Helping families cope with loss of pet rat
Since opening the business in January 2005, Deb has provided solace to hundreds of grieving pet owners.
The service isn't limited to just dogs and cats, Deb has cremated rats, parakeets and potbellied pigs.
It's a role, she believes, God intended her to play.
Unfulfilled by her accounting job, Deb prayed for a sign that would lead her down an unbeaten career path. The next day she learned that Backyard Burials, a local pet interment and cremation service, was up for sale.
"I thought, there's no way that I can do this; there's no way I can go to people's homes and pick up their dead pets," says Deb, who has been severely allergic to dogs and cats since childhood. "But, the feeling wouldn't leave me, so I kept praying for an answer."
Deb called the owner of Backyard Burials and was invited to tag along on numerous pick-up calls. One residence they visited housed no less than a dozen cats. Miraculously, Deb's allergies didn't act up.
...May they rest in peace
