National Pet Week

May 1st through May 7th is National Pet Week, which is intended to "promote responsible pet ownership, celebrate the human-animal bond, and promote public awareness of veterinary medicine."

Pets bring so much joy into so many lives.  If you own a pet, take a moment to hug them and pamper them, they deserve it!  If you don't own one, consider adopting a pet from a local shelter.
