It’s Pet Appreciation Weekhttps://nationaltoday.com/pet-appreciation-week/ starting on Monday, June 5, which can be difficult for a lot of pet owners, because we’re already appreciating at pretty close to full capacity for most of the year. But it’s important to make the extra effort, whether that’s by getting them some extra-nice treats/treats, springing for some new chew toys, or taking them to their favorite dog park to meet with friends. It’s also a good week to reflect on how much our pets give back to us every day just by being their goofy, loveable selves. So be sure to give your pets some extra love this coming week, but if you need a bit of practice — or if you just have an abundance of appreciation to bestow — you can get in the right frame of mind by appreciating these boys and girls.
