A Thank You Gift That Lasts 🤍

As this new year begins, my heart is filled with deep gratitude. After walking alongside so many families through some of life’s hardest moments, I’ve found myself reflecting on the trust, kindness, and connection shared along the way.

Over the last couple of years, so many families have trusted me with one of the hardest moments of loving a pet. Some of you have shared your experience through reviews—and those words have meant more to me than I can truly put into writing.

As I introduce custom engraved slate pet portraits, I wanted to give something meaningful back.

✨ If you are a past Faithful Friends client who has already left a review and would like a complimentary engraved slate portrait of your pet, I would be honored to create one for you.

✨ If you are a past client who hasn’t yet left a review and would like to share your experience, I’d love to gift you one as a thank-you.

Each portrait is engraved from your pet’s photo and designed as a lasting keepsake—something solid, simple, and personal.

Comfort When It Matters Most

Saying goodbye is never easy. I’ve walked this path with so many families, and I know how heavy those moments can feel.

Starting in 2026, along with compassionate end-of-life care for your pet, every goodbye will include a comfort package for pet owners—a small, thoughtful gesture meant to offer calm, care, and support when emotions feel overwhelming.

You are not alone during this journey. 🤍
Contents may vary.

With compassion,

My Junior Assistant 💕🐾

Little hands, big heart. She’s been busy helping me put together Christmas bags for some amazing veterinary offices, doing every part with so much care and pride. Watching her learn compassion, service, and the behind-the-scenes work that goes into caring for others has been one of my favorite parts of this season.

So grateful for my little helper — and for the incredible veterinary teams who give so much to the beloved pets of Acadiana every single day. 🎄✨

Happy 15th Birthday to my Brytin 🤍

Today we celebrate 15 years with my best boy — the one who has walked beside me through so many of life’s milestones.

Brytin has lived a full life.
Three years on an island.
Paddle boarding.
Hunting trips.
Beach days.
Fishing trips.
Countless road trips.

He was there when my baby girl was born — protecting her for nine years, starting before she ever took her first breath, while she was still growing safely inside me. He has been steady, loyal, and watchful through seasons of joy, change, and challenge.

At this stage, we have good days and harder days. As someone who provides end-of-life care for pets every day, I know the decision is near — maybe even overdue to some.

So right now, I’m choosing presence.
I’m soaking in every moment I can.
Even the diapers.
Even the slower walks.
Even the days that remind me time is precious.

This is the part we don’t talk about enough — how loving them at the end is just as sacred as loving them at the beginning.

Happy birthday, my sweet boy. Thank you for a lifetime of loyalty, protection, and unconditional love. 💙🐾
