Featured Love Stories
“Yet be blessèd to the height
Of all good and all delight
Pervious to thy nature;
Only loved beyond that line,
With a love that answers thine,
Loving fellow creature.”
— Elizabeth Barrett Browning
(from To Flush, My Dog)
For me, there’s nothing more beautiful, more healing, than hearing your stories about your own profound bond with your beloved animal companion and the love you still carry with you. In you, I feel connected to a kindred spirit, and I get to see my relationship with Moxy and Teddy reflected. Animals bring life to our lives; they are our closest friends, family members and soulmates. This space is a living memorial for your cherished pet, a place to share your memories and experiences, a place to engage your grief, a place to rest your heart. It’s an honor to bear witness to your love stories.
