🐾 Hi friends, Dolly here!

I had SO much fun at the Sibs in Sync Valentine’s party! 💕 There were lots of smiles, sweet Valentine’s cards, and the very best belly rubs a therapy dog could ask for. I loved meeting new friends and sharing plenty of cuddles with everyone.

Thank you for letting me be part of such a special day. My tail is still wagging! 🐶❤️

Love,
Dolly 🐾

Our Sibs in Sync Valentine’s Day party was a sweet success! ❤️ We made Valentine’s cards, enjoyed yummy cookies, and spent meaningful time together. We loved welcoming new families—and we were so excited for a surprise visit from Dolly, our favorite therapy dog from Whetsel Funeral Service! 🐾💕

Today is National Love Your Pet Day, and we couldn’t let the day pass without celebrating someone very special to us… our sweet Dolly.

She brings comfort, calm, and countless smiles to everyone she meets. Whether she’s resting quietly beside someone or soaking up gentle pets, Dolly has a way of making people feel seen, safe, and cared for. We truly love having her as part of our Whetsel family.

💚 We would love to see YOUR pets, too!

Preplanning gives families the opportunity to make important decisions thoughtfully and without pressure. By planning ahead, loved ones are spared uncertainty and can focus on supporting one another when it matters most.

Hi friends, Dolly here. 🐾

My heart is extra gentle today as we remember Ghost. He was so deeply loved, and I know his daddy and family will miss him more than words can say.

Bud, Susan, and all of my friends at Faithful Friends Pet Cremation Service are honored to care for Ghost and his family during this time. If you’d like, you can click the link below to share a memory or leave a message of comfort, it means so much when we surround a family with love.

Sending soft tail wags and comforting thoughts. 💚🐾

The years leave their marks, but they also leave us with stories, laughter, and memories that become treasures. A life filled with meaningful moments is something to celebrate, today and always. 💙

Love takes many forms. It lives on through memories, traditions, and the stories we continue to share. Even after loss, love remains woven into our lives in quiet and meaningful ways.

Hi friends — Dolly here! 💚

Valentine’s Day makes my tail wag because it’s all about love. The love we share with the people still right beside us… and the love we keep tucked safely in our hearts for the ones we miss. I think both kinds are pretty special.

Every day at Whetsel Funeral Service, I see hugs, memories, and quiet moments that remind me love never really leaves, it just feels different sometimes. So whether you’re laughing with someone today or smiling at a sweet memory, I hope your heart feels full.

Sending you gentle tail wags, big puppy love, and Valentine wishes for the love you’re holding onto and the love that’s holding onto you. 🐾💚
