Have you ever heard a friend say pets are people too? That’s what you’ll hear from crazy pet lovers like me. People like me are the ones that dress their pet up in outfits. We also let them eat off of supper plates just like any guest would in our home. To people like us, pets are just like family members. We are just as concerned about their health and well being as we are about our actual kids. We fret about them and take great enjoyment in their individual quirks.

Everyone knows that there are tons of American women and men who have never had any children. Some people just aren’t capable of having children for one reason or another. Some individuals have purposefully chosen to be bachelors or otherwise single. Sometimes single adults find themselves longing for the gratification of raising a child. If having a real baby isn’t an option for whatever reason, some of these decent people may choose to substitute a pet as if it were their actual kid.

Who can blame these good people for desiring that kind of love in their lives? Cats and dogs are so lovable that it is easy to see how they fill that roll. Many of you probably know friends or relatives that treat their pet like it was one of their own children. Doing that doesn’t make them crazy.

So, if the pet is going to be a regular member of the family, why not have a birthday party for it on its birthday? Why not do what you would do for any other kid. You can make her a special pet treat style cake. Put a candle in it and help her blow it out. Sing happy birthday to her just like you would a child. Then when you’re done, go ahead and let her tear open her presents. If it is a kitty, you should wrap some kind of catnip toy in loose wrapping paper so she will be able to tear it apart like a kid.

Get out your video recorder. Don’t forget to tape the special moment so you can share it online. Look at how many other animal lovers have posted videos of their cats and dogs online there. There are some really good ones with dogs on there. If you don’t believe me take a look for yourself.

Even though you don’t have any human kids around home, or even if you do, it doesn’t mean you can’t celebrate your pet’s special day. Shop for some new kinds of toys for your little furry pal and enjoy the day just as you would with a actual child.
