When Benny died, I asked the vet if she could save us a bit of his fur. I never did this with Tucker and I regretted it. Weeks go by, and I never heard from the vet, so I'd assumed she'd forgotten. Imagine my surprise when they called and said they had both fur and paw prints images!
I wanted to do something special with them, but needed inspiration. . . .
Last week, while browsing in my favorite thrift store, I found a clear plastic ornament that had potential. I added glitter, ribbon, and a bow on the outside. On the inside, I added bits of fur and carefully inserted the paw print.
I like how it turned out. It will hang on the tree next to Tucker's special ornament.

Aww, that's sweet
That is wonderful, I would have never thought of that and it is lovely.
You created such a beautiful way to remember Benny.
That's a great idea, I wouldn't have thought of doing something like that. I asked for fur from all my fur babies (Chumley, Annie and Nicki), and I have Annie's and Nicki's paw prints as well, but I find it sad to look at them. I never take the fur out of their wrapping (wrapped and in a box). I'm glad I have some from them all, though.

I love this idea! I made an ornament last year from a paw print but adding fur is bonus.
That is such a beautiful way to keep Benny in mind at Christmas. XO
That is SO beautiful!
What a special ornament that is.
Sweet !
Beautiful, thoughtful and just perfect.
What a wonderful idea! Benny will be in your heart always but sharing Christmas with our furs is always special and now he can again!
