How to Pamper Your Pup on Valentine's Day!

Goldberg and Aiden want to wish everyone a Happy Valentine's Day!
Here are some tips on how you can pamper your pup.

First of all, I read an article on how to relax your dog is by turning on some classical music. It has been proven that certain classical music is soothing to a dog. I know this to be true, because when my beloved Alex had his brain tumor, I played some Bach and he seemed to rest easier.
You can also make a heart-shaped cake with canned dog food. I always do that for my dog's birthday or in one of my older post, I gave a recipe for homemade dog biscuits. You can use a heart shaped cookie cutter to make them heart cookies.
You can also spice up their food by adding a little something special in their dinner. This is something you can cook on a regular basis, because it is healthy for them.
Here is a recipe I use:

Chicken and Rice
Boil the chicken( I use the leg quarters)
After chicken has boiled, remove it from the broth.
Reserve enough of broth to cook the rice to (according to recipe on the box of rice)
Cut up the chicken( make sure you get all the bones out)
After rice has cooked, add the cut up chicken to the rice.
You can add this to the dry food of your choice or feed it alone..
Barley can substitute rice, if you prefer. They will love it!

Other ways to pamper them is to spend some quality time with them. I know most of us have to work and don't seem to have enough time to spend with our pets, but on this special day, take a few minutes to do the things they enjoy. Mine love to play ball. Maybe yours like to take walks, but whatever they enjoy, take the time to do it.

I know alot of people might think all this is a little foolish or going to extreme, but why not. If you love your dog, we consider them part of our family. They give us alot of love, so why not use this special day to return the favor.
This is not only for your dog, but for whatever pet you have.
