National Pet Day 2021 (In United States) https://bookmypainting.com/blog/national-pet-day/ https://bookmypainting.com/blog/national-pet-day/#respond Tue, 24 Mar 2020 08:20:28 +0000 https://bookmypainting.com/?p=152838

National Pet Day. Yep, the day of the year where we collectively celebrate the joys of living with a fur ball of love. Think of it as Valentine’s Day for your dog, cat, bird, or whatever else has caught your heart on this day. While our pets do so much for us every day, national pet day encourages us to reciprocate the love and affection collectively.

On this day we are urged to pamper our pets a little more than other days focus on the special relationship with our pets and realize their importance in our lives. Pet Day celebrates the joy that pets bring into peoples’ lives and encourages helping reduce the number of animals in shelters. Helping out orphaned pet companions will improve their health and enhance their opportunities for adoption. Bringing humans and animals together helps make the world a better place.

Facts, You Might Not Know

If you consider your pet a member of the family, you’re not alone: 60 percent of pet owners feel the same way! 66% of Americans have pets, with the ASPCA assessing 70-80 million dogs and 74-96 million cats in the U.S. alone. Fish, gerbils, rabbits, and turtles are a big part of this day too! As per the ASPCA, 7.6 million animals enter shelters in the U.S. consistently each year and 2.7 million animals are euthanized. To get you prepped for the holiday, we’ve thrown together with few facts about pets and pet ownership:

  1. Almost 80 million U.S. family units have a pet, and 42 percent of those families have more than one.
  2. Cats don’t regularly meow at each other – that is a specialized communication tool reserved for their humans.
  3. Forty-five percent of pet proprietors state they occasionally (or much of the time) purchase presents for their creatures.
  4. Parrots, as per the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS), are the country’s fourth most well-known pet.
  5. Goldfish have a notoriety for being short-lived animals, yet given appropriate consideration, they can live up to 30 years in captivity.

 

History of Pet Day

It all started in 2006 with Colleen Page, Animal Welfare Advocate. She decided to celebrate the joy and love that pets bring into our lives. So as a Pet & Family Lifestyle Expert, she wanted to celebrate all pets. This is where it all started. Colleen advocated for the adoption of pets from animal shelters. So to create awareness among the general masses for the animals awaiting homes in shelters, she brainstormed the holiday. As per the ASPCA, roughly 6.5 million animals per annum enter animal shelters.

This number is decreasing over the years but still, there are a significant number of animals who enter and are euthanized in these shelters due to shelter capacity and lack of awareness. The idea behind celebrating this day is to decrease this number, encourage people to adopt than purchase. On this day, people are urged to love their pets, groom them, pamper them, adopt pets, spend more time with them, and volunteer at the local animal shelter.

Why we Love National Pet Day

National Pet Day is all about celebrating the unconditional love that animals give every day without complaining. This day is annually observed in the United States in May and the United Kingdom, it is celebrated in the month of April.

 

They make the best companions

Best Companions

On the off chance that you live alone, or your accomplice works distinctive move patterns to you, it can get forlorn at home – except if you have a pet! Pets make great companions – they’ll always be waiting for you to come home and they’ll be happy to lend an ear should you want to moan about the awful day you’ve had. They fix our forlornness and stress, shape their schedules to us, and frequently become integral individuals from our families. Plus, most of the time, they’re up for a snuggle on the sofa.

They help us keep up with routines

Heartwarming Christmas Gifts for Everyone in the Family (2020) https://bookmypainting.com/blog/christmas-gifts/ https://bookmypainting.com/blog/christmas-gifts/#respond Thu, 14 Nov 2019 10:03:30 +0000 https://bookmypainting.com/?p=92013

A nice person in your life is a gift from God. When you gift to that person the bond becomes nicer. Here are Christmas gifts for everyone in your family.

Christmas without Christmas gifts can make any person sad. Remember that year when they tricked you of not having any Christmas gifts for you. Didn’t it end up as the saddest moment. Don’t let this happen to the one you love.

We know where the problem occurs. You cannot actually figure out what will be the most appropriate thing to give to somebody as a present. Is it?

