Pet Grief Saturday

This is a wonderful event, it's not often that grieving for a beloved pet is recognized. Here are the details:
SPCA of Texas hosts Pet Grief Counseling Group

WHAT: The SPCA of Texas’ Pet Grief recovery program is designed to help those who are grieving the loss of a beloved companion animal.

Diane Pomerance, Ph.D., an SPCA volunteer and certified Grief Recovery Specialist, along with trained volunteers, administer a program incorporating telephone counseling and one-on-one and group guidance in a safe and supportive environment.

Free and open to the public, the SPCA’s Pet Grief Counseling Program meets at 1 p.m. on the first Saturday of every month at the SPCA Headquarters located at 2400 Lonestar Drive in Dallas.

WHERE: SPCA of Texas
2400 Lone Star Drive, Dallas, TX
Location: conference room

WHEN: Saturday, June 2, 2007, at 1 p.m.

WHY: It can be difficult for most of us to openly discuss loss of any kind, and even more uncomfortable to discuss the loss of a pet. Until now, there has been little opportunity for grieving pet owners to express and recover from their grief.

Hi, it's Snoskred here. I've recently become a blogging chick and have set myself a challenge to comment on as many Blogging Chick blogs as I can. So that's why I'm here. ;)

I agree this is a great idea. I don't think we humans ever forget a pet we loved. Maybe there should be like a day each year, like a pet memorial day?

I look at a lot of blogs, just so you know this is one of the better looking ones I've seen lately. Everything points to Wordpress being the best way to go.. but I'm stuck on blogger. :(
