A small gesture that means a lot
People around Muskogee have dogs that ride in the truck, barn cats that have been around for fifteen years and horses that are part of the family. When one of them dies, the grief can be heavy, and many people feel like they are not supposed to talk about it.
Flowers or a plant sent to the house is a gentle way to say it is okay to be sad. Most people choose something small and bright for a kitchen counter. A note that uses the pet's name is often the part people remember.
If there are other pets in the home, choose carefully. True lilies are very dangerous to cats, and some other flowers and plants can upset a pet's stomach. Tell the florist about the pets and check the ASPCA list of plants toxic to cats (opens in a new tab). Our lilies and cats guide has more.