Let us start by having a discussion on what would be the last thing that you can do. A framed picture? Wouldn’t that be too simple? And gifting a pair of earpiece will go beyond your budget.

To save you from such a dilemma we want you to get through the following guidelines to be the perfect person who gifts the perfect creative thing (only if you are looking for something really, really creative).

For All the Pretty Women

Women are not easy recipients of presents. Why would they even be? Have you ever saw a woman selecting or deciding Christmas gifts for a friend? You should never give such a bright lady, some idiotic Christmas gifts.

The first woman of your life is definitely your mother. On Christmas, though she will not expect any Christmas gifts from your side, but what if you surprise her.

For all the teachings about the life that she gave you, she deserves one. Remember that day when she first told you the story behind why we celebrate Christmas.

Why not start your gifting session with her on this Christmas by gifting her something really creative?

Portrait of your mother for your mother

A Hand-painted Portrait for your Mother

A Hand-painted Portrait for your Mother

Handmade portraits are one of the best creative options when it comes to gift someone. Imagine the bulky happiness she will go through seeing her face on a canvas and that will be handmade.

To help you through getting such a portrait, here are the guidelines. Follow them and be a super child of your super Mom!

  • Contact us and send us the best picture of your beautiful mother.
  • You can go through the medium to paint. The mediums that we use for such portraits are watercolor painting, oil painting, pencil sketching,  charcoal drawing, and color pencil sketching.
  • From all the choices already mentioned on the website, select the appropriate size for the portrait.
  • We will not be knowing anything on our own. So, to get the perfect portrait, specify us the name of your dear mother if you want to put that on the portrait.
  • Please be very specific about the background. List us all the instructions beforehand, about the elements you want and don’t want in the background.

And boom! You will get your painting within the time we discussed it. Get it packed and gift it to your mother this Christmas.

A book with LOVE!

Books as Christmas gifts

Books as Christmas gifts

Another option for you to opt for can be a book. A collection of questions related to all the emotional sides you have for the woman who raised you and carried you.

Just answer those questions that are already printed on the book and read it for your mother. She is definitely going to cry in joy.

Present for your Daddy cool!

You remember those Christmas evenings when out of nowhere you saw your Santa came with all those Christmas gifts that you actually desired for. Did you ever know where your father suddenly disappeared?

Well, now you know! To be his Santa for this Christmas, try out these creative gestures to make his holidays awesome.

Portrait of his doggo

A Hadmade Drawing for your Dad

A Handmade Drawing for your Dad

Just like almost every father present in the world, yours must be a fan of his pet. Or is it, that he is still missing a pet who, unfortunately, is no more?

What you can do is, send us the picture of the pet, and we will get you a 100% handmade pet portrait that can melt his strong heart in seconds.

Tell us beforehand about the time, medium, size, and the side changes and we will get it ready for your cool dad.

Trust us the reaction that your dad will have on his face while unwrapping the portrait will surprise you!

Fitbit for the freaks!

Fitbit For Freaks

Fitbit For Freaks

Are your father still the same as when he used to push you up from your bed at 0500 hours? Is he still the one who gives you the statistics of the daily distance he jogged, or the number of steps he must have taken?

He might be the one, then, who calls his friends every weekend and gobbles as much chicken drumsticks he can and drink beer like he must be having water.

For any of the categories he lies in, try gifting him a Fitbit. Let him know the actual number of calories he needs to burn down. Or let him get even more motivated to walk the extra mile with a million-dollar smile. This makes the best Christmas gifts for the Millenials.

 

What about your Sissy?

Is your sister a real annoying creature yet the too lovely for you? You might have a lot of memories with her, after all through all your early days she was with you.

Though she was always ready with a plan to trap you but she was the first person to whom you went and told everything you did.

Don’t you want to give this best friend a cute creative gift?

Portrait out of her obsession

A pizza is nothing more than a bread without the cheese on it. in your life that cheesy person is your brother. He is the one who creates a mess around in your life.

When you throw up in your life or get yourself into big troubles, he is the one who holds you up and fights for you.

This Christmas, say thanks to him by gifting him what he will like the best.

A portrait for his class
