This is beautiful Roxy, her owners had to say goodbye to her a week ago. She passed away peacefully at home on the sofa with her special people around her.

Her owner's tribute:

"Roxy was a cross Border Collie and Jack Russell born in Wales and I met her at 10 weeks old I knew from that moment she was my soul mate πŸ’œsuch an amazing character, she was always by my side in good times and bad times, we had many adventures and she went with me everywhere!! Roxy was my best friend for 16 years and I will never forget her πŸ’œ###x "

Rest in peace precious Roxy πŸΎπŸ’œ

Happy International Women's Day πŸ’–

Happy International Women's Day πŸ’–

She sat at the back and they said she was
shy
She led from the front and they hated her
pride
They asked her advice and then questioned her
guidance
They branded her loud then were shocked by her
silence

When she shared no ambition, they said it was
sad
So she told them her dreams and they said she was
mad
They told her they'd listen then covered their
ears
And gave her a hug whilst they laughed at her
fears

And she listened to all of it, thinking she
should
Be the girl they told her to be, best as she
could
But one day she asked what was best for
herself
Instead of trying to please everyone
else

So she walked to the forest and stood with the
trees
She heard the wind whisper and dance with the
leaves
And she spoke to the willow, the elm and the
pine
And she told them what she'd been told, time after
time

She told them she felt she was never enough
She was either too little or far, far too much
Too loud or too quiet, too fierce or too weak
Too wise or too foolish, too bold or too meek

Then she found a small clearing, surrounded by
firs
And she stopped and she heard what the trees said to
her
And she sat there for hours not wanting to
leave
For the forest said nothing, it just let her
breathe

Breathe πŸ’š on International Women's Day.

When I look up at the sky
I think of you
No matter the time of year

But there's something in the gathering
Of family and friends
That emphasises you not being here

It's a natural time
To feel reflective and pensive
As another year comes to an end

But above all else
I just really miss you
My beautiful furry friend

At this time of year I just want to say I am thinking of all those who have lost precious pets this year, Christmas can be a difficult time, not always full of joy and happiness. So I wanted to send my love and support to each and every one of you.

The picture below is of my πŸ’œcat, Finn looking festive this time last year. We lost him tragically in a car accident in June. I miss him every day.

Paws in Peace will be closed from 24th to 30th December.

I would like to take this opportunity to wish you all a peaceful and happy Christmas. Kate ###

🀍 Top Tips for "Grieving Well" from our Hospital Counsellor, Katie 🀍

πŸƒThere is no set way to feel: The most spoken about model of grieving was KΓΌbler-Ross’s β€˜5 Stages of Grief’. Whilst the feelings within this model are relevant, and many people experience some if not all of these, there is no set order to this, and every emotion you have when grieving is real and valid.

πŸƒ Speak to someone you trust: Disenfranchised grief can feel isolating. Having a trusted friend or professional to talk to can really help you through loss.

πŸƒ Allow yourself to memorialise your pet(s) or hold a funeral: One of the ways we work through grief with humans is to routinely have a funeral of some kind. What you choose to do for your pet is up to you, but it is important not to skip what this represents entirely. Memorialising pets in even a small way can really help us with the grieving process

πŸƒ If you have unanswered medical questions, ask your vet: Unfortunately some of the questions that come up for us in grief are unanswerable, our brains try desperately to fill the unknown gaps and we can be left with a lot of β€˜what ifs’. Whilst vets can’t answer everything, there may be something they can answer that helps you with understanding.

πŸƒ Allow yourself time: There is no grieving timeline to follow. Time allows us the space to feel more ourselves. This is different for all of us, and will be different for each loss you experience, too.

"They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old; Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning.
We will remember them."

Losing your precious pet can be so traumatic, but it can also be a beautiful, even healing experience. At Paws in peace my aim is to make the euthanasia experience as peaceful and stress-free as possible.
This is Tilly, her owner had previously experienced a difficult euthanasia, but gorgeous Tilly was put to sleep at home on the sofa with Anna and Kristina by her side. She fell asleep licking her magnum ice cream... a truly special moment I will never forget.
Anna said it it helped her get over her previous trauma. Tilly's family were all very sad as you would expect, but relieved knowing that she passed away peacefully at home.

I received this lovely review from Gemma and Suzanne. Maxi was a very precious companion for Suzanne and it was a privilege and honour to be able to help her say a peaceful goodbye to her handsome boy at home, lying on the sofa with Suzanne by his side.
Rest in peace Maxi πŸΎπŸ’œ

We cannot thank you enough Kate for how kind and considerate you were at putting our maxi to rest.
Thank you so much for everything from answering late night txts, the advice & support you gave my auntie months before Maxi left us.
You explained everything you were going to do before it happened & answered any question we had, nothing was a silly question.
Your calm and gentle approach made the whole situation a whole lot nicer than we could have imagined Maxi went very peacefully.

You are such a lovely kind lady Kate, cannot thank you enough for your kindness and support over the last few months.

Thinking of you Maxi boy 🐾

HAVE YOU BEEN STRUGGLING WITH GRIEF BRAIN FOG SINCE YOUR PET DIED?

Since your pet died or went missing, has thinking a coherent thought been like wading through treacle? Are you experiencing brain fog that manifests as memory loss, confusion or an inability to concentrate?

Do you walk into a room and forget what you’re there for, miss appointments, struggle to stay organised or feel distracted?

If so, please be reassured that, as scary as it feels, all of this is a natural response to grief and should be temporary.

Pets provide solace, support and sometimes unconditional love. Yet, when they die, much of our grief remains unspoken

Remembering Marley πŸΎπŸ’œ

I received this lovely message from Marley's family, thank you.

"As a family we wanted to personally say thank you for yesterday, making the decision was never going to be easy, however, it was heartbreakingly beautiful and peaceful and for that thank you."

"What you do, I am sure cannot always be easy, but what a beautiful service you offer those of us who want our pets to pass in the comfort of their own homes."

Rest in peace handsome, precious boy πŸΎπŸ’œπŸŒˆ
