Pet Loss
Celebrate their precious lives


A very happy day indeed it is to take home your new little puppy. Pet Loss is the last thing on your mind as they become an integral part of any loving pet owner's life.  This little bundle soon fills your life in ways you would never expect.  They are there to get you out of bed in the morning, give you a reason to prepare a meal, go for a walk, or give you uncomplaining company when curling up on the sofa. 

Pet Loss, Pet Loss Poems, Grieving loss of pet, Small dog breeds

The young puppy, soon grows up into a dependable, loving and devoted creature, that becomes part of your family.  Any thought of their passing is a long way off, however, as too many of us have discovered, this is something we need to plan for, emotionally, practically and financially. Small dog breeds often offer greater companionship due to the nature of their size, they are most likely to be "lap dogs" having a particularly close bond with their owners.

As your beloved animal grows older, we have to face the facts, that one day we may need to end their suffering which they inevitably will endure in their old age. When this day comes, you need to be prepared and also need to know what you are going to do to honor your beloved pet, in a painless death, plan their cremation, and prepare a memorial in some way to give closure to the wonderful times you shared together.  In order that your children are able to understand where there playmate has gone, it is important to involve them in the loving and caring process of your pet loss.

For Inspirational Dog Quotes

Pet Loss Poems can help you to cherish your memories.

BLESS OUR PETS
They say memories are golden.
Well, maybe that is true,
I never wanted memories,
I only wanted you.
A million times I needed you,
A million times I cried.
If love alone could have saved you.
You never would have died.
In life I loved you dearly,
In death I love you still.
In my heart you hold a place
No one could ever fill.
If tears could build a stairway
And heartache a lane,
I'd walk the path to heaven
And bring you back again.
Our family chain is broken,
And nothing seems the same.
But as we are called one by one,
The chain will link again.


When grieving loss of your pet, you may find comfort in finding appropriate poems or plant a tree in their memory, this makes a wonderful living memorial to your best friend who offered you unconditional love, and total devotion throughout their lives.

However you decide to prepare for your devastating loss, you will gain great comfort from knowing that your loving friend, had a dignified death and were given the rightful time for mourning and planning their memorials.
