@ilovehelpingpaws: Day of the Dead for Pets 🧡 How to Welcome Them Home October 27 is Day of the Dead for pets. Here's how to make an ofrenda to call their spirit home. In this beautiful Mexican tradition, it's believed that our pets' spirits return before our human loved ones, who are honored November 1 and 2. An ofrenda is an altar created to remember and welcome those we've lost. Here's what you'll need: 🖼️ A photo 🕯️ A candle to guide them home 💧 Water for their journey 🐾 A favorite toy, collar, or paw print 🌼 Marigolds to mark their way home You can also add papel picado (colorful cut-paper decorations) and their favorite treats. Making mine brought back so many beautiful memories. ❤️ Save this to create an ofrenda for a pet you'll always love. #diademuertos #dayofthedead #dayofthedeadaltar #petloss #rememberme

I’m sobbing. I’m white so idk if I can participate. But the Marigolds. My dad said I was like a marigold - able to take root anywhere. I placed 3 marigolds in his suit pocket before we buried him - one for me, one for my son & one for my daughter I was pregnant with who is now 17. I pray he comes home tomorrow

That's all well and good, but as a medium, I can tell you that your pets and your loved ones and spirit are around you all the time they don't need a specific day.

Mine passed just recently on the 20th, I am in so much pain, I don’t know how to live without him all I want to just hold my baby and see him again😭😭 is it too early to set up an ofrenda I seen some people say if it’s too early since their passing they could get confused and lost, is that true?😭

My dog died last 10/27. I had no idea about this day. My first morning without her, I woke up to a TT about this. It felt like a sign from her, one of the only things that’s gotten be through the past year❤️‍🩹

I never find marigolds, so I added them to my garden so I can always have them.. they were also my dogs favorite flower.. and he’s gone. So I never stopped growing them.. his garden will always remain, Milo’s garden.

Our Buddy dog passed in May 2025. I built an alter last year for the first time. I left a treat for him out and when I came back, it was gone. Never been so happy and sad at the same time. 💕😢 He was there to heal my heart.
