Dogs become part of the family so quickly, and before you know it, the tiny puppy stage becomes grey whiskers and favourite sleeping spots on the couch. A dog memory book is a wonderful way to preserve those moments somewhere other than your camera roll. Whether you're creating a puppy memory book, dog baby book or keepsake journal, capturing these memories helps tell your dog's story.

Looking for a guided way to capture your dog's story? My Years With You (Dog Memory Book) includes prompts, photo spaces and pages designed to help preserve your dog's favourite memories.

What to Include in a Dog Memory Book

Every dog's story is different, but here are some ideas and memories you'll love looking back on:

Firsts

Some of the sweetest memories are the little firsts:

• First day home
• First night
• First walk
• First bath
• First trip to the vet
• First holiday

These early memories are often the ones that become the most treasured years later.

Favourite Things

Dogs have funny little preferences and quirks that feel impossible to forget until one day you realise you have.

Write down things like:

• Favourite toy
• Favourite treats
• Favourite sleeping spot
• Nicknames
• Funny habits

These tiny details often become some of your favourite dog keepsakes.

Milestones

Your dog changes so much over the years.

Include memories like:

• Puppy photos
• Birthday memories
• Training wins
• Adventures together
• Big life moments

Recording these moments helps create a story you'll love looking back on.

Funny Memories

Sometimes the best memories are the ones you never planned to remember:

• Zoomies around the house
• Stealing socks
• Sleeping in strange positions
• Muddy paw disasters

The funniest moments often become the memories you talk about for years.

Add Photos

Photos tell part of the story, whether you're creating a dog photo book, pet photo album or memory book. The little details matter too.

Adding notes beside photos helps keep the memory attached to the picture.

One day you might look back and realise you had forgotten why that photo mattered.
