It's National Pet Parent's Day!! Or Is it?

Did you know that today is National Pet Parent's Day?
I'm not quite sure if it is April 17th or April 24th
I checked and I see it listed as both dates for 2011!
Soooo...I say just honor your
"pawrents" every day! Then you'll be totally covered!

"Wow! Look how big Mom's nose looks in this picture!"
"Dad got rid of these glasses...thank "COD"  he also cut his hair and joined the year 2011"
I love you cause you are the best,
even when I don't let you rest.

I love you when you give me food,
even when you're not in the mood.

I love you when we play with toys,
even if you sometimes annoy.

I love you "to the moon and back"
now get off of your butt
and give me a snack!!

Happy National Pet Parent's Day
Mom & Dad!!


Love, Cody

Love the poem :) Happy pet parents day to us both!

Kathie said...

Okay Cody, fess up, you made your paw-rents breakfast in bed this morning right? Just to make the rest of us look like slackers? We didn't hear about this holiday until we read your post but now we have to think of somethin' for our Mom or she'll think we don't appreciate her feedin', treatin' and scoopin' duties! Maybe we'll just copy your great poem and prop it in our feedin' station! Yep, that's it!

Julie said...

Happy Pet Parents Day!! Great photos, and the poem is priceless. So cute!

Denise said...

I think the holiday is scheduled for the last Sunday in April, which is the 24th. But since that's Easter this year, it's been "moved" to today. Anyway, have a good one! Love the poem :-)

Hilary said...

Scrappy Grams said...

I had not heard of this holiday. Lenny Kitty said nothing about it when he sent me the message that it was time for me to rise. lol
Love your poetic tribute, Cody! How grateful your pawrents must feel. :)

Spitty-the-Kitty said...

Cody, That is an excellent poem! There are even parts I agree with, especially about the toys and food. Hmmm. Maybe I'll have to work on a verse myself.

Oskar said...

@Julie thanks soo much! I am glad that you liked it!

@Kathie nope!! I sure didn't make breakfast but I let them sleep til 8am and that is something that I NEVER DO!!!
