By regularly recording your thoughts you will gain insight into your behaviors and moods. Having trouble starting? To begin, for five to ten minutes just start writing in a stream-of-consciousness. Then, cultivate a good attitude by maintaining a daily list of things you appreciate, including uplifting quotes. Do this until it becomes second nature and you can cut right to the things you really want to say.

Not everyone is lucky enough to be loved by a pet, and therefore some won't understand what it's like to lose someone so important. Looking for additional support? Visit our website for resources.

The Legend of the P***y Willow

According to an old Polish legend, many springtimes ago a mother cat was crying at the bank of the river in which her kittens were drowning. The willows at the river’s edge longed to help her, so they swept their long graceful branches into the waters to rescue the tiny kittens who had fallen into the river while chasing butterflies. The kittens gripped on tightly to their branches and were safely brought to shore. Each springtime since, goes the legend, the willow branches sprout tiny fur-like buds at their tips where the tiny kittens once clung.

There are three ways that pets are cremated: Private - one pet at a time in the retort, Partitione/Individual- other pets are in the retort but separated with potential commingling of cremains, and Group - the pet is in the machine with other pets with no chances of cremains returned to the family. Make sure you are asking your pet death care provider or your veterinarian what is happening with your pet.

Great quote from Winnie the Pooh

There are things you can stop doing right now to achieve happiness. First of all: stop blaming. Taking responsibility when things go wrong instead of blaming others isn't masochistic, it's empowering. Secondly, stop impressing. Genuine relationships make you happier, and you'll only form genuine relationships when you stop trying to impress. Another is: stop waiting for your turn to speak. Listen to what people have to say. They'll love you for it--and you'll love how that makes you feel.

Dogs never really say Goodbye.
They just run ahead, waiting
for the day your footsteps
will join theirs again ..

This article addresses some real concerns with the pet cremation business, and is the main reason we opened our business in 2013. Pets in our care are not frozen, not bagged and we specialize in private cremation, meaning there are no other pets in the cremation unit with your pet. In Indiana, pet cremation is not regulated. An Individual cremation is not a private cremation- your pet is in the cremation unit with other pets, supposedly seperated by space. However, you will not just be getting your pet's remains returned to you because the heat in the cremation unit creates a wind force that comingles the animals during the cremation process. THIS is why you need to ask for additional information about your pet's cremation.

We have several vet clinics we partner with, who genuinely care about pets' aftercare- Above and Beyond Animal Care in Avon, The Integrative Veterinary Clinic in Westfield, and The Indy Animal Surgery Center in Zionsville. We encourage you to support these veterinary practices, because if they care this much about your pet's aftercare treatment when they pass, imagine how much they will care for them when they're still here.

As their pet parent, the choice on who provides your pet's aftercare is ultimately yours. Make sure you ask questions of your veterinarian or the provider you choose.

What does "We’ll take care of this for you" really mean?

Oh, so true! Fun fact: according to city ordinances in Boulder, Colorado, you are not a pet “owner” but rather a pet “guardian.”
