What I’ve Learned From My Dogs

Sunday, August 15th, 2010

pet urn

Every pet owner has a sad dog story. My dogs are elderly and we’re preparing for the end of the journey, as are a couple of our friends lately. Here’s a few tip from our board of directors.

  • When loved ones come home, always run to greet them.
    Never pass up the opportunity to go for a joyride.
    Allow the experience of fresh air and wind in your face to
    Be pure ecstasy.
    When it’s in your best interest, practice obedience.
    Let others know when they’ve invaded your territory.
    Take naps.
    Stretch before rising.
    Run, romp and play daily.
    Thrive on attention and let people touch you.
    Avoid biting when a simple growl will do.
    On warm days, stop to lie on your back on the grass.
    On hot days, drink lots of water and lie under a shady tree.
    When you’re happy, dance around and wag your entire body.
    No matter how often you’re scolded, don’t buy into the guilt thing and pout;
    Run right back and make friends.
    Delight in the simple joy of taking a walk.
    Eat with gusto and enthusiasm.
    Stop when you’ve had enough.
    Be loyal. Never pretend to be something you’re not.
    If what you want lies buried, dig until you find it.
    When someone is having a bad day, be silent.
    Sit close by and nuzzle them gently.

Phoenix Reborn by Iron-Phoenix

A Phoenix is a mythical bird that is a fire spirit with a colorful plumage and a tail of gold and scarlet (or purple, blue, and green according to some legends). It has a 500 to 1,000 year life-cycle, near the end of which it builds itself a nest of twigs that then ignites; both nest and bird burn fiercely and are reduced to ashes, from which a new, young phoenix or phoenix egg arises, reborn anew to live again.

Inspired by the image of the Phoenix, the Urn Garden artists have created a keepsake urn in the style of body art.

Cesar’s right-hand-“man,” Daddy

Cesar Millan announced that his longtime friend and partner, Daddy the pit bull passed away Friday after at the ripe age of 16.

Daddy stood as champion for calm-submissive pit bulls everywhere, and was instrumental in helping to repair their image as violent, savage, uncontrollable beasts.

RIP Daddy.

The Lion in the Closet. Brave Heart Lion Urn

Sunday, February 21st, 2010

Brave Heart Lion Keepsake Urn

This sculpture by one of the Urn Garden artists keeps coming around, and there’s always a wild story to go with it.  The latest is a client who was involved with a Las Vegas animal rescue operation back in the ’80′s. She handled exotics.

Big cats and monkeys.

Funny thing, this story had a familiar ring to it.

Turns out, she had the ashes of a lioness that had been in the closet all these years. She stumbled on to our Brave Heart lion keepsake urn while shopping for a different style cremation urn for another sad occasion.

One look and she knew she had to deal with the lion in the closet. She’s only has half the ashes.  This urn is designed for keepsake size portions and won’t accommodate all of her ashes.  But she has a plan.
