A few weeks ago I did a blog about how dogs show affection. In
it we talked
about lots of ways we
dogs let their peoples know how much we love them. One of the ways
we
show affection that I
didn’t talk about was giving gifts.
Not
all pets give gifts but lots of dogs and cats do. Cats are very
proud when
they catch a
bird or chipmunk. They
often
bring it to
their humans to
show what great hunters they
are and
share their prize with their humans.
Cats think a nice bird or chipmunk is a great thing to have so
humans must feel the same way.
At
Paw Pals Boutique we know
all about giving gifts cuz peoples
buy our gift baskets as gifts for their furry friends. So we know
how
happy
getting a gift makes someone.
DixieLee
is the big gift giver at our house. When
Mom and Dad come home from being gone, even for only a little time,
she
always greets them at the door with a gift cuz
she’s
happy they are home and
wants them to be happy too.
Usually she
brings them
one of the caribou
horns
because she loves caribou horns and so
Mom and Dad must
also. Here is a picture of her bringing her prized pterodactyl to Mom.
She
also likes to take Dad’s socks out of the laundry and bring
them to Mom. Once
Mom notices them
she grabs them away
and
runs to hide them in her crate. I try to tell her that it is not
nice give someone a gift and then take it back for yourself. When
I bring Mom a gift, it’s usually a nice toy we can both play with,
not a stinky sock.
Our
Mom and Dad like when we give them gifts. How do I know? I know
because they always say thank you, tell us how good we are, tell
us how much they like our gift
and give us big pettings and
ear scratchings.
Our
humans make us a nice home and we want them to know how much we love
them. Giving them gifts is just one of the ways we can do that.
Do
you give your humans gifts and if so, what’s your favorite gift to
give them?
Happy
gifting,
Love,
Zeva

Blatant self-promotion. For really great gifts to give your furry
friends, check out the gift baskets at pawpalsboutique,com
Great, but none of my pets brings me a gift. Not sure why not. Jasper only brings a toy he wants to keep for himself. He will take a toy to the front room, then leaves it for me to take back to our room. Meeko and Joshua don't play much, even though they have plenty of toys. A former roommate of mine had a cat who caught birds and brought them to the front door for her. LOL!
ReplyDeleteWhat can we say, cats will be cats. I'm sure Jasper shows his affection in many, many other ways (Meeko and Joshus too). :)
