In Memory Of ...

The joy of having loved a pet has a perpetual place in our hearts. We offer this section of our Web site for you to memorialize your beloved companion.

Please share your pictures and remembrances.

From Your Pet In Heaven
For all the times that you have stooped and touched my
   head,
fed me my favorite treat and returned the love that I
   so unconditionally gave to you
  
for the care that you gave to me so unselfishly
for all of these things I am grateful and thankful.
  
I ask that you not grieve for the loss, but rejoice in the fact 
   that we lived, loved and touched each other’s lives.
My life was fuller because you were there – not as a
   master or owner, but as my friend.
 
Today I am as I was in my youth.
The grass is always green, butterflies flit among the flowers
and the sun shines gently down upon all of God’s
   creatures.
 
I can run, jump, play and do all the things that I did in my
   youth.
There is no sickness, no aching joints, no regrets and no
   aging.
 
We await the arrival of our lifelong companions and know
   that togetherness is forever.
Companions such as you are so rare and unique.
Don’t hold the love that you have within yourself;
Give it to another like me, and then I will live forever.
For love never really dies, and you are loved and missed
   as surely as we are.
-Ken Conover
