I always find your calendars so very helpful and informative. I didn’t realize that April is pet first aid awareness month. I need to check on Henry’s first aid kit. Thanks for this reminder. Henry says Nili needs a cookie. I’m sharing with all my dog parents.
I love doing the calendar as it reminds me also and Henry deserves double cookies with a woof from Nii
