Classy Pet Urn

I h4215p.jpgwasn’t sure what I was looking for when I started shopping on the net for a pet cremation urn. There was just something  not quite right about alot of the sites and what they offered. I knew when I stumbled onto your site that it was the right one. You had so much to offer with the 30 day guarantee, no tax, free shipping, quality  cremation pet urns, discounts  and pet loss support. The one thing you offered no other site did was you cared, you showed respect and you knew how we felt. Your pet cremation urns were of a large variety and price for everyone. I took my time choosing-asking you alot of questions and I know when I was done that I not only found the right pet urn for my pet but  that I felt comfortable with what I had purchased. You made me feel assured that I found the right people to deal with.  My final pet cremation urn I chose was this beautiful Leaf Heart Cremation Pet Urn. It came in its own box all set and ready to go for a gift if I had wanted to give it away.

When is it a Good Time to Get a New Pet?Getting a new pet before you have had time to work through your grief can cause problems for both you and the pet.  It’s probably not best to get a new cat or dog as soon as you wiped the first bit of dust off of those pet urns.

So when is the right time? There’s no easy answer.  Only you know when too soon is actually too soon.  It may help to talk to your friends and family and maybe you can get a sense of when you’re ready to start anew.

IGarden Grave Memorial MarkerGarden Grave Memorial MarkerGarden Grave Memorial Marker bought one of your new line of Garden Grave Memorial Marker for my dog. I wanted something to mark the spot so it would never be lost to  me or the kids. Everyone has commented on how original that memorial marker was. The paw prints really made it a decorative pet urn for my yard and added to the attractiveness of the yard. Your pet grave marker helped to ease the pet loss I have for him. I know I am showing tribute to him for all he gave me by putting this marker that I love there. That in itself makes me feel better about the situation. Thanks for all the kind sentiments and encouragment you gave me at the time. It is not very often you find someone with so much feeling.

Victoriaa Heart LocketI lVictoriaa Heart LocketVictoriaa Heart Locketove  the Victorian Heart Sliver Locket cremation jewelry that  I purchased for my daughter. Her rabbit Ruggsie died this spring and she was devistated. Ruggsie was her best friend and in the teenage years that meant alot. I wasn’t sure how to help her with the pet loss of her life long friend then I saw this locket on your site. That locket was the most precious  gift I could have bought  her. It helped her  by being able to put some of  Ruggsie’s pet ashes and a photographic in the cremation jewelry.  This way she will always  feel she is close to him in her heart. It is really a personalized pet urn to her because it  means so much. Sometimes a gift to the heart can go the furthest. She just loved the style that was so fashionable and she wears it all the time. Thanks again for helping me and my daughter. Your customer service was great.

Laws 2nd weekLaws LogoThis week’s discussion will be about how the shelter works. As mentioned last week LAWS is  independent organization that is dedicated to  aiding all animals and promoting their well being. It is a registered charity that survives solely on private donations because they receive no funding from the government.  

There are three ways an animal arrives at LAWS as a stray, as a give-up-of-ownership (where the owner no longer able to card for them) or through the Animal Cruelty Inspector as a result of OSPCA investigation.

The animals are first logged into the computer, given a number with an informatioin sheet. The animal is also vaccinated, bathed if necessary, clip their nails, clean their ears, treat them for fleas as well as anything that needs to be taken care of including if the animal appears unhealthy taken to the vet for treatment. All this is at the shelters own time and expense. Tragic emergencies are often dealt with here as well on a case per case basis.

Once all this is attended to if necessary depending on the animal’s condition itself then the animal is ready for adoption.  This could take anywhere from few days to a few months before a new home is found.

Next week we will carry on with running of the shelter.

Charities-LAWS

TLaws LogoLaws LogohiLaws LogoLaws Logos is the first charity we will discuss in a series of charities over the next few weeks.

Laws LogoLAWS  stands for The Lanark Animal Welfare Society. LAWS is an independent organization that is dedicated to  aiding all animals and promoting their well being. It is a registered charity that survives solely on private donations because they receive no funding from the government.  Their expenses are met from private donations from its members, supporters, adoption fees and fundraising activities as garage sales, raffles craft sales etc.LawsLaws

They deal with lost, abused, or abandoned animals which are cared for until thier rightful owners can be found or until they can be odopted into a new home. Thier mission is to promote the welfare of all animals, provide shelter, care, prevent cruelty and suffering for all daisy.jpganimals in need. LAWS are affiliated with Ontario S.P.C.A. which conducts cruelty investigations.

This is how the shelter works. The animals arrive at LAWS in three ways: as a stray mostly  through the  local animal control officer, as a give-up-of ownership from a family or owner who cannot keep thier pet or no longer able or willing to care or look after them. The third way pets end up at the shelter is through the Animal Cruelty Inspector as a result of OSPCA investigation.Laws

The law requires all stray animals to be held 72 hours to give them and thier owners a chance to be reunited. Once the animal arrives at the shelter they are scanned for  a microchip, photographed, entered into the computer, fed and cared for.  The next few days the animal is observed for illness, personality, signs of aggressiveness and in general evaluated.  LawsLaws

Next week the care of the animals at the shelter will be discussed.

March 7, 2008

There are several charities we will discuss in the next few weeks which you could give donations to in honour of your pet. Not only would you be helping these charities that aid animals in need but you would also keep your pet’ s memory and name alive for you and your pet. 

 Most of these charities no longer receive government funding, relying entirley on donations of money, food and supplies from companies and the general public itself. This alone is a reason to give to keep these beneficial charities going to help many animals who have no home but  also for those people who have no choice but to give up thier loved pets because of circumstances beyond their control. These pet owners will at least know their pet they couldn’t keep is well looked after until these charities can find another loving family for them.

Charities that will work for the good of your pet and help with pet loss at the same time for you.

Wooden Rainbow Bridge Poem Pet Urn

Wooden Rainbow Bridge Poem Pet UrnWooden Rainbow Bridge Poem Pet UrnI just love the wooden Rainbow Bridge pet urn that I purchased from your site. The Rainbow Bridge pet memorial poems  about meeting up again with my dog Bates gave me some comfort. The memorial poem was so well done and the finish on that pet urn was just beautiful. The final touch was adding Bates’s name and dates to the pet urn name plates.  This really made it personal for him and me.  Also I appreciated all the kind words you had toward the loss of Bates. I knew you understood entirely about dealing with pet loss death and knew what I was going through.  

Pet Loss Support

Dog & OwnerI was really happy to see your page on pet loss support.  So few makers of pet products take time to address the difficult and unhappy period of a pet’s death.  It’s good to know that someone is conscientus and respectful in this regard and not just out to make a buck.  When you couple this added support with the quality products and the discreet, personalized service you’ve definitely got a total package that no one else comes close to.

I’d like to extend my gratitude for your decision to put this business online.  It’s truly unique and has been instrumental in helping me through the bereavement process. All I had was my cat and now she’s gone.  It almost seems inappropriate to “replace” her because, obviously, she was irreplacable.  At any rate, thanks again for your help and support in every aspect of grieving my pet’s passing.
