| When my Dachshund, Topper died in October, 2003 at age 15 1/2, I wanted to find a way of memorializing his joy for life. I thought that a memorial stone in our garden would be a fitting tribute and reminder that he is always with us. But all I could find were engraved tombstones similar to what we put in cemeteries. I didn't want a reminder of his death...I wanted a reminder of his life. So I decided to create my own pet memorial rock. More than anything else, Topper loved water. He would hike along a mountain trail with me in the Sierra Nevada in Northern California, until we would come upon a cold mountain stream. Then he would bolt straight for the water, plop himself down in the shallows, and smile up at the heavens in pure ectasy. You never saw a happier dog. It was his favorite place to be, and that's what I tried to capture on his pet memorial rock. Every pet has activities or places that are special to him and his owner. Maybe it was the beach, the mountains, or just in front of the fireplace. It's that special place or time that I would like to create for you, as a tribute to your best friend, on a pet memorial rock. Email me and tell me about your pet. Perhaps he loved to jog with you in the park. Maybe he was a Frisbee pro. Or was it just his gentleness that you remember most. Tell me about it, and I will try to capture it on a hand painted river rock made smooth over time by the flowing waters of the American River. Or you can choose one of the scenes on the Gallery Page. I will personalize your memorial stone with your pet's name and any words or dates you wish to include. I will even send you a "proof" sketch for your approval before beginning your pet memorial rock. The paints are weatherproof, and the stone is finished with a sealer to withstand the elements. It will remain as a permanent memorial of love for your pet. When I look at Topper's Stone in our garden, I am reminded of all the happy times we spent together. While the grief of losing him never subsides, his pet memorial rock reinforces my belief that the bond that can be formed between man and animal makes it all worth it. |
