Today is special. When you wake up, the first thing you see is your dog licking your face waiting for the morning walk. You may see your cat looking at you from the sofa with those deep eyes and graceful tail. No matter what kind of pet you have. You start by telling them "Happy pet day!" It sounds something like Woof! Meow! Chirp! Or maybe Ribbit!, but there is no better sound in the morning than listening to your pet answering you! You may not have a pet for many reasons, but oh my! you do love pets!

After my dog Winnie crossed the rainbow bridge, I was pet-less for months (for many reasons), but every time I saw a pet, I was dying to hug and kiss the little guys at the park. Now I can feel again what is like to wake up early in the morning and have a super-duper pet walk at the park. Sophie, my new dog, made me a proud "chihuahua mom" almost a month ago.

I am so ready to celebrate her day! But some pets are not so lucky, like pets in shelters or sanctuaries. If I could adopt all of them... Animal lovers would love to have a huge place and play all day with small, big, tiny and extra large pets.

What type of pet do you have? How are you going to celebrate? Sophie can't have enough hugs and kisses today, every day! My gift to other pets today will be to donate dog food to a man near my mom's neighborhood. He is an angel and walks every day on the streets with 8 or 10 homeless dogs. He stops in a corner with a sign, asking for food for the dogs and helping them to be adopted. That is not common in many countries, but in México, there are many homeless dogs. It is so sad. I am glad that there veterinarians that neuter street dogs for free.

How many angels do you know who help animals? Help them! Any little thing you can do will add love to their lives. Pets have that unique way to connect with us with their eyes and heart. Happy day to every pet on the planet!
