🐾 First goal for 2026: (top map)
A copy of Magnum’s Final Goodbye in each state! These are the states thus far in the last two months I sold books in.
I want to continue to share Magnum’s life story and help families who struggle to find the words to say to their children when a beloved pet is about to cross over the Rainbow Bridge or already has.

🐾Second goal for 2026: (bottom map)
Continuing features on various Podcast. I am helping spread awareness about what exactly an End of Life Stage Pet Doula does. I am striving to be a resource for families who struggle with saying goodbye to their furry family member. Here’s to entering my 16th year advocating for animals. Below is a map of podcast states(and a country)crossed off my list!

If you know of any podcast in states that have not been paw stamped, give them a tag.
If you know of any families that may benefit from my children’s book, send them my way. I’d love to connect and get to know their special pet. Of course, the share button is always welcome!

Lastly, THANK YOU to everyone that has supported me during this journey. It took a lot of work to get to where I am. My family, my friends, every share, every tag, every doula client, every podcast host, every book purchase, every retail location, every book signing event, every review, every follow up message telling me how this book helped, every tear and smile shared by the readers….all of it does not go unseen or unappreciated. Here’s to all the animals that left us in 2025, and the ones before. 🌈❤️

For every smile behind tears, there is a tail wagging for you over The Rainbow Bridge.

We’re often told "it was just an animal," yet for many of us, the loss of a pet is one of the most shattering heartbreaks we will ever experience. In this deeply compassionate season finale of Nothing Happens for a Reason, we confront the silence around pet loss and the unique pain that comes with saying goodbye to our beloved companions.
Claire welcomes Kristen, an end-of-life pet doula and retired veterinary technician, who shares her own soul-stirring journey through loss, love, and advocacy. Together, we explore why the bond with our animals is so profound, the agonizing challenge of knowing when to let go, and how we can honor a pet’s dignity through their final moments.
This episode offers a raw look at:
• Anticipatory Grief: Navigating the "long goodbye" before the end arrives.
• No Hierarchy in Loss: Validating why pet grief is just as real as any other.
• Hard Conversations: How to support children through pet loss using Kristen’s new children’s book (Magnum's Final Goodbye) as a guide to normalizing death.
Whether you’ve already said goodbye, are facing that moment now, or have felt unseen in your grief, this episode holds space for you. It’s a gentle reminder that every kind of love deserves to be honored and every animal deserves a dignified goodbye.

*united with family*
Kiln, MS
Just picked this dog up walking on the bridge by Jordan River Steamer. VERY scary situation-he almost got hit by a car.
Bringing to the shelter.
Does he look familiar to you?
