Our pets inevitably leave a paw print on our hearts, especially when they pass. After all, their love and warmth enrich our lives! Although our time with them is often brief, there are many special ways to memorialize our pets after they’ve crossed the Rainbow Bridge. 

At the Next Upgrade Shop, we understand how unique this bond is and have conjured up some intelligent ideas to enable you to keep those memories intact. Here are a few easy methods for paying tribute to your pet’s spirit:

  1.  Display their belongings: Consider placing a favorite toy, their collar, or their food dish in a special place. These items offer the same feeling of nostalgia and comfort that your most cherished personal possessions do.

  2. Create a digital shrine with a digital photo frame: Imagine having your pet’s cute face and funny moments on display for everyone to see. Fortunately, you can easily do this with the FRAMEO 10.1″ Smart WiFi Digital Photo Frame from the Next Upgrade Shop. It’s not just a photo frame, it’s a way to hold your memories close. With this, you can share photos and even short videos of your pet right from your phone, and invite family and friends to add their pictures too, to create a special collection of shared memories.

  3. Create a photo album or scrapbook: There’s something special about having printed photos you can touch and flip through. Allocate an album or create a scrapbook to place your favorite pictures of your pet. You can add personalized captions, even little tokens like their collar tag, a favorite toy — you get the idea. This physical memento of those moments can be a lovely way to remember and share them with friends and family.

  4. Create a fun video collection: Piece together your favorite videos of your pet zooming around the house, playing with feather toys, or excitedly poking at some string. Then edit the best clips together in a short highlight reel using simple video editing tools. These videos will definitely remind you of all the joy and laughter your pet brings you!
  5. Make a special photo calendar: Compile a calendar featuring images of your pet for every month. This is an amazing way to remember them throughout the year, and you will be reminded of the love you both shared each day.

  6. Share and connect online: Create a special album on social media or an online photo storage site to collect all of your pet’s pictures and videos. Sharing these happy memories with close friends and family who loved your pet can be comforting and gives everyone a chance to remember the great times you and your pet shared together.

  7. Create a memorial garden or plant a tree: If your loved one had outdoor space that could support a memorial garden or a tree, this can be a nice way to preserve their memory.

  8. Commission a piece of art: You might find a local artist to paint or make a custom portrait of your pet. Your pets look exactly as they are in this distinctive portrait, so it’s an unforgettable complement for your space. It’s a very personal token to keep their memory alive.
