National Love Your Pet Day

It's late, but I just found out that it is National Love Your Pet Day! I feel bad, because I really haven't been home all day. My little pug, Milo, spent the day with my husband, so he wasn't alone, but if I'd known it was a special day, I would have made a special effort. I'll just have to do it tomorrow.

He needs a bath, so I'll try to get that done and maybe I'll make him some homemade dog treats. I'll be sure to make his day nice and relaxing and give him lots of pampering. It's not an easy task for someone chasing a 1 year old, but I'm sure I can do something to brighten his day.

There's still some time today, too. I'm going to snuggle with Milo on the couch for now. Take a little time and Love Your Pet today!

Children's Books Featuring Pugs

This week, I was talking to my Mom about how to teach my 1 year old son the difference between a dog and a cat. Currently, he calls them both "kitty". We were talking about books with dogs in them, and how none of the dogs look like his dog. Our pug Milo just doesn't resemble the floppy eared dog featured in most books. In fact, he often lays around the house and looks like a cat. At one point, he was calling him a dog, but I can't blame the kid for being confused.

So, I thought I'd look for children's books featuring pugs. To my surprise, there are many out there. I just needed to find them. Here's a link to Children's Pug Books. They look like interesting books, so I think I'll be heading to the library to find some.
