May is National Pet Month and about 80 million homes in America have a furry family member. It’s the best time for true bragging rights about how great and treasured our pets are. They are truly an incredible thing in our lives- we love them just like our human children; If we have them. Another reason is to spoil them rotten and give them gifts or treats. I know in my heart of hearts that having a pet makes your life richer, fuller, and just more endearing. So if you don’t have a pet, think about getting one, adopting one, or borrowing one from a loved one for a day of excitement and laughter.

Guest post opportunity:

I’d LOVE to open up guest post opportunities to share your own pet stories and your stories will be shared on my blog and shared through my social media accounts when being featured. This is an ongoing series that I’ll be sharing as they come in.

Include in your submission:

-your pet story; about 500 words or so… no less than half a page
-your bio (your bio and picture will be included at the end of the post)
a picture of you
-pictures of your pet (2-4 photos of your pet (or pet and you) would be best), these will be used throughout the post to make it even more personal

Each pet will also be featured on IG so please send a square picture.

*** I reserve the right to edit the photos with their name or with my branding for this website/my social media***

What it’s about:

Pet Story of the Week is a featured post series on this blog highlighting a personal story about your pet, any range of topics is considered. I love animals especially dogs, cats, and personally horses! I am such a dog mama at heart (since I don’t have human kids) and they are my world. So share why and how your pet makes you feel loved and how you interact with them on a daily basis, what about your pet makes them so special to you?

Which pets are welcome?

Any actual domestic pets are welcome, at my own discretion. Dogs, cats, turtles, fish, lizards, small rodents, rabbits, horses, birds, ferrets, and snakes, etc.

What kind of stories do you want to share?

From adoption and gotcha days, silly and funny stories, how they’ve helped you through things, big events in your life, or anything else. I could eve potentially feature a TikTok, reel, or short video if you’d like (check with me first, please).
