This month Forever Memories Pet Care turned 3!
I am so thankful to be able to provide a service I am so passionate about in the communities I grew up in. Oftentimes, calling me is the first step in the grieving process and I hope I can continue to make that process a little easier for years to come.
In honor of FMPCās anniversary, Iād like to invite everyone to share a memory of your pets that have passed that you now hold in your hearts and memories. Taking time to reflect on the life once lived and celebrating our pets for who they were is a big part of why I chose the name Forever MEMORIES. They may no longer be with us physically, but we will always have the memories of times shared.
I will go firstā¦.
This is Potato. She came to me during my short stint at Animal Emergency Clinic. Her owner loved her dearly, but during her stay at the hospital they experienced their own health crisis and could not take her back. I volunteered to be her home and caregiver for her golden years. Since she was already an old lady, she was fairly set in her ways - which included demanding breakfast at an early hour with ear piercing barks. She never met a rug she didnāt also think was a potty pad and had a comical waddle that I never really knew if it was from arthritic changes or just how she was put together. Her favorite hobby was sleeping on one very specific square of the couch and no one else was allowed to sit there or they would get barked at while her abnormally long tongue flopped about. She liked laying RIGHT next to you, but not on you. She hated the car. Her decline was gradual - her fun waddle outside turned into laying next to me while the other dogs ran, she stopped waking up to use the bathroom, and her seizures were less controlled. She passed on her favorite spot on the couch, after eating a giant spoon full of peanut butter. Iām glad I was able to share part of my time in this life with her.
