Words of comfort for losing a pet

When you cannot find the words, borrow a few. Short, gentle lines for a card, a post, or a quiet moment after losing a dog or cat.

Grief is just love with nowhere to sit tonight.
You were only part of my life. I was all of yours.
I still look for you in the warm patch on the floor.

Thank you for the walks, the purrs, and the waiting by the door.
A good pet turns a house into a home, and a home into a memory.
Writing a card for someone else? Pair a line above with your own memory of their pet. If they have a paw print, a memorial gift made from it is a lasting way to say it.
