Celebrate Valentine’s Day With Your Furriest Friend

I don’t go all-out for romantic love in my Valentine’s Day postings. That’s just not my wheelhouse. You can find a few of my previous Valentine’s Day posts here:

As you can see from the title of this post, I thought that Valentine’s Day with your pets would make a great Valentine’s Day blog.

Of course you love your critters all year around, but Valentine’s Day is the purr-fect time to show your pet some extra love. Whether you have a dog, cat, or another type of furry (or feathery… or scaly) friend – Valentine’s Day is a great opportunity to show them how much they mean to you.

Pets make the BEST Valentines

Why do pets make the best Valentines?

Pets are loyal and loving companions who are always there for us.
They are great listeners and never judge. (Well, okay, sometimes cats are pretty judgmental, but it’s not just you…)
It has been proven that pets lower stress levels, even in those battling PTSD
Pets bring us joy, comfort, and companionship – all things that make them great Valentines!

Celebrating Valentine’s Day with your pet:

They bring joy to us all year, so how can we make the day extra-special for our pets?

Take your dog for an extra long walk or a run in the park. For other animals, think out-of-the-box ways to exercise or have fun. Chasing a tinfoil ball or bag tie? A run around the room in an exercise ball?

Buy a special toy or treat for the big day. Even the box, ribbon, or wrapping paper can provide hours of fun. Maybe eliminate the toy altogether and just go for the box!

Give them extra cuddles and belly rubs throughout the day.

How about that special meal? Fido and Felix may not be up for candles (maybe try those little electric tea lights) but they probably wouldn’t turn down homemade chicken broth, salmon treats, or some other favorite meal they don’t get very often. Valentine’s Day is a special occasion! Share a treat!

Doggie playdate? Cats may not be interested in visitors on Valentine’s Day, but if your pooch enjoys socializing with another dog, why not set up a special playdate?

And when all of that is done, and they have curled up to go to sleep, that gives you time to…

What the Cat Knew

Reg Rawlins, professional con, has really gotten herself into a bind this time.

The fortune teller gig started as a scam, but she suddenly finds herself tangled up in the case of Warren Blake, a man who she thought was dead. It turns out he may still be alive, but in mortal peril.

Reg has always taken the quick exit, the easy way out, but running out on this racket might mean someone else’s death.

Staying in it might mean hers.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ It sounds like a fairly gentle story, but there is a lot of suspense involved. Add a bunch of humor to the mix and you are in for a treat … This is a story that you don’t want to put down.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This book has all my favourite things: heart, great writing, nearly-flawless editing, something unusual in the air, and a cat.
