The summer season is finally here... or mostly anyhow.
Here's some great ideas for activities with your pets so you both can enjoy the warm weather, and feel liberated after a long, hard, cold winter.
1. Visit a National Park
Typically, it's no more than a 2 hour drive for anyone to get to one of the country's most beautiful assets, our National Parks. A place where you can walk, run, bike, or just have a nice outdoor picnic, a park is a great space to reconnect with nature and enjoy each other's companionship.
2. Go to the beach
For those of you who are lucky enough to live close to a body of water, the beach is a fantastic spot to soak in some sun and let the little guy run him or herself into the ground. Because you know what I say? An well exercised pet is a well behaved pet :)
3. Go rollerskating/blading
A good way for both of you to shake off the winter rust and start getting into better shape.
4. Coordinate a backyard party
Why not invite all your neighbors and their pets over to enjoy a lovely afternoon of comradery and playfulness. What better way to reconnect with the neighborhood than to have them all over to socialize, play, eat and be merry!
5. Consider taking a pet-training course
Heaven knows that your little rascal was not the model citizen all winter indoors. Enrolling into an obedience course would be good for your master/pet relationship, and an even better way to meet other pet owners and enthusiasts.
6. Look for the "Dog Day at the Park" in your area
A lot of professional league teams usually schedule one day a season when their team is playing at home that the fans can bring their pets along with them. Usually it's the baseball leagues that do this, but it's a great idea! Just don't say those evil words... "I'll take two hot dogs...." Hahahahaha.
7. Good old game of frisbee!
Why fix it if it ain't broken? The owner/pet equivalent to a good game of catch. Always a winner in my books.
8. Go for a day at the spa
With the warmer weather coming, getting your little buddy groomed and ready for higher temperatures is sure to be on the list of things to do anyways. And while Fluffy is getting her nails done.. why not skip off and get your own manicured? Or your hair styled?
There are so many ways to enjoy the company of your pet and now's a great time to get out, enjoy the fresh air and feel alive again.
