In just a few months, it will be a year since we had to put down our dog Loki. Making the decision is one of the hardest things I had to do and being that it was so close to when Thomas was born. I don’t feel I ever actually dealt with it. I originally saw Apple Pie Painting as an ad and knew it would be a fantastic way to honor Loki.

Thoughts:
I LOVE how they captured Loki. They even included his grey muzzle! That was a huge distinguishing feature of his. I loved being able to customize the background because I always called him my “Green Boy”. My painting style has always been long messy strokes so being able to paint Loki in my own style was incredibly healing. Not only did the process of painting relax me, I feel like I received some closure and was able to deal with some lingering emotions. I plan to hang this above his urn as part of his memorial.
I HIGHLY recommend Apple Pie Painting.
Their kits are great as a fun way to display a picture of your pet or to remember one that has passed.
