The loss of an animal companion can take a toll on both the pet's family members and any additional pets in the family. This website was founded in memory of the recent loss of our beloved companion of ten years, Cookie (a bassett-beagle mix). As a child I experienced the death of our family dog, Tip. At only ten years of age when our dog was poisoned by a disgruntled neighbor, it was a tramatic and confounding lesson learned for my family. Later, while I was in junior high school, I had to put our dog, Rip, to sleep after a massive heart failure from heartworms (before the common application of heartworm prevention).

The sorrow and pain of loss experienced as a child and young teen are no different than those I've experienced recently as an adult. Grief can even be seen in our pets that have spent time with a litter mate or another household pet member for years; as observed in our dog, Dixie, who still paces the yard waiting for her sister to come galloping home.

These are depressing stories but a part of life we must be prepared to go through as we typically outlive our pets. So how do we prepare ourselves and our families to cope with these events? Read more...

We are extremely impressed with the sincerity and service of the makers of the KeepSafeTM break-away collar for dogs. We recently ordered one for ourselves and our relatives' pets. We had purchased a break-away collar for our cat, Oscar, as these were widely available in pet stores and supermarkets. What we didn't realize until our personal tragedy, are the dangers of strangulation that accompany normal dog collars and ID tags. If you don't have one for your dog, it's worth the minimal cost for a life-saving investment.
