Jewel's Journey

During Jewel's first year living with us, she often liked to sit in my office chair when I wasn't in it.  Sometimes I even fed her in it so she didn't have to be so nervous about Lita stealing her noms.  Of course I always stayed near Jewel when she ate her wet food because Lita loves it so much, but I think Jewel felt a little more secure when she was eating in my chair.

In other news, I finally found the perfect memorial necklace to wear in honor of my sweet Jewel.  Tomorrow (Friday) is my birthday, so I decided to really look around to find the piece of memorial jewelry that I've been wanting for so long.  I found a beautiful design on Zazzle, personalized it, and ordered it as a birthday present to myself.  I'll be sure to show it to all of you when it comes in the mail.  It will be so nice to have a visible, tangible reminder of Jewel with me all the time wherever I go.

  2. That is a most beautiful photo of Jewel. We know you would remember her everyday without the necklace, but what a wonderful thing to have to memorialize your sweet girl. XOCK, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Jo

  8. What a lovely photo of Jewel and a beautiful memory. I'm so glad you were able to find a piece of jewelry that suits you and Jewel. I had several things made for myself after I lost Abby and then Gracie. I am so glad that initial jewelry is popular again as I have also bought quite a few "A's" in both bracelets and necklaces that I wear. I always think of her when I do.

  19. Glad you're getting your closure.

    It took me getting Memphis' ashes in his little white cedar urn with brass nameplate back, and framing my favorite photo of him with his collar to get my closure and feel like I could move on.
