Dog Shadow Box
I just recently finished a shadow box of my dog. She was 14 and a half years old when she passed away in January of this year (2016). She had been such a huge part of our family. She had lymphoma and I had to make the very difficult decision to have her put down on January 23rd. It was by far the hardest thing I have ever had to do. She was so weak and in so much pain that I couldn't let her suffer anymore. We went as a family to the vet after I called to make sure that I could take her in. My husband and youngest son didn't want to go back, but me and my older son did. It was so sad to see her go, but I needed to see it happen. It truly was hard to watch, but I didn't want her to be alone with people she didn't know. We petted her and talked to her until she was gone. I still have a hard time with my decision, but I couldn't let her suffer and she is in a better place now. She has crossed the doggy rainbow bridge and is happy and free of pain again. That makes me happy. Here is the shadow box that I made in her memory. It includes her collar, leash, and bear that she loved. It was the only toy that she ever liked.
We also had a gravestone made for her a few months ago. A very nice lady on Etsy made it for us. She did a wonderful job!!! Here's a photo of it.
