• commemorated his life:
— shellfish.care (@CareShellfish) May 1, 2019
one of the best ways to find closure is to hold a memorial service. whether you choose to bury your dog or scatter his ashes in a place that holds special meaning, a memorial service gives you and your family the chance to say goodbye. - A way to expand efforts…
I’ve recently started a Patreon in an effort to go bigger with what I am doing to honor our little ones when they pass. If you are inspired to contribute even $1, it would be so appreciated. 🙂
