Still Thankful I Chose HP 6 Years Later
It has been 6 years since I had to say goodbye to my childhood dog of 16 years, Princessa. It was my first real experience with grief and loss, and as any pet owner knows, our pets are some of our closest family. I look at my framed clay imprints of my late doggy every day along with her collar and box of ashes on the shelf dedicated to her in my living room, and I am able to remember her fondly. It occurred to me recently how thankful I am that I can do this. That I can focus on remembering her life and not remembering having to worry about the process of her passing and cremation. To this day 6 years later, I STILL remember how helpful, kind, respectful, and compassionate those at Heavenly Paws were to me and how they treated my beloved Princessa with the same importance and dignity as if she were any other member of my family. They were patient and understanding of my thoroughness in asking questions pertaining to the process, and even let my husband be present for her cremation to ensure that she was the only dog going in for cremation at that time per the private cremation service we requested (I was extremely skeptical and full of grief that I asked if he could be present for my peace of mind) and they were more than accommodating. I got her blanket, collar, framed paw imprints, and ashes in a beautiful wooden box back and I knew that she had been handled with care. I am so thankful for Heavenly Paws and I cannot recommend them enough for anyone who truly loved their pets and wants to be sure that they are in good hands. I cannot even put a value on how much they helped me through her passing and how thankful I am to have these quality things to remember her by.
