WAFFLES: Hey Boss! Who's this Nicki person and what's with the box?
KATIE: Waffles, Nicki was the cat that came before us.
WAFFLES: You mean Glogirly used to have ANOTHER CAT??? Did he have a blog too?
KATIE: Waffles, it was a long, long time ago. Before blogs and emails and online shopping.
WAFFLES: Before Amazon Prime?
KATIE: Glogirly keeps Nicki's ashes in the same little cardboard box the vet handed to her many years ago.
WAFFLES: You mean there's a CAT in the box???
KATIE: Waffles, it's just Nicki's ashes. His soul lives in Glogirly's heart. One day, hopefully a long, long time from now, we'll be living in Glogirly's heart too. Right alongside Nicki.
WAFFLES: Well if we're going to always be in her heart, that sounds like a pretty nice place.
KATIE: Recently the people at A Pet's Life contacted Glogirly about featuring some of their products on our blog. They make beautiful personalized frames, memento boxes and urns especially for pet lovers. When Glogirly visited their website, she said it was as if Nicki had intervened and sent her there. You see, she's always wanted a special place to keep her memories of Nicki, but something always got in the way. That's why all these years later, he still rests in that little cardboard box.
"Everything's going to be okay." –Nicki ...his story
KATIE: Glogirly has moved more times than you or even I can count. With every move, she'd pack up Nicki's little box with all her other stuff and head off to the next chapter in her life. As organized as she is, Glogirly wasn't very good at labeling. She'd move into a new place and find herself surrounded by stacks and stacks of unmarked boxes.
WAFFLES: Cool! BOXES? How many?
KATIE: It doesn't matter. What DOES matter is what happened every time she opened up the FIRST box.
WAFFLES: What, did she find candy? Or her favorite toy? Maybe a missing sock.
KATIE: Every single time she moved and began to unpack, she'd grab a random box from the pile. And when she opened it up, there was Nicki. His little box was right on top of that first box, time and time again. Move after move.
WAFFLES: Nicki must have super-special powers!
KATIE: He was special, that's for sure. And for Glogirly, it always meant that, "Everything's going to be okay."
A Pet's Life Memento Box
Now Nicki has a proper resting place of his very own. There's room inside for the tattered cardboard box that Glogirly can't bear to part with. The two adjustable cubbies leave plenty of room for a special toy and collar.
Pretty Details
On the inside of the lid, there's a pouch just perfect for keepsake photos and cards. The box is beautifully crafted, upholstered in a buttery leather-like vinyl, and lined in velvet. Even the personalized plaque is a rich satin nickel-like finish.

In addition to Nicki's memento box, they also sent Glogirly personalized frames for both you and me. They come in three colors of a soft leathery vinyl. The stitching detail is rich and pretty and there's a choice of fonts for the personalized plaque.
WAFFLES: Hey Boss! This one says, "Waffles!"
WAFFLES: Um Boss? I think they spelled your name wrong. Isn't it B-O-S–
KATIE: It's PURR-fect. Just like me.
