thank you again to @carrioncoyote for making this

thank you again to @carrioncoyote for making this special comfort shelf possible! it is a dream come true to see copies of my book being given away for free at an emergency veterinary office. these are updated photos of the shelf featuring many favorite #deadpets titles that I recommended — plus now the copies of #goodgriefpetsbook have signed book plates from me. sending them along was the least I could do!

our neighborhood lost another good one. ❤️🐶

friday marked two years of #goodgriefpetsbook out

friday marked two years of #goodgriefpetsbook out in the world and it makes me so happy to see people are still steadily reading and connecting to my little dead pets book. thanks to @spoonfuloflindsay who said GOOD GRIEF was one of her favorite reads of 2024 so far!

turns out finding the time and energy to read with

turns out finding the time and energy to read with a baby is very hard* but I will continue to aspiringly collect books, even if I don’t get to them until the kid is in college. here are some 2024 titles I am particularly excited about! (plus, not pictured: SKY WATCH by @efhudelson and BARK! by @zazietodd.)
*and by that I mean time to read grown up books for myself — obviously I have read one million kid books out loud to this baby already. ask me about Chicka Chicka Boom Boom.

Seymour Asses Bartels-Corrado (2019-2024) ❤️🐺 one day I will write about everything that happened, but right now Richie and I can’t even really talk about it. we loved and still love Seymour so much, and he taught us many important things about forgiveness, patience, empathy, and loving someone for who they are, not who you want them to be. I know I will be a better mom to Luca because of my years with Seymour. I hope he is finally at peace. rest easy, good boy. we miss you so much. see you on the other side. 🌈

one week from today at 6pm-6:30pm ET I will be interviewed on The Pet Loss Companion on YouTube — a video series hosted by family therapists Ken Dolan-Del Vecchio and Nancy Saxton-Lopez, authors of the bestselling book by the same title. tune in live on 6/20! link to watch in my bio.

DID YOU KNOW the Association of Pet Loss and Berea

DID YOU KNOW the Association of Pet Loss and Bereavement has #goodgriefpetsbook listed in their online recommended reading resource? thank you for including my book, @aplb4u!
