Pets & Kids Calendar – October
Posted on: October 1st, 2016 by Barbara Denzer
October is one of our favorite months for the Kids & Pets connection. World Smile Day is a natural since a lot of pets naturally smile! Kids can help walk the dog, love the Dalmatians and Fire Trucks on Fire Pup day, and love farm animals, especially baby ones. Don’t forget the pets on Howl-o-ween! Check out the many other special kid-pet days or days you can use to help kids bond with pets!
