Responsible Owners & Happy Pets Have Something to Celebrate!


Did you know that February is Responsible Pet Owners Month? That's something I just learned when I googled February holidays! Since many of us are, or would like to be, pet owners, I thought this would be a good topic for this month. 
Being a responsible pet owner means understanding the type of animal you are caring for, knowing how to take care of its physical and emotional needs, and following through on the promises you made when you begged your parents to get it for you! It also means being aware of  how your pet affects your environment and the other people who live in it. Pets cannot be responsible for themselves. There is a lot to learn!
So this assignment is going to be easy. Do an internet search for "Responsible Pet Owners Month". You will find many websites with articles about all aspects of responsible pet ownership. Read and report on one of those articles. Share something helpful that you learned. Be sure to include the name of the website (and a link if you want). When you sign your name, include the name (and species) of your pets!
