One of the best parts of my day happens seconds after I set my head on my pillow, just before 11 p.m. My wife Joan puts our dog Thomas on our bed beside me. Thomas, a Chihuahu-Yorkie, scampers his way up to my pillow and gets comfortable for a 10-minute chat. Darn, he’s a good listener. Then, he walks down and retires for the evening at my feet. Thomas is my buddy and, sadly, I have thought about the day down the road when he will jump into Doggie Heaven: I know he had many years ahead of him.

Thomas is my buddy and, sadly, I have thought about the day down the road when he will jump into Doggie Heaven: I know he had many years ahead of him.
But when that time comes I am comforted knowing there is a place where
Thomas can be remembered in dignity. Because for years I have been troubled
hearing people say “I took my pet into the vet today to have it put to sleep.”
I imagined how terrible the car ride home must be.
It doesn’t have to be that way, anymore. Part of The Family Pet
Memorial allows family pets to me remembered with one word: dignity. They offer
the same funeral services as for human beings. There’s even a viewing room and
a chapel for a memorial service. On Saturday, Part of The Family is having an
open house from 1 til 5:30 p.m. for folks to learn more at 11904
- 113 Ave.
We all love our pets. And maybe the biggest
thing Part of the Family does is soften that rough ride home after we say our
farewells. It’s late, now — so I have to cut this short. Thomas is calling for
me.
