As some of you may be aware, I founded Rainbow Bridge Remembrance Day (RBRD) in 2015 as a special day for pet guardians to honor the memory of those beloved pets in their life they have loved and lost, but never forgotten \u2013 whether fur, fin, feathers, scales or something else. It\u2019s held every year on August 28, in honor of the day I had to say goodbye to my precious Ragdoll cat, Mr. Jazz, the meow author of Purr Prints of the Heart \u2013 A Cat\u2019s Tale of Life, Death, and Beyond<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m mentioning it early for those of you who might want to participate in some manner. For those that plan on doing a special blog post, I will be hosting a RBRD blog hop. The post will go live at 12:00 a.m, EST, on August 28 with the code and linking information available at that time. I have also created a Facebook event page for those who want to post a picture, write a poem, share a favorite memory, upload a video, or share a blog post link. This is the event link  \u2013 please feel free to invite others you think might want to be a part of the day. And as with every year, there is no pressure to participate and I don\u2019t want to make anyone uncomfortable. I know it\u2019s a sad day. But it\u2019s also a beautiful day. The outpouring of love I see is so touching, as people share in the love they had (and still have) for their pet(s) and it\u2019s a time when we can all take a moment to collectively come together and comfort one another.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve created a new logo for the event and if anyone would like to use it, please email me at info@zeezoey.com<\/a> and I\u2019ll forward it to you, as I\u2019d prefer not to post it on my blog at the moment. I will also be doing something special this year with several companies that specialize in products for pet loss and grieving. If you\u2019ll be sharing on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram or other social venues, there is a hashtag #rainbowbridgeremembranceday that was trending last year if you care to use it, and if you\u2019re crediting me for founding the day in any of your posts, please reference me as Deb Barnes of Zee and Zoey\u2019s Cat Chronicles<\/a>, author of Purr Prints of the Heart<\/em> and founder of Rainbow Bridge Remembrance Day<\/p>\n

Thank you in advance and have a wonderful Sunday!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
