| Sounds beautiful! Do you have a sketch so we could see it?
I love paw prints -- so playful and spirited and also convey movement, going somewhere. I wouldn't put names because over time, there will inevitably be more to be included. If you could carve a pretty picture of a bridge, that would be nice but I would pick paw prints over the words "rainbow bridge". I think nothing is nice too since you already will have the sheepies at the ends. |
| What a nice idea! Gives you a place to sit and
think of the great times you shared. If you really want something carved, I vote for the paw prints. Maybe carved as if they were made by the OES on either side of the bench? I'd really love to see a pic of this when it's done. Sounds very nice! Shellie |
| I like the pawprints too.....i dont know where your bench is going, but you could do pavers with the babies names on each one leading to the bench... |
| It sounds beautiful! What a lovely tribute!

Paw prints are great but eventually there will be more names to add and if it was me I would feel quilty that they were not included. If you want something beyond paw prints why not simply "Until we meet again..." |

| I like the thought of something simple and heartfelt, like a depiction of the bridge (with or withoutpaws), or an inscription like
"In memory of our friends" or "our best friends" or something personal from you to them. |
| I vote for the paw prints. That sounds like a really nice bench. |

How beautiful! I love Darcy's idea with adding the pavers. I vote for pawprints on the bench. |
Thanks everyone  The guy that is doing the bench is a big deal in the chainsaw carving world ( I didn't even know such a thing existed) and he uses huge oak trees for the carvings. We provide pictures to give him an idea of what we want. The stuff he does is amazing, lots of woodsy things like moose and bear. Anyway, I'm using heart shaped stepping stones to lead up to the bench, Beau's has his name and paw prints done in deep green glass, Daisy's will probably be done in pink. I really wasn't crazy about names on the bench since the headstones already have names and dates on them. I'll probably go with the paw prints and maybe a small carved rainbow . When it's done I'll post some pictures. |
| Your memorial garden sounds absolutely beautiful.
Please do post some pictures...I would love to see it! |
Holly the memorial bench sounds just wonderful, I like paw prints too and I think your idea of a carved rainbow as well is just so special.  |
I think paw prints would be so sweet. Many years ago I wanted to have something with the names of my sweet fuzzy that had passed. I have had a brass heart pet tag done for each of the animals that I have loved. Some ot them ones that lived with me and some friends' pets that I have been close to. It is a bit heavy, but it gives me comfort.  |
| I agree, no names because you'll have more babies in your life. As for the rest, I like a bridge and rainbow together.....a small carving in the middle.... with paw prints elsewhere. |
| Would love to see a picture of the finished bench. |
| Paw prints are awesome. We had the dogs run through the freshly poured concrete when we did the driveway and I love looking at them when we go out there. |
| can't wait for a picture! |
| What a unique and lovely idea. I look forward to seeing the pictures when you get it completed . |
| So.....how is the project coming along? Any pictures yet? |
| Hi that is so nice I think a bridge connecting the 2 sheepies would look nice too cant' wait to see the picture |
