We recently celebrated
Memorial Day in the United States,
a national holiday honoring
the lives of men and women
who died while serving to
protect our country. But there is
another memorial day observed
during June each year globally
that few of us know about. World Pet Memorial Day is
celebrated the second Sunday
in June. It’s a day, like our
traditional Memorial Day,
when we remember our beloved
pets who have “crossed over
the Rainbow Bridge.”
Universally animals have become a huge
part of our lives
and many of us think of them
as family members. Thus, when
we lose them we often suffer
great heartache.
June 14th is a day selected as
a time to remember our pets
and what they have meant to us. We can do this by visiting
their grave site, donate to a
pet charity or volunteer time at a
local animal shelter. Trees can be planted in memory of the
love and happiness we shared
with our pets. We can create or
add to a memory book about the
pet.
The French poet, Anatole France said: “Until one has loved
an animal, a part of one’s
soul remains unawakened.” If this is
true for you, if your spirit
has been touched by an animal that
has passed, take time on June
14th to honor them.
