We use the vet direct cards but we use to have a little poem typed in nice handwriting and printed it on the inside of some nice animal picture cards.

We use VetDirect too andhas the Grieve not or do not speak (or something along those lines) poem in them and we also put forget me not seeds in and our clients love them!!

An amusing word of warning about forget me not seeds... We always put them in our sympathy cards in a wee brown envelope that says "forget me not". Anyway rang a client one day to say her dog's ashes were back and she said that she'd had them back yesterday, to which I was puzzled as they had just arrived back that moment...

Needless to say she was extremely upset to recieve the sympathy card with what she thought was her dog's ashes!!! I can honestly say nobody has ever made that mistake again!

My boss said she'd have thought it was a miracle when next year forget me nots came up where she had scattered her dog's ashes!!! :)

aww bless, had to have a giggle at that but its the kind of thing id do in one of my blonde moments

our forget me nots come in a pre printed packet with it clearly written on but knowing our clients the above wouldnt suprise me if it ihappened here!!

Mmm, thats interesting Lauren, I can imagine how it could so easily happen though.
