Remembering Rupert

I received an order for a very special pendant recently, and I wanted to share it  with my lovely readers here.

The request came as a result of my post about Long Island Medium Theresa Caputo, with whom I had a brief encounter during our recent vacation to New York City, as you might recall.

In that admittedly offbeat installment, I made mention of my commemorative angel wing design called Hearts in Flight, and a friend passed it along to the client.

She felt it would be a perfect way to remember their beloved Chihuahua Rupert, who crossed over in 2011, and who is sorely missed by the entire family, because he was a truly exceptional dog.

Rupert ChihuahuaAnd you can see that just by looking at him, can’t you?

Isn’t he the cutest thing ever?

And what an aura, right?

Just look at all those colors!

The client ordered this pendant as a birthday gift for her daughter, and because she wanted a unusually detailed inscription, she was kind enough to send me a nice clear drawing of what she was looking for.

I wasn’t certain I could do it at first, but as it turned out it wasn’t as hard as I thought, and I even got it all on there in the first try!

I’m pretty sure Rupert was lending me a helping paw from the Other Side.

Thanks, sweetie!

As you can see, the pendant features Rupert’s name on the reverse, and the years that the family was blessed by his furry little angel spirit.

There is also the imprint of his tiny little foot on the left, and a representation of “I Love You” in sign language on the right.

The client’s daughter was very happy to have this reminder of her cherished pet, and I hope that it helps her keep him close to her heart, literally and spiritually, until they meet again one day.

And I know they will.

Because dogs are people too, and if there aren’t any dogs in heaven, then I’m not sure I want to go there!

How about you?
