Today is National Love Your Pet Day!

AWWWW!

Why do you love your pet? We all want to know!

#NationalLoveYourPetDay

Bunsen:

We love Bunsen for his kind and calm personality. We love him for his goofiness.
We love that he protects our family.
He is gentle with small things and people, and has a friendly smile.

Beaker

We love Beaker for her heart. She does every thing at 100%. She plays at 100% and she loves at 100%. She is a cuddle bug, but up for any adventure we can throw at her.

Ginger

We love Ginger for just how different she is. She is curious and wants to learn all the new stuff that we do. She is adorable, and sleeps in fun places. She likes being around people and is never one to turn down being picked up and cuddled.

Losing a pet can be a heart-wrenching experience.
We researched some of the best pieces of advice for coping with the pain.
If you are in this tough, time, we hope this helps.

1
Connect with others who have lost pets.
You're not alone, and there are resources out there to help you.
The best resources could be other people.
Consider online message boards, pet loss hotlines, and support groups.

2
Don't underestimate the power of rituals.
Holding a funeral or creating a special memorial can help you and your family express your feelings.
It is NOT silly to have a pet funeral.
Please NEVER tell a grieving pet owner this.

The loss of a pet can be devastating.

What are strategies for coping with this tough time?

Today we going to focus on why TALKING about grief is so important.
---THREAD---

1. Talking about Pet Death Aids in Emotional Processing:

Talking about your feelings of sadness or grief can help you process your emotions and make sense of what you are going through.

It allows you to express yourself and give voice to your thoughts and feelings, which can be cathartic.

The loss of Kahlan, our golden, was unexpected and absolutely devastating.

NOBODY I knew had ever mentioned the loss of a pet, or how painful it was.

Hey!
Can you tell if you cat is happy?
YEP!
Here are FIVE ways to tell if your cat is happy!
--THREAD--

1. What your cat sounds like!

If you’ve ever had a conversation with your cat, it’s a sign that they are happy!
Sure, they may be DEMANDING things of you, but it shows they are content and comfortable to be vocal with another species!

While the pitch of a meow is TOUGH to make a conclusion about, a higher pitched meow is associated with a happier cat, while a low pitched meow could be annoyance or frustration.
