For those who have loved and lost a beloved pet, we often choose to commemorate the pet\u2019s memory with something of special significance, such as wind-chimes, marker stones, pet memorial jewelry, tribute boxes, and more. For Rainbow Bridge Remembrance Day this year, and in honor of the 10-year passing of my beloved angel cat, Mr. Jazz (the inspiration for the day), I thought I would focus on that aspect by featuring a giveaway, courtesy of a lovely shop I found on Etsy called Pleasant Glen Products<\/a>, which specializes in personalized, custom-created pet memorial portraits.<\/p>\n

The owner of the shop, Kevin, and his brother started the business last year in October and since then have over 1400 5-star reviews. This is because each portrait is custom-created, with the shop artists working with the customer from start to finish to ensure the perfect product. It begins with a cherished photograph of the pet. Or it could be several photos. The artists work with the client to find the ideal photo which is then beautifully crafted into a watercolor painting. But instead of using paint, the artists use a computer to create the portrait!<\/p>\n

For this giveaway, there are 4 prizes in total. ONE GRAND PRIZE WINNER<\/strong> will win an 11\u201d x 14\u201d personalized portrait in a whitewashed frame (Style 2) in their choice of colors: White, Azure, Aqua, Honey, or Cocoa (Retail Value $84.00); and THREE RUNNER-UP WINNERS<\/strong> will win an 8\u201d x 10\u201d personalized portrait printed on high-quality cotton paper that can fit into any standard-sized frame (Retail Value $28.00).<\/p>\n

The winners can design the portrait with the name of the pet, milestone dates, and tribute quotes. Or, if they prefer, they can have the portrait without text. One of the talented artists at Pleasant Glen will reach out to the winners to help them through the whole portrait process to ensure complete satisfaction. And, of course, they can also visit the Pleasant Glen Etsy shop<\/a> for additional information or inspiration.<\/p>\n

For those who like tribute quotes, I\u2019ve put several examples together that you might want to use. Or maybe you have something of your own you\u2019d like the portrait to say. As long as you keep it to approximately 125 characters or less, you should be fine.<\/p>\n

That’s it in a nutshell. To enter, you must leave a comment on this blog, sharing the name of the angel pet you would like a personalized portrait of. You must also include your name and email address so that if you are a lucky winner, I can quickly and easily contact you.<\/strong> There are also many additional methods of entry, such as visiting Zee & Zoey\u2019s Cat Chronicles and Purr Prints of the Heart of Facebook pages or registering for new blog updates at Zee & Zoey\u2019s Cat Chronicles, but this is completely optional.<\/p>\n

Jazz, the cat who inspired Rainbow Bridge Remembrance Day<\/p><\/div>\n

As always, I thank everyone who participated in Rainbow Bridge Remembrance Day. I know it\u2019s not an easy day for many of us, but I\u2019m always genuinely grateful for the outpouring of love and compassion I see on this day. It\u2019s clear how beloved our angel pets are to us and my heart goes out to you all with the deepest of respect as you remember your precious pet(s).<\/p>\n\n\t\n\n\n
