Coping with the Death of Your Dog

In memory of two of our sweet doggie clients, Sydney & Canton, who passed away recently. Sydney & Canton were darling little Pomeranians who have been clients of Petite Pooch Chateau Salon and Hotel for approximately 10 years. Their pet parents, Laura and Doug, were wonderful to them. These two girls never wanted for anything. Sydney was rescued from Pomeranian Rescue by Laura about 8 yrs ago. Sydney was a very tiny Pom who was welcomed by her big sister, Canton, who already lived with Laura.

The staff at Petite Pooch Chateau in Farmers Branch, Texas, along with pet parents, mourn the loss of our doggie guests. We get to know families and their little companions in a very deep and emotional way. The loss of a pet is a very painful event in one’s life…more so than anyone can imagine. The staff at Petite Pooch Chateau always directs pet parents to the SPCA Counseling Sessions so that they can find coping mechanisms to handle the emotions which flood their hearts after they lose a pet. The staff at Petite Pooch Chateau grieves deeply so we talk to each other as we shed tears for the loss of a client and for their pet parents.

We also send out a memorial candle to the pet parents from Peternal Candles so that they will know that we care. We have also made donations to Operation Kindness a no kill shelter, in Carrollton, Texas, in the name of the pooch who has gone to “Doggie Heaven” and send a sympathy card along with a book from Operation Kindness’ gift store by the name of “For Every Dog an Angel.”

The author, Christine Davis, contributes $5.00 to Operation Kindness for every book purchased from the gift shop. This book is a beautiful tribute to pooches who have gone before us (but I must warn you…it is a real tear jerker…so you should warn the reader to read it when they have a quiet moment with a member of a grief support group). Our love and support are available to all of our Petite Pooch Chateau (exculsively a small dog boarding, grooming, day care facility) and Petite Pooch Plus (boarding, discount grooming, and day care for all size pooches) clients when they lose their companion(s) but today our love goes out to Laura & Doug.

Love to all,

Norma
