The Life of My Dog

This journal features 140 prompts to guide you through the telling of your dog’s story. The prompts help jog your memory and help the stories flow. You can answer with as much or as little detail as you want.

The five main sections of the journal cover the entire time you knew your dog, from first bringing your dog home to the final farewell and everything in between. It is up to you to decide where one section leaves off and the next one begins.

You don’t have to write on every page. Fill in only those pages that are relevant or meaningful to you. You can cross out any prompt and write something else noteworthy on that page. Or add a photo or drawing.

If you are entering into the MS Word document version, just edit to your hearts content, typing over the lines offered. We suggest you save an original copy as a backup. The PDF version you can just print and enter your comments by hand.

Start anywhere you want. You can go straight through from the first to last page or skip around. You decide.

Although the prompts on each page are written as if a single owner is writing about the dog, you may be part of a couple or family that has cared for and observed the dog. Your answers can reflect the thoughts of others. Or make the pages come alive with others as a joint effort.
