Happy National “Love Your Pets” Day!
I think most people who own pets think of them as more than just animals. They are our companions, our babies, and our best friends. At least that's how I feel about my tater tots.
Since I adopted Tater from Last Hope Animal Rescue in 2020, I can't imagine what my life would be without him. Sure, he steals all my socks and bites holes in them, barks, and attacks literally every animal that comes on the TV, but he cuddles with me when I'm sad, keeps me company when I'm lonely, and makes me laugh. Along with his precious Snuggletoof! I wouldn't trade him for anything in the world.
In honor of today's happy holiday, we want to meet your pet! That means any pet: horses, cows, reptiles, hamsters, birds, fish, etc. We asked our Facebook listeners to share photos of their cutest pets and received hundreds of entries. We hope they brighten your day as much as we did. Some of our favorites are listed below.
