A little about me
Hi, I’m Tracey, the person behind The Prairie of Paws.
Dogs have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember, and for almost 20 years I’ve had the privilege of working closely with them as a professional dog groomer. During that time, I’ve met hundreds of wonderful dogs and their families, watched puppies grow into old friends, and sadly shared the heartbreak when some of those much-loved faces are no longer with us.
I also hold a diploma in Pet Bereavement, something I chose to study because I understand just how profound the loss of a pet can be. They’re never just a dog or just a cat. They’re part of our routines, our homes, our families and often some of the most important chapters of our lives.
That’s really where my idea for The Prairie of Paws came from. I wanted to create somewhere beautiful and positive where our pets can continue to have a presence — a place for their photographs, their funny little quirks, their stories and all those memories that made them uniquely them.
For me, The Prairie isn’t about focusing on the day we lost them. It’s about remembering all the days we were lucky enough to have them.
