Pets are more then just animals, they are part of the family, and when a pet dies the loss is real and often deep.  Today is set aside to remember the pets that have touched your life.

I have had three dogs in my life.  Each lived a good long life, and I miss all three dearly.  Today, I’ll remember Buffy, Freckles, and Cassidy.  I hope you will take a moment and think about some fond memories you had with any pets you’ve lost.
