National Pet Memorial Day, September 11, 2005
What Is National Pet Memorial Day?
The International Association of Pet Cemeteries (IAPC) has designated the second Sunday in September as National Pet Memorial Day, a day set aside to remember our departed animal friends.

Create a living
memorial by planting a tree or bush at Tree Givers, http://www.treegivers.com/index-pets.html
Participate in online pet loss groups to remember your beloved companions.
Collect photographs and make a photo album or scrapbook, frame pictures or just carry them with you in your wallet.
Start a pet loss support group in your area or volunteer your time at an animal shelter.
Collect your favorite pictures and turn them into a screen saver for your computer.
Make a donation to your favorite cause in memory of your pet.
Watch old video taken of your pet with you and your family.
