daisy the dog with her hedgehog dog toyWhen I’m feeling down or blue, I can always count on Daisy to cheer me up with a kiss or a cuddle, or just by seeing her funny face! Did you know that pets need companionship, too? Although we have fun together,  Daisy sometimes gets mopey if she goes too long without seeing her buddies. It makes me aware of just how much she loves playing with her doggy pals! We’re lucky that we live in a community where Daisy has lots of play pals to spend time with on a regular basis. two cute dogs hanging out for a visitDaisy recently invited her gal pal Stella for a sleep over. It was the first time one of her pals spent the night and we all had so much fun that I just can’t wait until we are able to adopt a brother or sister for Daisy. It would be so great for all of us, and there are SO many pets out there in need of a forever home!

To help raise awareness, the non-profit campaign Pets Add Life (PAL), has officially declared November 19, National Get A Pal For Your Pet Day. Recognizing the benefits of having multiple pets, the day is set to encourage pet parents to consider adopting additional furry, winged and/or finned family members.
