NeylasMom Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 So a close friend of mine had to let his dog go recently. Tyler was my mixed breed's "bestie" and we often exchanged sitting, took hikes or cabin trips together, etc. I want to do something to memorialize Tyler, but my friend isn't into keepsakes. I was thinking of printing and framing a photo of Tyler fetching a stick in the water as that was one of his favorite pasttimes, especially with my dog, but does anyone have any other thoughts or suggestions?

Rickiesmom Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 If Tyler was adopted, maybe a donation to the shelter he came from, or a charity that your friend supports? Very sorry about his loss of Tyler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winnie Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 So sorry, Jen. Both of the above ideas are good ones. We recently had a 6x6 painting done for Tricia & Burke for River. I'm not sure if that is something Dave would appreciate or not, but here is the artist we used - Shamrock Studios Quote Laura with Celeste (ICU Celeste) and Galgos Beatrix and Encarna The Horse - Gracie (MD Grace E) Bridge Angels Faye Oops (Santa Fe Oops), Bonny (Bonny Drive), Darcy (D's Zipperfoot) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaryJane Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 One gift that I appreciated was flower bulbs that I happened to plant at my parent's grave. Another gift I received was a small sculpture of my dog laying down with wings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Houndtime Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 We have done many memorial clocks, as well as memory boxes, but, Len is recovering from surgery, so I don't think that is possible at this time. I am sorry for your friends loss.

LaFlaca Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 Check out Poemstones on Etsy. I've had stones made for each of my Greys and one for my son's cat. I requested a flat bottom on the stone so it could stand as a gravemarker where I buried my dogs' ashes. https://www.etsy.com/shop/Poemstones?ref=simple-shop-header-name&listing_id=122507808 My condolences to your friend.
