A Pet Tribute

February 20, 2014 By Talya Tate Boerner 17 Comments

The death of a pet is one of the most heartbreaking things. The pain is raw and real. It will knock you to your knees.

Recently several of my friends experienced the devastating death of their pets. It seemed every few days another beloved pet had died. The Facebook comments and condolences piled up for each because everyone could relate. We’ve all been there. Pets are so easy to love and incredibly painful to lose. They fill an empty space we didn’t know we had.

But this isn’t meant to be a sad post.

This is a tribute to all those pets we love—yesterday, today and forever. And since today is National Love Your Pet Day, I thought I’d post pictures of my friends’ special pets who are missed so much…
