The Familiar’s Book — A Keepsake for Your Animal

The details you think you could never forget are exactly the ones that go first.

The noise they make when you come home. The specific spot on the stairs. The way they ask.

A keepsake to fill in while they are asleep on the sofa — their story, their habits, their sworn enemies, a paw print, the people who love them, and one line for every year.

Two pages are genuinely practical, and I’d fill them in tonight:

If they ever go missing — microchip, vet, distinguishing marks, what they respond to, where they’d go, who to ring first. Complete it while nothing is wrong, because if you ever need it you will not be able to think straight.

For whoever is looking after them — feeding, medication, what frightens them, how to settle them, the vet’s number. Tear it out and hand it over.

And a last chapter, at the back on purpose. For after. Somewhere to write the day down, a letter to them, and a page that says plainly it is not a lesser grief and you needn’t justify it to anyone.

Dog, cat, rat, horse, bird, or the goldfish your child is devoted to. Familiar is this shop’s word for the animal that decided you were theirs.

A keepsake, not a medical record — your vet holds the real one.
