For the Love of Animals: Animal Samaritans Upcoming Event
My daughter, Isabella recently started to teach our dog Boots (both pictured below)
everything she learns at her preschool: counting, days of the week, and even the pronunciation of letters from the alphabet. She sits him down, tells him stories and sometimes even asks him if he likes a particular song. It is amusing to watch the two of them together and the bond that grows between them stronger everyday. It doesn't matter that our dog falls asleep half-way through her stories or that he walks over her toys -- he is there with her and always ready to play.
When I write my blogs from home, Boots will sit up in my lap. He approves of everything I say, naturally, which is why I think he is incredibly smart....
I know that many pet lovers can attest to the fact that their pets improve their well being, significantly reduce their stress, and provide companionship.
If you're an animal lover you might be interested in the upcoming Animal Samaritans "Walk with the Animals" taking place on Saturday, March 21st from 9 am-12 pm. The money raised will help care for their homeless shelter and animals and fund the humane education program. There will be plenty fun activities for kids, pet costume contest and dog tricks. Note registration begins at 8 am.
In a previous blog post I mentioned some of the benefits of pet planning, pet trusts and charitable gifting options. There have been changes in California law regarding pet trusts, so more blog posts dedicated to pet trusts and pet planning coming up soon....stay tuned. Have a question or comment about a pet trust, charitable giving option feel free to contact me or any charity organization directly.
