We all do special things to remember our pets who have passed. For me, Mama planted a garden in my memory.
She even had a friend paint a special rock with my picture and my name on it.
There are many ways to remember a special pet and help ease the heartbreak of losing them, but have you ever considered where it really starts? For many people it is at the pet cemetery where arrangements are made.
At Wayside Waifs, there is a special department just for times like those. Pet Memorial Services is a quiet spot behind the shelter where Mama took me after I went to the Rainbow Bridge. They were very kind and compassionate. While Mama and Dad were there, not only were they cared for by the people who work there, but by another special employee, Miss Ellie.
Miss Ellie had been up for adoption at Wayside Waifs. The folks at Pet Memorial Services looked at her resume and decided she would be a good fit with them. Guess what? They were right! Miss Ellie does a great job of offering comfort to grieving families.
It was so nice for Mama to have a kitty to pet while she was making hard decisions. Miss Ellie didn't even mind the tears. I hope that when the time comes, you have a similar expert to get you through that moment.
