I also love to play, especially with my older brother and I’m never shy about letting everyone know when it’s mealtime (I have quite the set of lungs!).

March 30th is Take a Walk in the Park Day — and we can’t think of a better way to celebrate than by getting outside with your pets! As the weather begins to warm up and the days grow longer, it’s the perfect time to shake off winter and enjoy some fresh air, movement, and sunshine.
