Today is World Pet Memorial Day, and I am feeling so grateful for all the families that have invited me to be part of their grieving and healing process. I wanted to share the lovely memorial displays that @jonjamesstaton created for his dogs Hank and Sophie.

These two friends got reunited with their family this weekend. They sadly passed within a few weeks of each other, and came into my care so that their family could keep their skeletons and soft hides. I like to imagine it was a comfort for them to be together through this journey. Rest well Fern and Bari Jones, I was so glad to be able to help your sweet family honor you. 💜

I get a lot of questions about skull preservation

I get a lot of questions about skull preservation for pets that have facial tumors. It is absolutely doable, though impossible to know how much the bone has been impacted until my beetles have done their work. Some families have choosen to have me reconstruct the damaged areas with careful sculpture, and others, like this lovely kitty's family, leave them as they are. Every bone tells a story about your pet's unique journey, and I'm happy to help you celebrate that in whatever way feels right. 💜

A kitty skull cleaned and coated in real bronze with a black patina. Metal coatings in bronze, copper, pewter or brass are options for turning any preserved bones into a detailed work of art.

Ink snoot boops. You probably already know that a dog's sense of smell is far better than ours, but it still blows my mind to realize they may be 10,000 to 100,000 times as sensitive to smells as we are! If you're interested in learning more about our canine companions, there's a book called Being a Dog by Alexandra Horowitz that is all about their sense of smell and it will amaze you. I've been far more patient about letting our dogs stop to sniff everything on our walks since I read it!

Today I got to share a preview of a sweet kitty's pelt preservation with his mom. We are planning a project with it that will incorporate material from a special blanket, and I'm so touched to be trusted with these important tokens.

Mac is a very well loved kitty with the most beautiful orange and white fur. I might be a little biased because of my own orange kitties. 😉 Milo, one of our kitten brothers, came in my office and immediately went up to Mac's fur and purred and kneaded his paws on it. Much love your way Mac, from all of us!
