Based on the response to our “In Memoriam” article in our annual Creature Comforts animal issue a few weeks back, we understand how deeply felt the loss of a beloved pet can be. The folks at Keith House (4814 Edwards Ranch Rd, Fort Worth, 817-924-4134), a meeting space for nonprofits and community groups, feel the same way. In recognition of this heartache, Keith House invites you to Honoring Our Grief: Celebrating the Lives of Our Pets Memorial, a special program to honor the grief of those who have lost pets and to celebrate the memory of their cherished companions. From 6pm to 7:30pm, pet owners will share stories, reflect, and pay tribute to the lives of their pets through memory-sharing and a pet tribute display. There is no cost to attend. For ways you can participate in honoring your pet at this event, visit KeithHouseConnects.org/pet-memorial-reserve.

Now thru November
While it’s still (or is it “finally”?) hotter than balls outside, the fall bird migration season has actually begun. Did you know that you can help our feathered friends have a safe migration while saving on your electric bill? Now thru the end of November, turn off all the nonessential lights in your home from 11pm to 6am. Reducing the amount of bright light that birds encounter helps them migrate safely at night, as light poses a risk of fatal collisions with buildings and structures. For more information about the Lights Out Texas initiative, visit FortWorthTexas.gov/news/2025/4/lights-out.
