Pet Appreciation week<\/p><\/div>\n

Woof Happy Wednesday Everyone,<\/p>\n

I thought every day was Pet Appreciation Day but Mom told me when we were in the park on Sunday that actually there is a special week set aside for this. Wow I never knew that and I am working it hard with her for lots of things BOL.<\/p>\n

Pet Appreciation week was started in 1981 by the American Veterinary Association.<\/p>\n

This year started it on June 4 and ends June 10 although in our house it carries on 24\/7 which I am sure happens in most homes but what we love about it is that it highlights so many points as to why we appreciate out pets so much and reminds us also of the unconditional love they give us.<\/p>\n

When I look back at my life and remember all my pets I remember how much they taught to me to appreciate them, to treasure them and to make sure they were loved all the time. I also think that is the reason that I stayed in the abusive relationship was because of Baby and how much I appreciated what she did for me and that list is a long one, but most important her giving me the strength and courage to run with her the moment I had that chance. It is something money cannot buy, that feeling of freedom with her and not having to walk on eggshells in the house anymore.<\/p>\n

Layla is Layla, I appreciate everything she does for me, her antics which keep me laughing, her unconditional love for me, her getting me out of the house and walking, and the list is endless. I cannot see my life without this little funny clown that is sleeping at the moment. For those that know her in person I am sure you are all chuckling about it. Our neighbor visits, Layla sits on her lap and howls as if she is part of the conversation, she then will get down and start digging up the bed and hiding her chews under the covers, her sitting moaning next to the desk demanding cuddles and attention, and so much more. But I would not change anything.<\/p>\n

What does Appreciation mean : In my eyes it means unconditional love, understanding, patience, laughter and much much more. And I think that the one thing that Layla really appreciates is that I rescued her and have given her a home, love and I can say she gone from pound to princess.<\/p>\n

So let us think about why you appreciate your pet ? What is so special about him or her ? What are you going to do special this week ?<\/p>\n

And why we are on the subject of appreciation we appreciate all of you reading our blog, commenting and sharing your stories with us here.<\/p>\n

Let us appreciate what we have, enjoy it, keep the negative away and keep the positive with us, have a wonderful week,<\/p>\n

With woof and love from Layla <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
