are grieving the loss of your beloved pet, or just are in the mood to celebrate your canine friend, THE LIFE OF MY DOG will help you to honor and cherish your four-legged friend.
From the desk of David Marshall
It’s impossible to underestimate the joy a dog can bring to our lives. People with four-legged friends in their families understand how this most unconventional of love affairs can soothe and comfort, and even extend our lives. This self-prompted journal helps us reflect on and preserve this deep attachment to our animal soul mates.
Customize it yourself
Start by describing your dog’s first year and then record the major events of your special friend’s life. Remember the fun, playful, serious and sad times together. Reflect on your dog’s mature years and how you finally said good-bye. Above all, celebrate the love and tenderness you shared.
THE LIFE OF MY DOG provides 140 questions in a modifiable MS WORD file as well as a printable PDF file. Either answer the questions by keyboard, digitally insert pictures of your dog, and then print your complete remembrance book, or print the formatted PDF book, fill it in by hand and attach photos.
"When I was a child and then a young mother, keeping a "baby book" of those born into the family was common. It was a way of documenting the events of the life of this important person and celebrating his/her uniqueness. The Life of My Dog offers that kind of possibility for the beloved dog who become significant parts of our families. The whole family can participate in creating this remembrance at anytime in the life of your four-legged friend. I am using it to tell the story of Gray, our stray mut who has graciously taken us into her life."
- Joyce from Texas

The prompts help jog your memory and help the stories flow. You can answer with as much or as little detail as you want.
The five main sections of the journal cover the entire time you knew your dog, from first bringing your dog home to the final farewell and everything in between. It is up to you to decide where one section leaves off and the next one begins.
