Fur-Ever in our Hearts

Losing a pet is losing a cherished family member. It’s a devastating experience, and we are all aware that, sadly, our furry companions do not live as long as we do. Despite knowing this inevitability and the accompanying heartache, we choose to welcome pets into our lives because the love and joy they bring far outweigh the sorrow of their eventual loss.

As pet care professionals, we feel this grief more often than most. When you share your beloved family member with us, we develop a bond and grow to love them. We become familiar with their unique quirks and favorite spots for scratches. We teach them to make friends and use a doggie door; we hold them when they are scared and we comfort them when they need some extra love.  We come to know all their little nuances and the fact that they won’t go to sleep unless they are sung a certain song, or their ears are rubbed just the right way. So, when we receive that phone call from you that you don’t want to make... and that we don’t want to receive.... our hearts shatter as well. We cry, reminisce, and look through old photos, sharing stories because we, too, have lost a dear friend.

This page serves as a way for us to hold onto the memories of our friends after they’ve departed. We are incredibly grateful for the privilege of caring for your beloved family members.

So, here’s to our friends who are no longer with us. Thank you for the joy and love you brought into our lives. You will be Fur-Ever in our hearts.
