In 2004 we lost our dog Riley. My parents own a nice home on 10 acres in a rural community outside of the Portland, Oregon metropolitan area. It is a great place for dogs to run and be happy. Our dogs have always been allowed to run around the property as they please and like many animals, they kind of set up their own boundaries, never leaving our property. 2004 was a tough year for our family, we had to put down Riley's dad Duke because he was 14 years old and couldn't walk anymore. Riley left our property where for almost a week and when he returned he was exhausted and wouldn't eat. We took him to the vet to find out he had salmon poisoning. We lost Riley a week after we had Duke put down. It didn't seem fair to lose both of them. We buried them next to each other on the property and recently honored them with custom pet memorial stones. It has been several years now since they were lost but their memory lives one through those pet memorial stones that are placed on there graves. I know many people who have pet markers even if they haven't buried their pet on their property. The engraved stones still give memory to our faithful pet companions. If you have lost a pet or know someone who has, consider custom engraved pet memorial stones. I know that it will bring you comfort in honoring your faithful friend.
