Apr 25th “NATIONAL KIDS AND PETS DAY – April 26”

“Pets and Children make good friends, forever!”

NATIONAL KIDS AND PETS DAY

National Kids and Pets Day is observed annually on April 26th.

National Kids and Pets Day is both a day to celebrate the bonds children and pets can share and a day remember safety where our pets and children are concerned.

There are many benefits of having a pet in a child’s life. From fostering natural nurturing abilities to developing responsibilities, pets have a lifelong impact on a child’s development.

It is also important to remember that small children as well as the pets may not know their limitations and should not be left alone with each other. They should always be supervised to prevent injury to both the child and the animal.

HOW TO OBSERVE

Help kids and pets learn to be good companions to each other. Use #NationalKidsAndPetsDay to post on social media.

Just have to post this PHOTO of my Grandson, Alan with his very own little pet, and as you can see, when a young child receives a new PET – that is only for them, and it is what they have asked for, – “Well, it is LOVE at first sight – and you can see in their face – the LOVE just shines out with the biggest LOVE smiles – forever!”

“Only because “Alan” has a “blue” jacket on – I just thought that the song about, “Little boy, BLUE” – should be with this post, for the little ones that can hear the song, and then remember that with all “PETS” – that you would take home to LOVE and to have forever, that there is some work to be done, also – and that to take good care of the little “PET” – will make for a very long and lasting friendship – with your very own “PET” for the rest of your LIFE!”
