PET JUNCTION Publisher’s Note
JULY - OCT, 2024
elcome South Florida Pet
Lovers, to this issue of Pet
Junction Magazine! We have a
great edition for you.
But Friends, I have to tell you, I
lost my beautiful Zoey on July
5th and it’s been pretty tough
on me. I wrote an article about
her. I really needed to process
my grief and tell you all how
much I loved her. To say it
was therapeutic would be an
understatement.
After I wrote it I thought,
“I wish all of my grieving
readers
had
the
opportunity to process
their grief like this.”
Then it dawned on me,
YOU CAN! I can help you with
that through my website. So
I created a special section on
PetJunction411.com where you
can create a tribute to your own
pet.
I hope you will take advantage
of it and pour your heart and
soul into it because it really,
really helps! Not only that but
you’ll have a lasting record of
your baby and how much they
meant to you. If you’re grieving,
go do it now, it will help!
Until next time!
