As if we don't shower our pets with love every day, apparently we have been given a day to celebrate them. So, on this national day of loving, I have provided -
Ten Ways to Love Your Pet:
1. Spend a little extra time just sitting, petting, and talking to your pet today.
2. Get the leash and go for a walk with no agenda. Let them sniff everything they want.
3. Play with them with their favorite toy (we have one Cavalier King Charles Spaniel that loves to play with her floppy frisbee and begs EVERY day for this).
4. Give them a special meal - we make a lot of home cooked stews for our dogs (my specialty is food therapy - using food for healing instead of using medicine).
5. Make some home made treats - there are a lot of online recipes for healthy treats.
6. Take them for a ride in the car, even if you don't go anywhere other than around the block.
7. Schedule a play date with other dogs if they are sociable.
8. Schedule a massage for your pet (or give your pet a massage).
9. Help your dog create his "bucket list" and do something on the list.
10. Actually listen to your dog. Learn to understand what he or she wants.
Healthy home made treat:
Grated coconut (I like the Cocotherapy coconut chips)
Add hot water to rehydrate; can simmer on stove for a few minutes to thicken.
Add two egg yolks and a sprinkle of cinnamon. Stir.
Beat the whites of two eggs until fluffy.
Fold into mixture of coconut and egg yolks and cinnamon.
Bake in mini muffin pan at 325 until firm.
Cool and eat. Feel free to share with your pets!
