Most definitely include picture, name, date, etc. I have a picture of my deceased fur baby framed. I had a small gold plate engraved with her name, date of birth and date of death. It is a sweet memorial.

I would add it!!!

I vote NO....it will just be a painful reminder every time she sees it....really....I lost my pal in Feb and every day I look at her pix I cry all over again...she has her memories, she does not need a pix to remind her of that fateful day!

Being a dog lover and losing pets I would love to have the picture on the quilt. It will give her some comfort

I too, am one who thinks a picture on the back separate from the label would be good. Then if it was too painful, she could remove it. Although I doubt she will. Time passes and wounds heal and I think whe will love this quilt and you as a wonderful reminder of a dear pet. I think most of us realize that our pets do not live as long as we do. We are just glad to share their lives for as long as we have them. You are a very kind person for doing this and the quilt is so lovely!

You could also add the poem about the Rainbow Bridge. I know it's a comfort to me when I've lost pets.
The Rainbow Bridge inspired by a Norse legend By the edge of a woods, at the foot of a hill, Is a lush, green meadow where time stands still. Where the friends of man and woman do run, When their time on earth is over and done. For here, between this world and the next, Is a place where each beloved creature finds rest. On this golden land, they wait and they play, Till the Rainbow Bridge they cross over one day. No more do they suffer, in pain or in sadness, For here they are whole, their lives filled with gladness. Their limbs are restored, their health renewed, Their bodies have healed, with strength imbued. They romp through the grass, without even a care, Until one day they start, and sniff at the air. All ears prick forward, eyes dart front and back, Then all of a sudden, one breaks from the pack. For just at that instant, their eyes have met; Together again, both person and pet. So they run to each other, these friends from long past, The time of their parting is over at last. The sadness they felt while they were apart, Has turned into joy once more in each heart. They embrace with a love that will last forever, And then, side-by-side, they cross over… together. © 1998 Steve and Diane Bodofsky. All Rights Reserved |
She might still love her old quilt, too - so be prepared for her to continue to use it at times.
Sort of like the old, broken in jeans as compared to the new ones. |
What a wonderful gift!
One of my favorite pictures of Tasha, a Shiba I had prior to my current two, is with her best friend, a Cocker named Ginger. The two of them sitting together is a happy memory of how much they loved being together to enjoy each other's company. Perhaps a photo of her two dogs together would be also, knowing how much they meant to each other too. Someday, both will be gone and then the photo becomes a bittersweet memory of a time in her life and her two best furry friends. The date you made the quilt (i.e.: 2011) would be all I'd recommend. Plus a title for the quilt, such as one of the poems/sayings mentioned in other responses? |
