About MyBPFF

Author and Editor
Tracie has been an avid pet and animal lover her entire life. Growing up in Northern Wisconsin, she fell in love with a menagerie of family pets including frogs, snakes, guinea pigs, rabbits, dogs, and cats. She also enjoyed visiting and caring for the neighbor’s farm animals as well as watching the beautiful wildlife that frequented her forty-acre backyard near Lake Superior.
Her family currently includes an Aussie-Collie rescue puppy (Sydney), a Zebra Finch, many fish, a few garden snakes and bunnies, two teenage sons, and a pet-loving husband. She also adores cats, but refrains from bringing one home due to her family’s allergies. They all live happily together on a two and a half acre property just minutes from St. Paul, Minnesota.
Tracie began writing pet story books in 2008 to help her clients honor and remember their best pet friends forever. She is touched by how these heartwarming, personal stories continue to reveal the many wonderful facets of our human-pet bonds, and the deep sense of loss we feel when we lose a pet. Tracie developed the MyBPFF blog to help a wider network of people share their pet stories, find meaningful ways to overcome the loss of a beloved pet, and explore ways to enrich their pet relationships.
