• gifts for MEMORIALS
|
Included in the cost of either Rainbow Ring or Memorial Heart,
is $10 reserved for Morris Animal Foundation's Canine Cancer Fund
until $100 has been accumulated and a check is sent to the foundation.
The Greyhound Project's Matching Fund Program
causes this amount to double.
Where $10 may not seem a huge contribution,
each gift is a personal and thoughtful memorial gesture which,
joined together with others being sent all year long,
makes a sizable difference to Morris' research program.
You are welcome to choose any item on our website as your memorial gift by requesting in the "Comments Box" that we add $10 to your order. We'll adjust our new card to fit your gift and giftwrap accordingly.

Memory Vials Featured Item!
These new vials are all suspended on the diagonal, adding a little special interest. The larger (.75") is "puffed"- like a pillow with Tiny 8Ball resting upon its apex, where the smaller size (.5") is more rounded-flat and adorned with Brynn.
Each vial comes with its own little funnel for easier filling.

Memorial Hearts & Rainbow Rings
We've been offering these two special memorial gifts since mid 2005, each carrying with them a small contribution to Morris Animal Foundation so that each pet being memorialized will become, because of your gift, a part of the eventual cure for canine cancer. At the beginning of 2008, your gifts have sent over $2500 to Morris, matched by the Greyhound Project.
After you've enlarged the image of samples, please click to see our new card, included with both hearts and rings. The entire text of Rainbow Bridge is included within, as well as lots of space for your personal message of any length. Our appreciation goes to Jeanni Davis of Dragonflyte Creations for designing our new Rainbow Bridge image.
Consider sending a Memorial Heart. Produced by Fire & Light in Arcata, CA from recycled glass and etched with our 8Ball greyhound, we'll personally etch the pet's name on your gift. The $60 cost includes giftwrapping and shipping by Priority Mail. If you're ordering a heart for yourself you may order without contribution or card for $50.
Or, perhaps a Rainbow Ring. It's not about size or sparkle. It's about sending a major gesture of caring at minor expense. As shown in the image above, the ring in rainbow hues comes tied to the card with a knot of grosgrain ribbon, within a black metallic envelope. Cost: $30.
Please include RECIPIENT'S INFORMATION ON THIS PAGE ONLY- the fields on the order page are intended ONLY for purchaser and do not pertain to recipient.

Hearts for Kitties
Because so many greyhounds have Feline Friends, we've added a heart for kitties- in aqua only.
Ordering is possible in the section for Memorial Gifts, we've just added the option for a Kitty's Heart among the color choices.

Memory Heart
Like the little Memory Jewels shown on this page, this little heart was hand cast by NCG's casters, with love. It measures .75" across and 1/4" in thickness.
Price: $65.00

Greyhound Spirit Guides
"A totem can be the symbol of a tribe, a clan, a family or an individual. Native American tradition provides that each individual is connected with nine different animals that will accompany him/her through life, acting as spirit guides. Different animal guides come in and out of our lives depending on the direction in which we're headed and the tasks that need to be completed along our journey.
Native beliefs further explain that a totem animal is one that is with you for life, both in the physical and spiritual world. Though people may identify with different animal guides throughout their lifetimes, it is this one totem animal that acts as the main guardian spirit."
Wolves, coyotes and dogs are all listed among totem animals, and though the dog isn't specified as a greyhound, I'm certain the greyhound is my personal totem, the jewelry I wear all bears their fetish, like those of the bears, the buffalo and the beaver represented in this photograph. As a matter of fact, I'm sure that all nine of my spirit guides are greyhounds, too!
Cathy Rae Pierson of Freshwater, CA created the Spirit Hound for NCG and the Spirit Horse for Territory Ahead Catalog.
Order a Spirit Guide for yourself for $45, or send one as a Memorial Gift, complete with gift wrapping and card describing contribution to Morris Animal Foundation as shown at the top of the page, for $60.

Silver Lockets
Hinged on the bottom, the locket folds out when the little screw at the top is loosened, revealing frames for two pictures. The rectanglular locket is 7/8" in height, without including its bail.
Price: $75.00
