A heartfelt way to commemorate your pet during the holidays is by making an ornament or decoration in their memory. This could be their paw print, a toy attached to a string, a personalized ornament, or simply something that makes you think of them.

One meaningful way to celebrate a cherished pet who has passed away during the holiday season is to give back in their memory. You might consider volunteering at a nearby animal shelter, making a donation to a charity that holds significance for you in their name, or bringing treats to the veterinary hospital that cared for your beloved companion. Often, the best way to nurture ourselves is by caring for others.

December is Cat Lovers Month, a time to honor the quiet purrs, soft paws, and unconditional love our feline companions bring into our lives.
For those navigating the harder chapters of a cat’s life, please know you’re not alone. Our team is here to support and guide you along the way. If you’d like, share a favorite photo or memory of your cat in the comments below - we'd love to honor them with you.

As a reminder, we will be closed today for the holiday, and will be unavailable to help via phone or email. We will be back in the office tomorrow, November 28th, at 7am to help support you and your beloved companions. If you are experiencing an emergency with your pet, please contact the closest emergency clinic.

One way to keep your pet’s memory close by is to commission a drawing or a painting by a local artist, or maybe even a friend. We don't have a specific artist to recommend because they are all so good, but there are many talented artists both locally and online who can bring a photo memory to life and so you can have a treasured memory in your home.

A beautiful poem written and shared with permission by Thor's family ❤️

Early Snow

The snow came down for you that morning, Thor.

It was the first flurry of the year, arriving early, as if Mother Nature knew you wanted to feel some cold, wet flakes on your big, beautiful head one last time.

You greeted those flakes with pure joy, running (briefly) like a pup again—one last time.

Yes! It was a happy day! With belly rubs and (lots of) forbidden treats.

You played in the front yard—one last time.

You rambled Ash Creek, sniffing familiar briny air—one last time.

(And the heron called to us. I swear he did. Or maybe it was my imagination.)

You snuggled with me by the fireplace—one last time.

And then, right on cue, the sun came out for you—one last time.

Sleep well, beautiful friend.

Breathe easy, sleep well.

In Memory of Thor

They will not go quietly,
the pets who've shared our lives.
In subtle ways they let us know
their spirit still survives.
Old habits still can make us think
we hear them at the door
Or step back when we drop
a tasty morsel on the floor.
Our feet still go around the place
the food dish used to be,
And, sometimes, coming home at night,
we miss them terribly.
And although time may bring new friends
and a new food dish to fill,
That one place in our hearts
belongs to them
and always will.

Today, our hearts are with every family who has faced the difficult journey of canine lymphoma — and with every beloved dog who fought with quiet strength and endless love.
We’ve been honored to support families during some of the most tender and emotional moments of their lives. We’ve witnessed the deep bond between pets and their people — and we know just how hard it is to say goodbye.

💛 If your dog is currently battling lymphoma, please know:
You are not alone. Your love matters more than words can say. And every moment you share is a gift.

💛 If you’ve already said goodbye, we hold space for your grief — and honor the paw prints forever left on your heart. We are here to walk alongside you with care and compassion.
