Friends and animal lovers:
Many of us have struggled for ways to acknowledge and recognize the significance of our beloved pets at the time of their passing. I received the following e-mail from Hungry Holler, the Oklahoma studio of Blue Frog artists, Jan and Marc Meng, last week and thought this was a fascinating and moving art form. What a beautiful answer.
"Check out the Fall 2007 issue of Modern Dog Magazine, page 68 for a blurb
ab"out Jan's funeral gourds for pets. Modern Dog is on sale at Petco and
other pet stores.
Peace to you. Hug that pet! Jan"
Pictured at right is Gussy's Funeral Gourd. The smaller image of
Gussy on the right is of her playing with a sock. She often tried
to wear the socks over her head! A personal note from Gussy's
veterinarian is written on one side of the gourd. For a beautiful
photo gallery and more detailed description of Jan's "Organic
Personalized Eternal Gourd Urns" for the ashes of beloved pets,
click on the blue words at the top of this paragraph.
Jan is best known at the Blue Frog for her bird house gourds and
her luminary gourds that add a celestial glow to a room. If you would like to hear Jan
talk about gourds and her perspective on working with them go to the gorgeous
Hungry Holler website Then, in the bottom right hand corner click on the "Jan's Video"
button. Jan is articulate and AWESOME! She is truly a fascinating woman.

Houses and cars are quite expensive and not everybody is able to buy it. But, mortgage loans was invented to support different people in such situations.
