The idea of pet appreciation week is to connect with your pet on a more fun level and show them how much we really love and appreciate them. Why not make some art with them. Make a Paw Print Canvas.

May is Chip Your Pet Month, which is officially recognized by the American Kennel Club (AKC) and was made to educate responsible pet parents on the importance of microchipping your furry kid. What is a Pet Microchip? A pet microchip is a tiny device, about the size of a grain of rice, that is implanted into an animal’s neck, just below the skin surface. The purpose of a microchip is to give your pet a unique identifier in the event they get lost. Microchips have helped bring pets back to their owners for years. When an animal has a microchip, it increases the chance of the owner being...

 The Old Farmer’s Almanac lists the traditional period of the Dog Days  as the 40 days beginning July 3 and ending August 11, coinciding with  the ancient heliacal (at sunrise) rising of the Dog Star, Sirius. These are  the days of the year with the least rainfall in the Northern Hemisphere  (living in Florida, I get experience rain daily during this time.) The Term dog days is   from ancient times, when the night sky was  unobscured by artificial lights and different groups of peoples in  different parts of the world drew images in the sky by “connecting the  dots” of stars.

Ice Cream, you scream we all bark or meow for ice cream!  Lets face it we like to think our furkids deserve the saI lean more towards no.me treats we give ourselves.  Many online articles say that a lick or to is just fine, but not a whole bowl of their own.  Many dogs and cats are lactose intolerant and that small ice cream cup can be big potty trouble later.  If you most share (because those sad eyes are to irresistible), for the first time give them a small scoop and see how they react.  Also be...
