Little Nellie aka Buzi

Little Nellie aka Buzi

We would be so happy when she peed or pooed. Whatever she did, in our eyes, was the most beautiful thing she can do because she was for us a truly special and magnificent part of our famlily core.

Writing a loving tribute to your animal companion is a special way to honor the time spent together and the memories you shared.

Each of the randomly selected pets you see here will have their candle lit for one month in honor of the anniversary of their passing.

If you would like to add your pet to our Memorial Page, please click here to learn how.

Happy Birthday
