US Pet Frenzy Infographic
December 20, 2011 10:27 amI do enjoy the odd infographic which usually displays some astonishing numbers and statistics on any given subject, and when I read the one from FrugalDad.com (one of my favorite reads), I just had to share.
It sort of makes me think that this year, I should NOT buy gifts for my hounds, and in lieu of that, make a donation to the local shelters instead. I mean, people going out and buying diamond eternity bands and other things for their pets is pretty ridiculous when a fraction of that cost could save thousands of animals.

What Are Your Favorite Pet Gifts?
December 19, 2011 5:19 pmWell obviously we’re dead in the middle of the Christmas season, and I’m heading out tonight to do some shopping for not only only my family – but also my beloved pets. Truthfully they were there for me every single night I’m home and I love them more than words can say.
What are some of your favorite gifts for your pets? My hounds are particularly fond of stuffingless toys and the marrow bones, but honestly – I think this year not only am I going to spoil my hounds, but I’m also going to make sure that the older toys that mine have become bored with, and treats they don’t like – all get used by the adoptable animals in shelters like Heavenly Creatures.
While we’re home enjoying our families and eating great food (a little too much sometimes), remember that there’s a lot of homeless animals that are in cold steel buildings all over our great country just wishing they had the same thing.
Donate, donate, donate.. don’t ever think that your paltry few bucks won’t help.. it does! And you’ll feel great.. I guarantee it
