In today's episode of the "Moose on the Loose" podcast, I had the pleasure of speaking with Seán Lennon, whose journey has led him to co-found My Companion, a service dedicated to providing dignified end-of-life care for pets. This topic resonated deeply with me, having experienced the loss of my dear friend, Renko, in April. Renko was not just a dog; he was my best buddy, a constant companion for 12 years of my life.Seán shared his personal experience of losing a pet, which paved the way for the inception of My Companion. He recounted his transition from finance to social care and eventually to creating a service that offers a respectful farewell to our furry family members. This struck a chord with me, as the lack of options when Renko passed left me feeling lost and numb, a sentiment Seán understood all too well.We also had the opportunity to meet Riley, Sean's Cavachon, who, despite his antics before we started recording, fell asleep as soon as we were on air. It was a light-hearted moment that illustrated the unpredictable joy pets bring into our lives.Seán detailed the services My Companion offers, from door-to-door collection to providing families with willow caskets and the chance for a private farewell, much like a wake. This service fills a void many pet owners face when it's time to say goodbye to their pets, offering a sense of closure and respect for the bond shared with their pet.We laughed over some of the unexpected moments Seán has encountered in his line of work, including mix-ups with pet sizes and the wide variety of animals they've cared for, from hamsters to Great Danes. It was a reminder of the diverse ways in which pets touch our lives, regardless of their size or species.Reflecting on the grief of losing Renko brought back a wave of emotions, and talking to Seán offered a sense of solace, knowing services like My Companion exist. The discussion about the importance of acknowledging the loss, allowing other pets to say goodbye, and the role pets play in our grieving process was incredibly moving.Seán's compassion and dedication to providing a dignified farewell for pets was very evident. It made me wish I had known about My Companion when Renko passed. The work Seán and his team are doing not only honours the memory of our pets but also supports pet owners through one of the toughest times.I couldn't help but feel grateful for the opportunity to shed light on such an important service. For anyone facing the loss of a pet, knowing there are options like My Companion can make all the difference in the world. Seán's journey from finance to social care and now to supporting pet owners in their time of need is a testament to the impact one can make by following a passion for helping others, both two and four-legged.WATCH NOW!
