Losing a pet is like losing a family member; you never truly get over it. We wish our pets could live forever. Or at least as long as we do so we don’t have to say goodbye to them too soon. Some people choose to commemorate their furry best friends: I chose to tattoo the likeness of my beagle, for example.
Other people opt for physical mementos, like a picture. But this guy angered his girlfriend when he chose to remember his late dog by commissioning a flat-screen TV-size portrait of his doggo. As she didn’t have an emotional attachment to the dog, she saw it as an eyesore in their shared apartment.
We reached out to designer and artist Natalie Papier. She’s the author of Start With the Art, a book about decorating any room on any budget, and she kindly agreed to weigh in on this story for Bored Panda. Read her recommendations on the best ways to commemorate a pet below!
