April showers bring May flowers, but the showers have been quite abundant this month. Regardless of the weather, May is a time of growth, blooming flowers, and heartwarming moments with our pets. As we tiptoe through the rain drops and tulips, let us focus on our adorable tail wagging pets’ happiness and health, encouraging us to advocate for animals in every way possible. Whether National Rescue Dog Day or Puppy Mill Action Week, May offers plenty of chances to reflect on how we care for our pets and find new ways to celebrate them. It’s a month that reminds us just how much joy animals bring to our lives.
