On the first day off fall, I wanted to take a moment to acknowledge how difficult it can be as we transition into the next season. I think often of the Byrds song Turn, Turn, Turn during our daily work at Paws Finding Peace.
This article from Grief Every After discuss pet loss and grief surrounding the changing of the seasons.
We also have grief resources on our website. ๐Ÿ’œ

Life becomes full of unexpected surprises when youโ€™re grieving your pet. One of which is when the seasons start to change. When nature begins its passage of time and highlights that the world is still spinning, even though your world has slowed to a halt.

Here is a great quote from Jimmy Buffet on National Jimmy Buffet Day ๐Ÿ’œโค๏ธ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿฉท

โ€œGrief is like the wake behind a boat. It starts out as a huge wave that follows close behind you and is big enough to swamp and drown you if you suddenly stop moving forward. But if you do keep moving, the big wake will eventually dissipate. And after a long enough time, the waters of your life get calm again, and that is when the memories of those who have left begin to shine as bright and as enduring as the stars above.โ€

We are having more and more pet families come to our aftercare center in Chicopee after their beloved companions pass at home or are euthanized at the vet clinic. Some families seek out our service because water-based cremation is eco friendly and gentle. Other families choose us beacause we are local and make it very clear their babies will be treated with utmost respect and dignity. Others do not want their pet angels traveling out of state to be handled by a large corporation. And some just love the paw prints and memorial items that we include with our service. Whatever the reason a pet family chooses to use our cremation service, we are just thankful that they have entrusted us to honor their precious pet.

Paws Finding Peace

This is a picture of Mr. Parker (aka. Porker, Mr. P). I met Parker at a park in Athens, GA. I was there taking a walk (contemplating life - I had just moved to a new town/state, was looking for a job, and was trying to get into vet school). Parker was skinny, intact, and not friendly. The park manager said he had been there a few days, Animal Control had tried to catch him without luck. I came back that night and brought him food - he growled at me. The next day I brought more food and he decided to trust me. About 5 minutes after he decided to be my friend Animal Control showed up. He was, sitting in my lap eating treats in a parking lot while growling at the Animal Control Officer. I had a choice - put him in the Animal Control truck or put him in my Honda Accord.

We had 12 wonderful years together. He was a huge goof ball who grew into a total love bug. When Parker was euthanized, the clinic I was working at made a clay paw print. This was the first pet that I had lost for which I had received a clay paw print. It now sits in a shadow box with two pictures Mr. P hamming it up for the camera. I am so thankful for the staff at ESVH for making his paw print - it is a constant reminder of all the joy he brought into my life.

Because I cherish Parkerโ€™s clay paw print so much, Paws Finding Peace will provide a clay paw print of your beloved companion as well.

Telling Parkerโ€™s story reminds me that some of the most important beings come into our life when we are least prepared.
