This breaks my heart every time I see it happen

Part of the family

I want to talk to you today about something that is happening more and more at the moment and it breaks my heart every time I see it.  I keep seeing lots of Facebook posts from pet owners who are incredibly upset because their pet is really poorly or they have had to say goodbye :'(  This can be for a number of reasons.  Quite a few of these pets are older but some of them are still young and it is just heart breaking to see so many pet owners going through so much heartache.

I know myself, I’m a cat owner and lost our beautiful tabby cat Tiger (pictured below).  Tiger was cruelly taken from us very suddenly and without any warning and she was just 4 and a half years old.  Losing Tiger really brought home to me the fact that none of us know what is around corner and we need to live life now.  You can read Tiger’s story in another of our blogs.  It does literally break your heart because they really are part of the family.

I wish I had known before

I know that we can’t prevent our pets passing away, they don’t live forever, none of us do unfortunately.  The thing that really upsets me the most is so many people come up to me and say I really wish I’d have known about you before I lost my cat last year.  Or I lost my dog 6 months ago and had I have known about Cheeky Little Prints I would have come to you and asked you to take my dogs paw print.

It’s so sad that those pet owners could have captured their pets paw print before and they could have had something special to keep now when they’ve sadly lost them.  And that opportunity is gone now unfortunately, which breaks my heart.

Something a little bit different

This has driven me to do something a little bit different with Cheeky Little Prints. I am very passionate about encouraging as many of you as possible to capture your pets paw print today.

Do it now.

Don’t wait.

Don’t put it off.

We all put things off but some of us then regret not doing it and that’s awful and breaks my heart. I want to make it as easy as possible by making pet paw print kits  easily available so that you can capture your pets paw print today.

So easy to use

Simply wipe the inkless wipe over your pets paw and place it on the special piece of paper. Then all you need to do is take a photograph of your pets paw print and upload it to our website, or you can scan and email them to us.  If you wish to order silver paw print jewellery there and then because you’ve literally fallen in love with your pets paw print and you really want to keep your furbaby with you forever then I’d be absolutely delighted and honoured to create some special jewellery for you. However, there is no need to do that now if you don’t want to.

The important thing is to get your pet’s paw print now so that you have got it forever and then should you wish to order anything in the future, you can do.  A digital copy of your pet’s paw prints are kept safe for you for 6 months free of charge so it’s super easy for you to order further gifts and keepsakes and this storage can be extended if  you wish, giving you peace of mind your furbaby’s paw prints are kept safe..  You will keep the originals so you have something special of your pet to keep.  Our inkless paw print kits now also come with a beautiful frame so you can frame your furbaby’s unique paw prints.

Don’t be one of those pet parents

So, please do it today.  Capture those paw prints today.  And please don’t be one of those pet parents who come to me and say I really wish I’d have done this when I had the chance. It literally breaks my heart every time someone says that to me.

Take care and give your pet’s a great big furry cuddle 🙂
