Dog Resting on Bed

Grieving Your Very Good Dog

Saying goodbye to a beloved dog is one of the hardest things we'll ever do, and yet, the loss we feel around our very good dog is rarely acknowledged. My book, "Grieving Your Very Good Dog" was written soon after my own pup, Ember passed away from osteosarcoma. 

 

Ember was both loving and independent, and we had some unique experiences, some of which I write about in the book. 

Mostly, though, I hope to offer you a soft place to land as you grieve your own very good dog. I want you to know that you're not alone in your loss. The strategies and suggestions I offer are geared specifically for those who've lost a very good dog.
