Remembering your dog

The walks, the waiting at the door, the head on your knee. Some simple ways to keep your dog close.

🕯️ Make a place for your pet

Ways to remember them

• Keep their collar or lead somewhere you see it every day.
• Walk their favourite route on the anniversary.
• Plant something where they liked to lie in the sun.
• Make a photo book of their life, puppy to grey muzzle.
• Give them a place online where their photo stays on the wall and a candle can always be lit.
• Donate to a shelter in their name, so another dog gets a chance.

A few words you could leave

“Thank you for every walk, every wag, every day.”

“You waited at the door for me for 14 years. Now I'll wait for you.”

“Best boy. Always.”
