National Love Your Pet Day

[Catherine]

You are right about appreciation. Animals know if they are appreciated. They need that as much as they need good care. One feeds their bodies, the other feeds their spirits. 

I see it in the rescue guinea pigs. They know they have been rejected and something inside of them is broken. They know they were so unappreciated that they were abandoned in an apartment when the owners moved or packed up in their dirty cage and dropped off because they are no longer wanted. It takes a lot of work to build them back up. I have had better success with the guinea pig who was simply starving to death. It was easy to fatten him up. 

I think we better celebrate this day all year long. All the animals we encounter need the love we have to give them.

Arizona has high mountains with snow.




There is skiing in the winter, but the summers are very hot and dry.
I love Arizona in the summer. I would love to see the desert in the winter.
