The Paw Prints I Miss the Most – Pet Memory Journal

When a beloved pet dies, kids need a place to put all those big feelings and favorite memories. This gentle journal helps children remember their furry (or feathery, or scaly!) best friend through drawing, writing, and simple prompts made for little hands.

Inside you'll find:

• 6 guided pages: All About My Pet, My Pet's Favorites, Our Memories, My Feelings, A Letter to My Pet, and Remembering Forever
• Plenty of extra lined pages to keep drawing, writing, and remembering

Ideas for the extra pages:

• Draw new pictures of your pet whenever you miss them
• Write more letters to your pet, on their birthday, adoption day, or any day
• Tape in photos, a collar tag, or a fur clipping
• Write down stories family members tell about your pet
• Keep a "feelings diary" for good days and hard days
• Trace your pet's paw print or decorate pages with stickers
• Make a list of things that remind you of your pet

A note for grown-ups:
Losing a pet is often a child's first experience with grief. There's no right way to use this journal. Let your child go at their own pace, skip pages, draw instead of write, or come back later. Sit with them and listen. Don't be afraid to use the word "died." It's easier said than done, but it's honest and helps provide a clearer understanding.
