You want to remember your beloved pet. Why not put a bench or a stone marker in your garden or somewhere along your favorite walk? And to make it extra special, why not make your own?

Of all the dogs I know, the one breed that’s sure to get me down on my knees, gushing, in an instant is the Doxie! Also known as wiener or sausage dog or, more traditionally, the Dachshund. I love everything about them and really hope to be getting my very own next year! Until then, here’s some pictures that’ll show you why the doxie is the dog for me!

Larry the Lobster
Great news everybody, Larry the 70 year ld lobster will not be eaten! Between all the sadness, I like the occasional light note, a pet that didn’t die, an amazing rescue, owner and pet being reunited after years and years…
That Christian the Lion video always makes me sob like a baby!
Anyway, here was a bit of good news to cheer your day:

big dog, little puppy
Anyone who´s ever loved a pet will recognize this: your little friend has been taken away and you´re at a loss what to do next. When people die, there´s this whole ritual. Everybody offers their condolences, there´s a burial, a grave, a place to visit. People reminisce, and usually you´re not the only one who´s heartbroken.

Ordinary Tabby
When I was a little girl, I used to play in our local park, which is lovely and surround an old castle. Us local kids played there all the time, imagining all kinds of wonderful fairy tales.
There are lots of little nooks and hideaway holes and somewhere in a lovely little open spot there´s a memorial.
It´s a small head stone, thanking the “Bristly Haired Creature that came in from the dark one night” for all the years she was a trusted companion. It took me years to realize that the aformentioned creature was not some kind of fantasy monster, but the owner´s cat.
After I figured it out, at first I was slightly disappointed that it was all just for a cat, but over the years I started to love that memorial all the more, because it was simply for a stray kitty who wandered in through the open window one summer night, over a hundred years ago. I don´t own a castle, yet, but I´d like to give my pets as memorable a send off as well!
