If you’ve ever loved a dog?
Hell, even if you haven’t… please watch this video all the way though before you read my post. It’s 7 minutes of your life well spent. I promise.
Grab the tissues.
I’ll wait.

The husband and I have been there, although it was winter and only a few four legged visitors were romping around.

The chapel is small…
.

.
But bursting at the seams with love.
.

.
And when they said every square inch is filled with layers of pictures, letters, notes and expressions of grief?
.

.
They meant it.
.

.
I wept the entire time I was inside.
.

.
Look around…
.

How could you not?
If you’ve ever loved and lost a dog, or any animal for that matter… this quiet, unassuming, solemn place will grab your heart and tug. The outpouring of love, loss and grief is positively palpable from the moment you cross the threshold.

I’m not a religious person… but there’s something otherworldly about this building on that little mountain in Vermont.
Something beautiful… and almost spiritual.
If you’re ever near St. Johnsbury, please go experience it for yourself. And don’t forget to bring a picture of that special someone who’s no longer walking by your side.
