Happy National Pet Day! If you’re like the CIM team, pets have played a significant role in your life. We do things to make them happy, and they make us happy CIMply with their presence and personalities. We eventually get over the pair of shoes they chewed or the dent to our bank account from a vet bill…emergency surgery for a swallowed item?

Here are some of our pets that are part of our lives and favorite memories. Enjoy!

Whiskey Pete turns 5 this year and keeps me sane.
