Taking “paws” to remember our pets–past and present



September is World Animal Remembrance Month, so please help us celebrate the lives of our beloved pets—those who live with us today and those who live in our hearts and memories.  



The worldwide month-long observance was created to “remember, respect and honor the memory of all animals... to pay tribute to companion animal family members; animal victims of abuse, cruelty and neglect; animals lost in natural disasters; and animals killed in the line of duty,” according to the PALS Foundation.

It is a proven fact that pet owners live longer and healthier lives than those without pets. Pets offer affection, unconditional love, companionship, and they can even help ease the loss of a loved one. In short, our furry, feathery (and scaly) friends make our lives just plain better.

Do you have a pet who is like another member of the family? If so, we invite you to share a photo of your cute and cuddly critter on our Facebook page.


Even better, you can add photos of your family pets to your iLivediLoved account, and share stories about them so that these memories will be preserved forever. Everyone in the family will be glad you did.

Warmly,

Lilo
P.S. September 11 is National Pet Memorial Day. Come and share a story about a beloved per who is no longer in your life, and we can all celebrate them together on our Facebook page that day!
