Mike, I did the same exact thing with both my boys, Thor and Ceasar. They are both sitting on a nice piece of cherrywood furniture in the diningroom, and I have a 8x10 pic of them together also some smaller pics of them with the family. I also have a poem of the rainbow bridge there and a small book of Rotties. Each holiday a candle is lite on both their boxes and they have a stuffed animal for whatever occasion it is. Also put away I have hair and nail clippings(nails I collected when they would loose one), and also their collars and such that were important. They each had 1 stuffed animal they would lay with more then others and they are retired(no one is allowed to play with them anymore. I sat and collected pictures out of shoe boxes and albums for days and just looked at how beautiful they are and just what a special part of the family they always were and still are. I only brought myself to watch 1 video of Ceasars last Christmas with the granddaughter and I cried and smiled at the same time. Beautiful memories and we will always keep them memorialized in their home. Xena is home and there she will stay. Sincerely, Debbie Ervin
