🌈🐾 Today is National Rainbow Bridge Remembrance Day 🐾🌈

On this day, we take a moment to honor the beloved pets who have crossed the Rainbow Bridge. They may no longer be by our side, but they will forever remain in our hearts. 💕

We know how deep the bond is between people and their pets, and we join you in remembering the joy, unconditional love, and companionship they gave us.
If you’d like, please share a photo or memory of your pet in the comments below so we can celebrate their beautiful lives together. 🐶🐱🐾

💜 To all the pets we’ve loved and lost—you are never forgotten.

UPDATE: how fitting for this beautiful double rainbow to show itself today. 🐾🌈

🐶💪 Happy National Dog Dad Day! 💪🐶

Shoutout to the guys who:
✔️ Talk to their dog like it’s a tiny human
✔️ Have more pics of their pup than actual people
✔️ Will fight anyone who says “it’s just a dog”
✔️ Know the vacuum is the real enemy

Today, we salute the Dog Dads—part-time treat dispensers, full-time belly rub pros, and 100% wrapped around their pup’s paw. 🐾

Tag the Dog Dad who thinks he's the alpha but is clearly being bossed around by a 25-pound fluffball. 😂👇

Happy World Otter Day! 🦦
Today we’re celebrating one of nature’s most playful and clever creatures—the otter! Whether they’re sliding through rivers, cracking open clams, or holding hands while they nap, otters never fail to steal our hearts.

But these adorable animals are also facing serious threats, including habitat loss, water pollution, and illegal wildlife trade.

What can we do?

Keep waterways clean
Support wetland conservation
Say no to the exotic pet trade

Spread awareness!
Let’s make some noise for our whiskered water-loving friends today.

Share your favorite otter fact or photo below!
