If you are an animal lover like me then you are going to want to hear about this great gift idea for yourself of the animal lover in your life.
This weekend, I received a gorgeous pendant that features a color photo of my cocker spaniel “Little Dog”. Little dog came into my life thirteen years ago when I bought him from the animal shelter in Newport News, VA. For me it was love at first sight and he quickly wrapped me around his paw.
Let’s face it, many of us consider our pets part of their family and I’m no different. I love my dogs and I simply love the idea of creating a lasting memory of my little boy.
This is why I was thrilled to learn about Animal Charms Animal Charms.

Well, if I’m lucky enough to win, this would be an “in memory” of Jasper..He’s my Aunt’s dog who passed away Oct. 2008 and he was almost 12 yrs old..She was and is still heartbroken!!
She did get another dog eventually named Bandit, but noone will ever take her Jasper’s place!
Thanks for the chance to win!

I have a 6 year old Chihuahua named Paco who is my baby. I rescued him in January off of Craigslist. He’s so sweet and loyal. It feels like he’s been with me for years.

My kitty cat.

Hi,
Our sweet boy dog(name omitted) came into our lives at a time when we were dealing with the loss of our kitty, Junie. Our good boy is my hubbies first dog and we have been married for over 2 decades.
He is sweet, good, loyal and very cute.
He is smart and a constant companion. He likes to hike. Everyone who meets him wants to take him home. We are so thankful to have such a wonderful 22lb pup to love. He was one when he came to us and he’ll be 3 this fall.
Thanks,
CJ
