If I can just make a suggestion, seeing as you seem to find comfort from poems - why not try to write a short verse about your lost pet? It doesn't have to be very literary, because only you will be reading it, but it's a good way to remember your pet, and perhaps raise a smile from half-forgotten moments shared.
I'm a freelance writer, and I occasionally write poems. Whenever we hear of the passing of a family member or a very close friend, I always sit down for an hour or so, think over my memories of them, and write a sonnet for their partner or parent. I then print it out with a nice border, and frame it. It's longer lasting than flowers, and it's more personal than a card, and the person left behind always says they draw comfort from it.
You needn't do a sonnet - unless you want to, but a short verse, or a journal entry about your memories can often help to process your feelings and begin to come to terms with your loss.
