63 Father’s Day

So Father’s day is coming up, and what gift shall Fido or Fluffy give Dad? This website has some cute ideas:

There are mugs, socks, hats, cufflinks, journals, tee shirts, and artwork.
Or why not do a picnic at the dog park? Or try some of the local restaurants that allow dogs outside on the patio like Twisted Root in downtown Lewisville?
Or if it is Dad’s chore to walk the dog, pick up the backyard (you know what I mean), or clean the litterbox, why not do those chores for him for Father’s day?
One of my favorite hobbies is photography with my fancy digital camera, but anyone can take some good portraits of pets & people. Why not take some pictures of your man with Max and Missy? Your boyfriend with Buddy and Bella? My secret trick- get in really close! Take lots and shots- you only need 1 good one. And use natural lighting- like through a window, or just go outside.

I would love to see some of your pet photos. Please email them to me (drpam@gardenridgevet.com), and I will put them on the website (with your permission).
