Fourteen years of a dog, and there is nowhere to put it. Here is somewhere.

There is no service. There is no day off. Nobody sends a card. You come home and the sound of the collar is not there, and the expectation is that you will be fine by Monday. Meanwhile this animal was in your house every day for fourteen years, longer than most friendships last.
A pet memorial song gives that somewhere to go. Their name, the corner of the sofa, the noise they made at the exact time you got home, the walk they did every day for a decade. Play it once, cry properly, then keep it. Families make these for kids losing a first pet, and adults write them alone at eleven at night. Both are normal.
Their entire personality
The bark at the mail carrier, the one toy, the spot on the bed that was legally theirs. This is what makes it sound like your animal and not a dog in general.
How they arrived
The shelter, the litter, the fact that they chose you and not the other way round. Start there and the whole arc is already in place.
For the kids
A first loss, and it is a real one. A song gives a family something to do together instead of everyone being sad in separate rooms.
I know it has been a hard week. La Ritournelle helped me make a pet memorial song for Biscuit, including the thing she did with the sock. Listen to it when you are ready, not before.
Name: Biscuit. Bond: family dog for fourteen years. Occasion: Pet memorial. Tone: warm and funny. Anecdote: she stole exactly one sock a week and hid them all in the same place behind the dryer, to adapt with a real memory. Delivery: played once with the family, then kept. Indicative example, exact lyrics not promised.
Name: Otis. Bond: cat, adopted from a shelter at nine years old. Occasion: Pet memorial. Tone: gentle and plain. Anecdote: he was the last one left in the room and he chose the visitor before the visitor chose him, to adapt with a real memory. Delivery: kept private. Indicative example, exact lyrics not promised.
Name: Pepper. Bond: the kids' first dog, they are six and nine. Occasion: Pet memorial. Tone: soft and hopeful, written for a child to hear. Anecdote: she waited by the door at exactly ten to four every school day for six years, to adapt with a real memory. Delivery: played together at home, once. Indicative example, exact lyrics not promised.
Their name, how they arrived, the habits nobody else would know, and how long you had together.
We write the lyrics for your review, then produce a fully sung, studio quality track.
Play it once with the family, send it to whoever loved them too, or keep it entirely to yourself.
No, and the question itself is the problem. This animal lived in your house for a decade or more, was there for every bad day, and asked for nothing. The reason it feels silly is that nothing in the culture gives you permission to grieve it. That is a gap in the culture, not a flaw in you.
Only you can answer that. If you want it now, the song is ready in minutes, so a same day one is possible, and people do write these at eleven at night on the worst day. If you would rather wait a month, or a year, it will work exactly as well then.
Then it should be. Most pets are ridiculous, whether they were a dog, a cat, a rabbit or a horse, and a memorial that leaves out the ridiculous parts is not really about them. Tell us the stupid things they did and we put them in.
Yes. Say so in the brief and we keep the language gentle and age appropriate. For a lot of families this is the first time they sit down together and say the animal's name out loud, and having a thing to press play on makes that possible.
Tell us the story, we handle the rest. Your song is ready in minutes.
