About Us

Losing my beloved pet Tessa was one of the most difficult experiences I've ever faced. The void left by her absence was profound, and I found myself searching for a way to honor her memory in a meaningful way. It was during this time of grief that I came up with the idea of creating custom memorial stones with personalized paw prints.

Why stone?

With a passion for engraving, I specialize in creating beautiful designs on granite and quartz stones. Whether it's a paw print design or a personalized engraving, I can bring your ideas to life. I also offer engraving services for home signs on granite and other stone materials, as well as aluminum business cards and NFC cards.

I worked at a local Veterinary Hospital for nearly three years before it closed in May 2022. Tessa, a Springer Spaniel and our beloved clinic dog who joined us every day, was born in 2010. She had been a rescue and brought immense joy and support to all of us. However, she passed away from heart failure on September 2, 2023. On that sorrowful day, as we were at another local Veterinary Hospital, contemplating a way to memorialize her, we considered a necklace and having her ashes returned to us. Despite the significant costs, which we hadn't fully anticipated, the depth of our grief was the most overwhelming part. We faced a bill of over $1,000, plus, if we wanted a necklace costing nearly $300 and cremation about $400, it would have been worse. The mounting expenses were daunting, and the thought of leaving with only memories and no tangible keepsake was heartbreaking.

In the following days, as we sought ways to honor Tessa's memory, I recalled an engraver I had purchased for fun a year prior. A friend skilled in stone work, along with a suggestion from my mother, inspired us to create a stone with paw imprints scattered across it, as if Tessa had joyfully trotted all over it. This idea sparked a new beginning for me. I am now on a mission to provide an affordable product that allows everyone to cherish their pets' memories without the fear of a hefty bill. I aim to offer a keepsake that veterinary clinics can provide to all pet owners, ensuring that the farewell to a beloved pet is as beautiful as the memories they leave behind.
