Not Forgotten Pet Cremation

10/19/2026

Good morning, Lawton! We have had the honor of being trusted with the aftercare of so many beloved pets, each one a special part of his/her family.

This weekend, two particular pets passed on and were entrusted to us. First we had Max, followed by Zena. They were from two different families who loved them very much, and it showed in their emotions and actions.

When I realized that these two came to us in succession, it triggered an emotion in me that I’ve been holding back for some time.

My two oldest dogs are Max and Xena. They are both 11 years old and starting to show their age. We’ve had them both since they were puppies, first Max, followed by Xena.

I’ve been bracing myself, knowing that they, too, will one day be gone, and I have been thinking about that for some time, especially as they are getting older now.

Seeing those two names back to back after bringing Zena in last night hit me in the gut. It was a sobering thought, to be sure.

I know that our time with them is limited, but I, like so many of you, am simply not ready.

To honor them, I am posting just a couple of their pictures from over the years.

Give your pets all of the love and affection that you can! I am cherishing the time I have left with these two! ❤️💔🐾

UPDATE 2: A foster has been found. Cain is now with his foster sister, Lenny. They met this past Saturday, and they got along beautifully! She wore him out at the dog park, because she is MUCH faster than he is. After more than hour of them playing (mostly him trying to catch up to her), they were worn out and happily licking each other’s face.

He’ll learn a lot from her, and he will be loved endlessly, both by her and his new foster parents, who fell in love with him instantly. ❤️🐾

UPDATE: FOSTER NEEDED!!

A full time foster is needed for this guy. It was found that he is, unfortunately, in need of a good home. He’ll spend some time with us but will be with Joslyn Wood most of the time, and neither of us are in the position to be his full time foster. Fishy's Friends Rescue will be handling his care. Please reach out to them regarding fostering or adopting this beautiful boy.
—————
This dude is a part-time resident at our facility. He is a younger boy, intact, with a love for people.

We are “sharing custody” with Joslyn and Ralph as we try to locate his people.

He is weel taken care of. Clean, manicured nails and and a penchant for being around people and going outside to potty.

If he looks familiar, please reach out to his people and refer them either to Joslyn Wood or us.

Thank you!!

I often have a hard time posting. We’ve taken in two pets this morning with two very different scenarios. One was an older cat who lived a long life, and the other was a young adult dog who was lost unexpectedly.

Both families are grieving.

Each family will miss their beloved pet.

Over the weekend, pets were lost to similar situations, and their respective families are grieving their loss, however that loss happened.

When I woke up this morning, I was greeted by my 95 lb, 11 year old ball of fluff needing attention. She is getting older but still has a puppy-like demeanor. On mornings like this, she seems sad as she closes her eyes to soak in the muzzle scratches. On mornings like this, I do my best to give her all I can, because I realize that I have no idea how long I have left with her.

We are guaranteed to lose our pets at some time. Unfortunately, we cannot avoid this reality. It doesn’t matter if it’s a holiday or a mundane Tuesday evening. It’s going to happen at some point.

I know that, like the families I met with this morning, I, too, will grieve the loss of my pets. It will hurt. I will cry. I will wonder what I could have done differently to have just one more week, one more day. But I will gladly accept the grief to have the memories of 11+ years of unconditional love.

Hug your pets. Grieve their loss when it is time, but always remember the happiness you gave each other during their lives and realize that it was worth the sadness that you feel now.

To all the families who have felt this loss, especially the two this morning, please know that we, too, have felt a little of what you’re feeling as we have lost pets recently and we share in your grief.

Please do not hesitate to reach out when you need us, holiday or not. We’re here for you.

One year ago this evening, we lost Roch, the old, stray pittie who trotted into our back room right after we began operation.

Roch lived with us here for only 3 weeks before Hemangiosarcoma, a very aggressive cancer took him from us.

In his 3 weeks, essentially our first 3 weeks in business, Roch became the unofficial face of Not Forgotten Pet Cremation.

He leaned on our clients who needed a gentle soul to cry with. He was a warm, loving soul who offered comfort to all who walked in, mourning the loss of their pets.

He was such a huge part of our organization, even for such a short time.

Later this afternoon, I will be saying goodbye to the family dog of some dear friends of mine. While not my own, C**t has been my buddy for several years. I’ve groomed him countless times, fed him meat from the kitchen counter too often, and have gotten to love on him while sitting on the back porch for a lot of years. His family will miss him terribly, as will I.

Roch and C**t will now share this very special, very emotional date forever. Two of the best boys who weren’t really mine, but who each owned a little piece of my heart. Fly high, boys. 💔🐾

This is quite possibly the best thing we can post. ❤️💔🐾

I hope everyone here has a safe a wonderful 4th of July celebration today!

One year ago today, we received phone calls from a couple scrambling to find someone to take care of their beloved pet, who had passed overnight.

This was our first client and set the tone for what we expect of ourselves.

The gentleman from Altus was emotional and grateful to be able to honor his pup the way he deserved.

That has been our goal since our inception, to simply be there when we’re needed, offer an empathetic ear and welcoming environment.

In similar fashion, we were there this morning after a tragic accident took the life of a beloved pet.

We can’t always dictate when we might lose our furry friends, so we will do our best to be there when the unfortunate happens.

Today, I will be spending the day with friends, as many of you will, and I will be mere minutes away from the office for the majority of the day.

While I hope nobody else loses their beloved pets today, I will be there if you do.

Happy Independence Day, Lawton Area!

Rosie was the angel of a dear friend. This is an outstanding idea for those interested.

Good evening, Lawton area. We are looking at a potentially heavy snowfall and some bitter cold temperatures this weekend.

I am posting this for a couple reasons.

1) Limit your pets' outside time. Many pets are not equipped to handle this weather. Those of you with Huskies, feel free to disregard. This is their personal heaven!

2) If you are not equipped to travel in heavy snow and slippery roads, don't. Stay safe and warm.

3) I AM equipped to travel in heavy snow. I grew up in it, and I have 4WD vehicles that can handle it. If you should need our services, please don't hesitate to contact us. If you can't get to us, I can get to you.

Stay safe, Lawton!

Good evening!! This picture says so much!

We all hope to be reunited with our lost pets one day. I know I do.

A good friend of mine lost her beautiful pup late last week. She lived a long life, and she saw her through big changes in her life. She will feel her loss for a very long time.

I had a good conversation today with a lady whose dog also passed late last week. She described him as her “soul dog”. He shares a name with one of my dogs, and we talked about them both, about how they are such amazing companions. This conversation mirrored the phone conversation we had preciously. She has two other little dogs I was fortunate enough to meet this afternoon. She’ll find comfort in their little faces, I’m sure. I hope so.

It’s amazing how deeply our pets touch us in what seems like so little time.

For the sake of all of our clients, and for our sake, I truly hope we are reunited at “The Rainbow Bridge”.

I’ve noticed that people often try not to “bother” us over the weekend or on holidays.

We don’t mind. We don’t keep daily office hours, because we want to be available when you need us. That can be Tuesday afternoon, Sunday night, Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day, etc.. I have met clients at 4 am and 11:30 pm. Our very first client contact was on the 4th of July.

Please call whenever it is that you need us.
