Ways to honor your loved one

 If you have some quality time to spend together:

• Make a bucket list of their favorite things to do and  commit to completing as many as possible
• Take long walks, if they are unable to walk consider walking them in a wagon or stroller
• Hold a photo shoot – photos are the most wonderful way to capture the special moments and keep them for a lifetime
• Treat them to their favorite foods, snacks and/or toys
• Put aside a designated time each day to spend with them, no phone, no tv, no distractions. Just you and them and whatever they want to do.
• Shower them with love

Once they have crossed the Bridge:

• Hold a funeral, many pet cemeteries have services
• Create a memorial space
• Write them letters – or create an online memorial, there are many sites such as Letters to Pushkin
• Plant a tree/flowering plant as a memorial
• Hold an event to honor their life
• Donate your time to a local shelter or rescue
• Get a tattoo
• Quilts, collages and photo gifts to capture their spirit
• Sponsor a pup in need
• Memorial jewelry to keep them close to you
• Memorial stones for the yard
• Keep their collar or a favorite toy on the mantle to display
• Make a donation in their memory
• Help others in need
• Adopt a pup and share the much love you still have to give
