My beloved angel, Mr. Jazz – the inspiration for Rainbow Bridge Remembrance Day.<\/p><\/div>\n

Hi everyone,<\/p>\n

Rainbow Bridge Remembrance Day is Friday, August 28 and for those of you who might want to participate in some manner, I wanted to share the details with you.<\/p>\n

First, as with every year, there is no pressure to participate. I don\u2019t want to make anyone uncomfortable, as I know it\u2019s not always an easy day for everyone and it can be sad, especially in these trying times of late. But that said, the outpouring of compassion 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, something very much needed right now.<\/p>\n

As I do every year, I will also be hosting the annual blog hop here. The post will go live at 12:00 a.m., EST, on August 28 with the code and linking information available then. I have also created a Facebook event page for those who might want to post a picture, share a favorite memory, upload a video, or more. Over the years, some have even held memorials or community vigils, with the day making the local news.\u00a0This is the event link: . Please feel free to invite others you think might want to be a part of the day.<\/p>\n

Official Rainbow Bridge Remembrance Day logo as designed by Deb Barnes.<\/p><\/div>\n

I also have an official logo if you don’t already have it and would like to use it. Please email me at info@zeezoey.com<\/a> and I\u2019ll forward it to you. There is no requirement to use the logo \u2013 this day comes from the heart, so please do whatever you feel best for yourself. If you\u2019ll be sharing on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram or other social venues, you can use the hashtag #rainbowbridgeremembranceday 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, author of Purr Prints of the Heart – A Cat’s Tale of Life, Death, and Beyond<\/em>,\u00a0 and founder of Rainbow Bridge Remembrance Day.<\/p>\n

Thank you, everyone \u2013 my heart goes out to all of you who have loved and lost a pet. And just in case you don’t know, this is the brief history of the day:\u00a0I 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>.<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
