A dog with dark brown hair lying on a blue cushion with a light background

My dog Pippy – he was with us from 1 and a half years old until he was 13 and a half. He went from being a scared little doggy to the most loved and cherished part of our family. He was always there waiting for us as we walked through the door, ready to greet us, and even when he got old and deaf, he learned to feel the vibrations when we came in and would be ready for us.

For the last year and a half of his life, he couldn't be left alone, so one of us was always with him, which makes it so much harder now he’s gone. This jewellery will hopefully make me feel he is still with me, as we all miss him so much.

My favourite thing was the cuddles he gave us whenever we needed them—or when he did—he would place his head under our chin to snuggle in.
