Capturing Memories of Your Pets

They may not be able to talk, but ask any pet owner and they’ll confirm that Fido or Fluffy is just as much a part of the family as Mom or Dad. We want users to treat their pets like the family members that they are. On our site, you’ll be able to create a separate profile for each pet.

Each pet can have their own timeline and albums, which makes it easier for your friends and family to view those images/videos of your pet since they can click directly on the pet from your family tree and view that pet’s unique timeline.

Since your pet will have his or her own profile, you should begin thinking about how to represent your pet’s personality. Check out these ideas for including your pets as a part of your family using MemoriesGrow.

Capture on film or on video your pet playing, sleeping, eating or doing that irresistible thing you love.

If your pet takes kindly to clothing, create an album of him or her dressed up in all different outfits.

Create a “Best of” album, where you upload absolutely the cutest pictures of your pet sleeping, bathing or playing. Alternatively, you may want to create a “Worst of” album, where you collect and upload pictures of your pet getting into trouble!

Don’t forget to capture the “voice” of your pet. Add an audio recording of Fluffy purring or Rascal barking.

Capture in words how your pet makes you feel, the emotion you feel when you see him or her waiting at the door when you come home. Or tell a story about some of his or her most endearing behavior. Maybe your dog comforts you when you’re sick by sleeping at your side.

Since your pet will have his own profile, you may want to speak for him in the first person. “I love it when Mom comes home. I always jump on her even though she tells me to get down. I can’t help it. It’s the best part of the day.”

Some breeders and shelters offer adoption papers or even birth certificates. Scan a copy of the document and add it to your pet album along with pictures and video.

Create a “Funniest Pet Videos” collection. If your pet is especially wacky, collecting clips will be pretty easy. Everyone loves to check out videos of pets doing something interesting!
