and eventually giving up. There were lots of reasons for that, but the key to finally positioning myself rightly was getting some help. It turns out you can't always do everything yourself, and having someone to keep you accountable is a big deal. I needed someone who held the same compassion for animals and the humans they care for, as well as someone who had the drive to help me keep going. Once I found that, there was a whole new inspiration. I came up with solutions to a few other obstacles that had stopped me previously, and here we are.

   

   The simple fact is, we're just like you. We don't just love our animals because of the joy they bring us. We love them because they're a part of the family. It's a mutual bond. They need us and we need them. We find it incredibly important to honor that bond, as our motto states, especially in times grief and loss. Sure, we can deliver you a beautiful work of art to cherish and commemorate a pet that is still with us, but when we are forced to gaze into their loving eyes through memories on opposite sides of the Rainbow Bridge, it helps to have a memorial that matches the love we feel for them.
