We used them today for the third time. I hope one day they see what I look like without a blotchy face and eyes swollen from crying. They are wonderful people who offer a service some people think is unnecessary. Not to me. Not to my family. And my 'fur children' are part of my family. Thank you again to all the Shugarts. |  |

Pets Show Loyalty Even after Owner’s Death: Stories of DevotionThere was a long held thought that animals did not experience emotion in the same way that people do, but in the modern era, when so many of us are closely linked to our pets, we’re finding that animals experience much of the same emotions as their people. Deceased Pet Care often focuses on how people grieve and deal with the loss of a pet, but today we’re discussing the other side of loss: When pets mourn their people.
“There is a wealth of evidence that shows that animal mourning includes many of the same behaviors and rituals as humans. Magpies have been observed in funeral rituals, geese droop their bodies and their eyes sink back into the sockets. Dogs who mourn can become lethargic and stop eating, while cats will retreat into hiding places to avoid confrontation.” Quote via PetSide.com. While animals grieve for each other, they also grieve for their owners. People oftentimes note different or mournful behavior for pets that have lost an owner or family member, as they walk somberly through the house, stop eating, or linger near a loved one’s scent, as in their favorite chair or a favored object, like a teddy bear or footstool. Some animals have been known to put this devotion before their own well-being:
These pets, as well as others, have shown amazing devotion to their families after a passing. Many pet owners and pet parents feel the need to memorialize their pets after the animal passes for the same reason, their devotion and bond to that pet. Deceased Pet Care can help you show your loyalty and love to your pet after they pass, as well as help you and your other pets mourn the loss.
