Keepsakes for Pets

Thomas Campbell once said, "To live in hearts we leave behind is not to die". Anyone who has loved and lost a companion animal can certainly attest to the truth in that statement. While all of our beloved pets toys and belongings will eventually be removed from our homes, perhaps stored away for us to find and reminisce over down the road, their memory will never be gone from our own, and certainly not our hearts. While that is true, it does not make the loss of a pet any easier. There is perhaps no better word to describe an individual after suffering such a loss except, truly heartbroken. The truth is, a pet is not as easily replaced as a lost toy or run-down pair of shoes. These beautiful creatures are completely unique in themselves, and fill a void in our lives that we may have not even known existed. Moreover, they are a constant source of comfort and joy in our lives, and when that is taken away, the pain left in their place is all but palpable.
