All of us at Parrish Creek want to wish you and your pets a happy Valentine's Day! There are so many reasons to love our pets this time of year. We want to share 25 of them!
1. Who else do you know who welcomes you at the door, showers you with kisses, and then piddles/poops on the floor?
2. They screech your name every 5 minutes (birds).
3. They wrap around your arm and neck, and lightly nudge you with their heads (snakes).
4. They follow you around the house, waiting for dinner or a hand out.
5. When you're having a bad day and start crying, they are the first to cuddle with you and let you know everything will be okay.
6. They overcrowd the bed, but somehow you are able to sleep.
7. They help you reach your fitness goals.
8. They splash you with water when you give them a bath.
9. They constantly make you laugh.
10. They are excellent listeners (and they don't talk back--minus the birds).
11. They repeat the four-letter words you wish you hadn't said (birds).
12. They make you feel calm.
13. They destroy things, but somehow you still love them.
14. They shed and you think it's the coolest thing ever, so you let your child take skin to school for show-and-tell (snake).
15. Somehow you love to give them belly/head rubs and they love you for it.
16. They stick their heads out the car window and love every car ride. (dogs)
17. They hate every car ride and let you know that (cats).
18. They drool and you think it's the cutest thing ever.
19. Even when they poop on the floor, you still love them.
20. Giving them treats is like Christmas for you.
21. Christmas with them is the best thing ever.
22. When they get sick, they teach you empathy.
23. They give you the best videos to put on You Tube.
24. They amuse you with their tricks.
25. No matter what, they always love you.
