Rainbow Bridge Remembrance Day

August 28 is Rainbow Bridge Remembrance Day, a day on which we remember the pets we have loved and lost. For our nuclear family, we have had two beloved dogs, Max and Ruby, who have passed away, but their memory remains loved and cherished.

Max and Ruby, thank you for all the love you gave us.  We were so blessed to have you in our lives.

Rest in peace, sweet doggies!
