The human race domesticated cats an estimated 12,000 years ago. Dogs have been our friends for even longer, cohabitating with humans for at least 14,000 years, and possibly up to 30,000. Isn’t it about time they had a day all to themselves?
Pets are your built-in friends. They’re there to snuggle on a Friday night in, run up to you when you get home from work, and get you out of bed in the morning (which is for the better, even if it doesn’t always feel like it). They’re nice to you (if they’re dogs), they love you (if they’re dogs), and your home is their home (if they’re cats).
If there’s one drawback, it’s that caring for them can get a little pricey. But in this way, owning a pet is a lot like “Jurassic Park:” you’re not interested in sparing any expense. Luckily for those who like to pamper their pets, Amazon is hosting a two-day Pet Day sale (May 2 and 3), offering huge savings on food, litter, toys, crates, medicine, cleaning supplies, and a host of other pet essentials.
