"National Pet Day is the annual celebration each April 11th for our beloved pets. Unlike other events that focus purely on one particular animal, National Pet Day is a joyous, all-inclusive party that shines a light on all pets great and small. Regardless of whether you have a finned, feathered or furry friend, National Pet Day is a wonderful excuse to celebrate your animal bestie.

Our current 3 pets are all furry Chihuahuas like Chile above. Because our pets are family members and greatly enrich our lives, we owe them much. Today is a time to celebrate this. After having had a bath, Chile is contently air drying. She loves to stay fresh and clean and to get the attention of being bathed. However, she hates the hairdryer. That is why she has been left to air drying while still sticking close to me.
