30 days in November 1...

Okay, it's November and for the next thirty days I'm going to try and write about some of the silly days we are increasingly asked to celebrate. So, here are the days we could celebrate in November...

Cook your pet some food day.

'Eating home-cooked meals does you a lot of good: it’s healthy, easy on the pocket, and really tasty. So why not do the same for your pets, who usually have to eat tinned food? Imagine how happy you will make them by simply setting aside some time on this day and make their dinnertime special.'

So cooking for your pets meals might seem a little strange, given that in the wild they wouldn't eat any cooked food at all, but why not? In fact why don't we have pet restaurants? A place you can turn up with Tiddles or Pongo and share a romantic candlelit meal and perhaps a glass or two of w(h)ine.

Well, maybe not the wine, but why not pet restaurants? What self-respecting rabbit wouldn't adore a wonderful tossed salad consisting of dandelion leaves, baby shoots and radicchio? Would Polly really turn her beak up at a medley of chopped fruits and dates topped with a sprinkle of roasted pecan and macadamia nuts? Would Billy the Fish really not enjoy a foam of krill wrapped in a poached nori parcel? 

For the gourmet cat a selection of the finest fish in a cream sauce, for the discerning dog only the most tender cuts of meat; and their owners could eat the same dish if they wanted. Although the biscuits might be a problem.

We treat our pets like the members of the family they are. We have pet friendly hotels, we dress them in clothes, they even get their own Christmas jumpers; so is the idea of taking your pet to a restaurant for a special meal such a silly idea? I don't think so. 

Perhaps I may start a chain. All I need is a name...
