“My story is quite a long one but I will try and make it short. For Christmas the adults of my family usually do a Christmas Kringle, but this year because of the economy we hadn’t decided what to do. So dad being the kind of man he is stopped on his way home from Melbourne at an Antique Shop and purchased lovely porcelain pieces for my mum, my two sisters and myself. Dad couldn’t help but show me as I am the only one who lives in town, that night I went home and there was a message from the girls saying who has got who for the Chrissie Kringle, so I had to make a quick call and put a stop to it. Well we then decided us kids would do the kringle between ourselves and buy mum and dad something special together.
Being a huge pet lover, and my whole family also having a love of dogs (especially), I thought maybe we could get them a plaque for our two family dogs Sunny and Sally (Shetland Sheepdogs) who passed away over the past four years, Dad was going to make a plaque for them, however he just hadn’t seemed to have had the time. I browsed the net for nights and spoke to numerous people but none of them seemed right and just didn’t understand what I wanted or said it couldn’t be done, or the price was ridiculous. Then I came across Jill at Pet Heaven Caskets, well right from the first word I knew she was my lady.
Jill, I can’t extend my thanks enough and let people know how much sincere effort you went into getting the plaque for me, just how we wanted it, although it is a flat piece of stone it has life to it, the photo etched on it was excellent, really displaying the emotions of both dogs. Thank you for extending yourself and spending time to look at different stones and to make sure the quality of the etchers work was what you and I would both expect. Thank you for taking the time to speak to me and keep in touch and let me know exactly what was going on, and also not taking charge but really listening and understanding the importance of this gift.
My parents loved it and now have a treasured reminder of their darling shelties, settled in the garden where they were buried.”
