About the work

A closer look.

The pet you lost, on one page you can print and keep. Send me a photo (or just a name). I send back one printable sheet: their face in a carved-wood style, their name, the years, one true line about them, and at the bottom the 24-hour animal ER number for whoever is up at 2 a.m. next. It does two things at once. It holds the one you lost, and it stands there for the next bad night. Pet loss, a dog that died, a cat that died, putting a pet to sleep: a keepsake to print, frame, or keep in a book. What you get: one printable page, one revision included, in about two days. If the name or the photo is too private to post, message me and I keep it private. If you only want the line written first, free, just ask. If you are typing any of these, this is for you: pet loss, my dog died, my cat died, my dog passed away, my cat passed away, putting my pet to sleep, pet memorial, pet keepsake, grief. And if it is 2 a.m. and you just need a voice, before any page: Cornell Pet Loss Support Hotline, (607) 218-7457, free, Mon-Thu 6-9 p.m. ET with 24-hour voicemail.
