National Pet Memorial Day was first established in 1972 by the
International Association of Pet Cemeteries and Crematories. It is celebrated on the second Sunday of September and is a
day when owners can mark the passing of their beloved pets.
As you guys know, our beloved hairy slobbery sister Cinnamon went over the Rainbow Bridge a month ago and we are still feeling her loss.
But I, Marvelous want to tell you about the Badge! As you know, our Mom makes the badges for the events every month for the Cat Blogosphere. As her slave driver, I insist that the badges for the next month are completed at least a month before, not only so the mistakes and errors can be found but because Mom is busy. She also writes grants, teaches people how to use their electronic devices and does volunteer work in our small community. This badge was created way back in June while Cinnamon was still teaching Nutmeg how to be a good dog!
On it are digital water colors of our neighbor pets who have gone over the bridge this last year and it includes our Nellie Bellie but not Cinnamon!

Today we are celebrating the lives of all our befores. The hairy slobbery sisters - Cinnamon, Bob, Sam, and Kokanee and the cats - Hissy Old Licorice and Nellie Bellie.
As well as National Pet Memorial Day which is celebrated in the USA, there is also a Global Pet
Memorial Day. The global day is held on the second Sunday of every June.
