Before you say your final fare- well to your best friend you may want to think about how you want to remember them. The following are just a few things that have been suggested by owners.

• Tie and save a lock of fur (I always bring ribbons)
• Take a paw print (I have Sculpey but you may want to cast a garden paver)
• Keep some of those whiskers that tickled you awake
• Make a shadow box with toys and collar
• Make a pillow from neckerchiefs stuffed with fur
• Have a stone or plaque inscribed for the garden
• Plant flowers or bulbs that will bloom annually
• Donate food or belongings to a shelter
• Contribute to an appropriate animal cause (Suggestions are MAF, DDFL, Argus Institute)
• Draw or paint a picture
• Write a letter, a story or a poem
• Share your precious stories, especially the ones that make you smile
• Make a photo story album.
