Pet Month!!

Have you heard of that before? Truthfully, the theme has to do with helping humans become responsible pet owners. Suggestions to celebrate responsibly with your pet include hugging, walking, playing, maybe even buying a new toy for your pet or taking them on a picnic! Some people have taken this holiday month so seriously that they adopt a new pet. Do you suppose mom might like a new family furry member for Mother’s Day?

June 23: Take Your Dog to Work Day

There are some of us who might like to show mom appreciation by bringing home a puppy or kitten. You might even want to bring one to dad in June on his special day. However, before you do, make sure they are able and willing to care for a new addition to the family! If mom or dad want exercise, walking a dog will help, but will only be a happy experience if they are willing, able, and motivated. It is wise to ask before surprising anyone with a pet so you and that sweet furball or feathered friend won’t be disappointed.

Another important consideration is to be sure neither mom nor dad are allergic to animals. If you’re not sure, you can go to your local pet shelter and spend a little time together. If anyone is allergic, you will find out quickly. Of course, mom or dad may find a pet they just can’t leave behind. That’s a win for everyone. If they bring one home, you’ll all want that hopeful home-seeking creature to stay forever. So, be sure to check before you surprise someone!

Have a lovely month or two with your parents, your pets, and may appreciation and responsibility grow in your hearts!
