In honor of National Pet Memorial Day, I am proud to sponsor the 3rd annual “Remembering Our Pets” event, being co-hosted by Dane County Humane Society and Memorial Pet Services. The ceremony is a loving way to honor pets that are no longer with us, and a way to celebrate the wonderful pets currently in our lives.
