NATIONAL KIDS AND PETS DAY

National Kids and Pets Day on April 26th raises awareness of the importance of picking the right pet for children at the right time. It’s an important decision that can lead to a lifetime of bonding between pet and child.

The day also celebrates the bonds children and pets can share and a day to remember safety where our pets and children are concerned. There are many benefits of having a pet in a child’s life. From fostering natural nurturing abilities to developing responsibilities, pets have a lifelong impact on a child’s development.

It is also important to remember that small children as well as the pets may not know their limitations and should not be left alone with each other. They should always be supervised to prevent injury to both the child and the animal.

Even though dogs and cats are some of the most beloved pets in the United States, pet homelessness is a huge problem in the country. There are about 70 million stray animals in the United States. Up to 8 million of these animals end up in shelters. There are 3,500 animal shelters in the country. It’s at these animal shelters that pets receive a second chance. According to the ASPCA, over 3 million shelter animals are adopted each year.

No matter the breed, size, or demeanor of the human, or, canine, the shelter will take the time to find the right home for their animals. They schedule visits and have procedures in place to promote healthy adoptions for families and individuals. While some dogs have experienced injury or illness, the shelters work with veterinarians to heal the animals before making them available for adoption.

@shoelady60,

Hey any Cheese Cake is a good Cheese Cake when you are celebrating with family. 🎈😎
I may have a slice maybe three times a year on special days.

My dad liked Pineapple Upside Down Cake so I will have a slice of that and they sell it
in a bakery I don’t want or need a whole cake.

Lady keep my family in your prayers. 💕We need all the prayers we can get.

I think the whole world needs prayers.

Enjoy your evening I am hoping the power lines don’t fall in the heavy wind and rain.
Wish us luck here in OZ. 😎

My entire family are watching the NFL Draft. 🎈

@oodiebom,

Good evening and drive safe going home I know you do but I like saying it. 😘
Oz is having hard rain and wind I am worried about the lines falling.

I let Poppy go to his emergency spot in the back of the yard there is no grass there and it
is just for him. Poppy knows this. 💕

The weather staff are pushing us to be aware and we are. The rains with the wind is the
problem. I am trying to feed the outdoors cats they do not like to get wet. I want to have
a full meal so they can get through the night. I have a security camera and I can see everything
around my house so I know when they are there. We just need to get through the next
72 hours and we can relax a bit rain all week but not as strong. Hey April Showers bring
May Flowers. 🎈😎

Glad your husband room mate is doing a bit better I wish he had visitors too. Everybody
needs someone in times like this. My heart goes out to him.

Oodie I hope they find your Van it must be a nice one. I wish your husband could ride
with you and see what is going on.

I love your bracelet from Heidi Daus Oodie we have the same taste. 😘😎 I may go for the
necklace sometimes it’s good to be tall. 😎

Enjoy this special night with your husband. Let me know how things went today.

Good Night.

Peace Out Peeps enjoy your evening. 😎

Good afternoon to you. Fairly nice day, not too hot and not too cold. Sun started to appear this afternoon.🌞

Just received the last order a few minutes ago for my husband’s golf needs.🏌️‍♂️ I have to call the nieces because I can’t find them on the usual schedule so not sure where/when they are golfing. They normally let me know and I haven’t heard.

Going to a nice restaurant on Saturday for mom’s birthday. I hope she can eat more than three bites. It should be a nice time.🎈🎂 Yes, they do have cheesecake, just not sure what kind,🍰

Lovely moon these last couple nights.🌚 You and Poppy enjoy your walk, hugs!🤗💖

I enjoyed watching HD while visiting hubby. Used the Kindle and he asked, “so what did you buy?”
At the time nothing, but then I decided on the zebra cuff.

Would you believe I am still waiting on the van. I contacted the dealership yesterday afternoon and they were waiting for a phone call from the head of Collision before they do the maintenance. I now wonder if they lost our vehicle. I have a few appointments today, but if I have a few minutes may drive over there. However hubby had a good idea. Pick him up at Rehab and drive over there together. Best idea yet. He wants to know and see what is going on. I am working on that angle as I type.

Hubby’s roommate seems to be coming around. Not sure if he has cancer or a virus or both. He is moving around a lot better and last night tried to get out of bed. I told him to hold it and I would ring for help. He listened. His coughing has also started to subside. Thanks in a sense to the illness, he hasn’t been able to smoke in almost two weeks. I sincerely hope he continues not to indulge. I just wish he had visitors.

The moon was in the East as I drove home last night. Nice and bright. Well, need to get a move on. Have a great day and enjoy the rain. If you have a chance, try to send some our way.
