A catalog arrived recently with dog memorial products. I didn’t even order it.
My favorite item is a silver-dipped memorial coin with this message:
“I will always live within your heart
And now I can touch the stars and moon.
Celebrate my life with yours.”
It really touched me because at the end Winston was dragging his butt so much, and he seemed so depressed at not being able to run and “go-go-go” like he used to do. It helps to think that he’s now able to go farther than he ever could even as a puppy. Now he can touch the stars.
On the other side is a picture of a bone with a heart and a star.
The catalog is called “In the Company of Dogs.” I did some online research and found out that the quote is attributed to Sara Bethell.

My deapest sympathy to you. I found your site while googling options for my 16 year old Golden Retriever. He has no use of his hind legs anymore, and I have been going the diaper route, elevated mesh bed that urine can run through etc. It's breaking my heart. I love him so much. Wonderful video to watch of Winston.
Thank you for your sympathy about my dog. I send you best wishes as you struggle with your dog's health issues. An elevated mesh bed sounds like a good idea -- I hadn't heard about that. I wonder if dogs are willing to stay on it, though. Tarps covered with newspapers were the best alternative we found.
