If you aren't lucky enough to have a pet in your life, you can nonetheless appreciate the bond between a pet and its owner. (this post was originally published in 2019)

What would a friend or relative who is an animal lover like to receive as a special gift?

Certainly, you can find bowls, biscuits, and blankets at big box stores and specialty pet stores.

However, if you want the gift to be truly memorable, then you might consider having a custom pet portrait done on a wood slice.

Painted on  approx. 3" kiln dried Canadian birch slices from northern Ontario, Patches is ready for gift giving.

…a cellophane bag or basket of cat or dog treats...

…the collar of a plush toy as a cheerful gift for a child who is away and misses her beloved pet (or a senior who can no longer keep the pet)...

…a memento box of a cherished furry companion that has passed on...

…a jar of treats kept in view with other pet necessities.

Pet portraits on wood slices make great gifts on their own.

They can be left out all year long or displayed on a Christmas tree along with all the pets the family has welcomed in their home over time.
