One time a year, our departed come back to celebrate with us. 💐
We call this two-day holiday, (Day of the Dead), which falls on November 1st and 2nd. This is where we reunite the living with the dead. Families create Ofrendas to honor their departed family members that have passed. These altars are decorated with bright yellow marigold flowers, pictures of the departed, and the favorite foods and drinks of the ones being honored.
The offerings are believed to encourage visits from the land of the dead as the departed souls hear their prayers, smell their food and join the celebrations.

Now until October 31st we would love for you to participate by sending us a picture of your beloved pet(s) that are no longer with us. You can bring it by the hospital, or you can email [email protected]
We will be sure to add them to our Ofrenda 💝
