Happy 10th Birthday to Jazmine!

Happy 10th birthday to our gorgeous, amazing, Jazmine.

Dan took this photo of Jazmine a few days ago, so it’s current to what she looks like as she celebrates her 10th birthday! She looks very wise for her years and decided to go with a serious pose, rather than her typically sweet, silly, and goofy self!

Meeting Jazmine at Global Pet Expo, 2014. It was meant to be.

We love her so much and are so blessed to have her fated to us back in 2014 when we met her at Global Pet Expo, up for adoption. We were not looking for a new kitten in our lives, but one look at her told us otherwise. Happy birthday sweet girl and wishes for many, many more.

Also fitting, today is Remember Me Thursday®, a day created in 2013 by Helen Woodward Animal Center to inspire the entire world to share the importance of pet adoption and shine a light on all orphan pets waiting in shelters and rescues. Since its inception, Remember Me Thursday® has made more than 2 billion impressions on social media and we are proud to be a part of this incredible effort. Jazmine is a shining example of the joy of pet adoption and we encourage everyone to visit the site at Remember Me Thursday® to share inspirational stories of pet rescue and to light a candle.

Jazmine is a shining example of the joy of pet rescue.

My beautiful Jazz. R.I.P. sweet boy.

On behalf of Mr. Jazz, my beloved angel cat who inspired Rainbow Bridge Remembrance Day, I just want to take a moment to thank everyone who participated in the day this past August 28. It’s always bittersweet, as we wish we never had to say goodbye to any of our pets. But I’m always amazed and inspired by the overflowing of love and compassion shown on this day. My heart swells with gratitude for all the lovely memories we have of those pets we have loved and lost. Read more

Classic Zee for Sunday and a Rainbow Bridge Remembrance Day Reminder

Sunday can be a day for quiet reflection. And with Rainbow Bridge Remembrance Day coming upon us this August 28, I think that’s why my mind has been thinking of my precious angel, Zee, all the more. He’s been gone for well over a year but remains strong in my heart. This picture of him is classic Zee. Happy and content with those beautiful, kind eyes.

I hope everyone has a lovely day and I also want to share with you that this Rainbow Bridge Remembrance Day I’ll be featuring a poignant, custom-created giveaway opportunity from a talented artist from Etsy. If you have an angel pet, you’d like to remember, I hope you’ll stop by for details on how to enter.

Take care – Deb

Standing Room Only? For My Cats, It’s Lying Room Only

This photo from 2020 sums me up. Anywhere I am, there will be a cat, or two, or three…

My cats, no matter what point in the journey of my life, have always been bonded to me. Some more than others, ranging from degrees of “Yes, please make sure to pat me when you walk by, but then go your merry way,” to “Oh my God, no! Please don’t ever let me out of your sight, my life as I know it will be over if I don’t know where you are at all times!” In early March of this year, that dynamic shifted, with nearly all of my current gang of seven consumed with the need to be near me.
