DON’T forget to celebrate International Animal Day this week on October 4.
Here are a few ideas to give your pet an extra special day.
• Pamper your dog with a bath or a grooming or even a spa bath, buy a new toy or bone, get his nails trimmed or best of all, let him sleep on your bed
• Give your cat an extra cuddle, a sponge bath or some nice treats or a new toy, then stay at home and watch a movie together!
• Clean the rabbit/guinea pig/hamster cage, etc, then give your pet a bath and buy him a fruit stick, or best an even bigger cage
• Spend more time than you usually can with your horse or donkey and give them an extra apple or carrot
• Clean your bird’s cage and get a new interesting toy or treat
• Clean your fish tank, add a new plant or change the colour of the gravel
• Give your tortoise a longer bath, oil its shield, find that specific weed he likes and feed him some peas
• Finally, how about doing something for all those animals who haven’t got a loving owner?
Oh and by the way, you will get a 10% discount at the Pointer Clinic for all of Thursday.
Being the feast of Saint Francis, of course.
I used to take my dog to be blessed.
