MAKE SURE PETS ARE CARED FOR

PEOPLE please, it’s that time of year to go on holiday and be happy. I ask you with tears in my eyes to please not leave your pets to fend for themselves alone at home. Get someone to feed your pets, like a neighbour or family. It’s so easy to make a plan before leaving. They really do depend on you.
