I haven't posted on the forum in a while...

What would be an appropriate gift to give someone whose dog has passed? My boss's 13 year old retriever mix (a permanent foster) will be crossing the bridge soon and I would like to have a good book about losing a dog or something similar ready for when the time comes. I remember people mentioning a particular book a few times but I can't remember the title or author.

Any suggestions?

Our emergency hospital gave us "Good-bye My Friend", it helped me even though it brought out so many emotions. My husband also gave me a paw pendant with Casey's name engraved. I will never take it off.

You are a good friend.

My hubby gave me a necklace he found through the Humane Society, for my birthday last year (December). It was a silver heart with a paw print. "Always in my Heart" was engraved on the front and Jake's name on the back. I still wear it. Just wish it had Lillie's name on it too.:(

A good friend told me months later that after her husband went to bed, she'd go lay down on her pup's bed and read the book nightly.
