EtchThey were here.
This makes it permanent.
Hand-carved river stones with your pet's name, paw print, and dates — made for the corner of the garden where they always lay.
"I talk to him every morning when I water the tomatoes."
"Biscuit was a fourteen-year-old beagle who believed every morning was a gift. After he passed, the garden felt wrong — too quiet, too empty. The stone is just a stone, but it's also him. It's where I go when I miss him most."

River pebble · Biscuit's name in Foundry Serif · nestled in the herb border where he used to sleep in the afternoon sun.
"The leash is still by the door. The stone means I don't have to move it."
"Rosie was our golden. She died on a Tuesday. By Wednesday I was looking at her spot by the back fence, just bare soil and a worn patch of grass. We ordered the stone on Thursday. It arrived three weeks later and I cried for an hour — not from sadness, from relief that the place had a name now."

"She was seventeen. She deserved something that would outlast the lilac."
"Pepper was a tortoiseshell who came to me when I was twenty-two and left when I was thirty-nine. I buried her under the lilac last April. My mother said 'she was just a cat.' But the stone says otherwise. It says: she was here, she mattered, this ground is hers."
