First off, the brief history of the day &#8211; 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 <a href=\"https:\/\/zeezoey.com\/the-book.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>Purr Prints of the Heart \u2013 A Cat\u2019s Tale of Life, Death, and Beyond.<\/em><\/a>&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Secondly, as with every year, there is no pressure to participate. I don\u2019t want to make anyone uncomfortable, as I know it\u2019s a sad day. But it\u2019s also a beautiful day. The outpouring of love I see every year is so touching, as people share in the love they 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<p>Every year I host a blog hop &#8211; 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: . Please feel free to invite others you think might want to be a part of the day.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"borderGreen alignleft wp-image-18050\" src=\"https:\/\/zeezoey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/RBRD_Official_Logo_Square-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"460\" height=\"460\" srcset=\"https:\/\/zeezoey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/RBRD_Official_Logo_Square-1.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/zeezoey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/RBRD_Official_Logo_Square-1-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/zeezoey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/RBRD_Official_Logo_Square-1-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/zeezoey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/RBRD_Official_Logo_Square-1-768x768.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 460px) 100vw, 460px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I created a new logo for the event last year and this will be the official logo moving forward.
