This pet memorial bears a simple, yet fitting inscription that expresses the lasting impression a cherished dog or cat leaves: “Those we have held in our arms for a little while, we hold in our hearts forever.” It’s a simple statement that says so much about a recently departed four-legged friend.

The 9.5 inch circular cast stone is made of epoxy resin, so it is lightweight as well as resilient. It will hold up to traffic and the weather as a stepping stone in your garden or lawn. If you prefer to keep your pet’s tribute indoors, it includes a mounting slot in the back for use as a wall plaque. Either way, the chiseled look of the edge and the realistic color and texture give the appearance of natural stone.

If you have or a friend has recently lost a cat or dog, expressing the grief with a permanent monument or memorial may help. This plaque is an appropriate sympathy gift and a lasting tribute.
