I came across a story about Susan Boyle, the now famous British singer, and how she can't imagine leaving or uplifting her cat for the sake of her career. The article reads that, "despite the generous offer made by Sony Music, Boyle refused because she was concerned that Pebbles would never adjust". I can honestly say that I make some such decisions with consideration for my pets as well. For example, my husband and I will try to plan vacations where we can take our dog along with us. Ginger, our 2 yr old Chocolate Lab mix loves going on trips, and we hate leaving her at home, so we try to plan trips that she can enjoy too. We recently took her camping in Oklahoma and the 3 of us had a blast!

Here is a picture of Ginger enjoying her weekend camping trip this past November.

I'd love to hear what kinds of things you do for your pets to keep them happy. Post your comments below.
