Love Your Pet Day!

[Martin-O2]

Hey everyone, 

Today is international Love Your Pet Day! I know there's no shortage of pet lovers here on the O2 community but today is the purr-fect day to show a little extra love to the critters in your life! 

I'm going to be giving my kitties a little extra for dinner tonight in the form of some fresh roast chicken (they're favourite)!

Will you be doing anything special for your pet today? Perhaps an extra long walk for the dog or a new toy for the cat? Or do you have a more non traditional pet you're planning something special for today? Let us know below.

As I had no idea there was an international pets day @Martin-O2, I won't be doing anything different.

My cats usually get a treat of chicken at the end of the evening anyway..

Extra long fuss @Martin-O2!

And me?  @Martin-O2

I'm looking after my 270 Red mason bees who are still sleeping ~ their treat will come later! Lots of fresh juicy nectar. 

The fox gets a treat every night as she goes on her rounds.The Birds get fed every day and have fresh water too,  they all keep me very busy (except the sleeping bees at the moment) but have been getting their new nesting boxes and tubes ready for the end of March.

How lovely to have a fox visit you each evening @TallTrees ... I've not seen a fox before only in photos / tv ... I do love them as my avatar shows 

I feed 2 flocks of sparrows which live in the hawthorn hedge alongside the Leeds Liverpool canal near where I live 

I didn't know it was Love Your Pet Day today either ... I shall hug my cat Marty all the more later this evening before he settles down at the bottom of my bed on a fluffy dressing gown I have now lost to him

Hi @Anonymous  (yes see your little fox in photo)

This family of foxes have been going through the garden for years.  

Enjoys a small peanut or jam or honey Sandwich every night! Just a snack

to keep her going.  The little ones play on the front when they are old

enough.  

I absolutely love those cheeky little Sparrows sadly on the danger list

with the RSPB  Those little Sparrows are so cheery makes my day when they are chirping

and boy can they Chirp!

@Cleoriff chicken every day! That must be one happy kitty! 

I gave them both a mega fuss @Marjo! 

I'm pleased you're both taking care of the local wildlife @TallTrees, @Anonymous. I had a couple of foxes living in my garden for a while. I'm hoping to see them again this summer. 

@TallTrees When do the bees wake up this year? 

[Mi-Amigo]

@Martin-O2I don`t have any pets now, but have had dogs and cats - all rescued.

@TallTreesbless you for feeding the fox. I used to have a vixen come into the garden where I used to live and I`d put something out for her. I remember on one occassion she brought one cub with her and didnt move when I went to the window to film her on an old silent Super 8 camera I had.

To everyone, its so nice to know there are so many cariing people out there who are doing their bit for the creatures we share this planet with

[Martin-O2]

@Mi-Amigo It's great you had rescue animals! So many need a good home but a lot of people want that cute kitten or puppy. I was looking at adopting but in the end my Uncles cat had 2 kittens that needed a home so I took them in. My much older cat was not impressed at all!
