Use the dog's name
The most important part of the gift is often not the object. It is the fact that you used the dog's name and treated the loss as real.
Choose by daily habit
For someone who wears jewelry, a necklace or bracelet can work. For someone who keeps a desk or memorial shelf, a crystal or shadow box may feel easier.
Avoid cheerful shortcuts
Skip anything that suggests replacing the dog or moving on quickly. A good memorial gift gives the person permission to remember.
