Happy April! This month I am offering you some fun ideas to do with your dog during this Easter and Passover season:
1.Put some treats in a plastic Easter egg and leave them around your house or yard and let your dog have fun finding them. Be sure to put a colorful bow or rabbit ears on your dog and take some fun photos ears on your dog and take some fun photos!
2.Play a fun game of fetch or Frisbee, and then reward your dog with a great massage afterward while telling your dog about the Exodus from Egypt.
3.Buy a cute stuffed bunny for your dog and then watch him rip it to shreds. Time your dog to see how many seconds/minutes it takes. Supervise this. Never leave the stuffing on the floor for your dog to swallow; it is a choking hazard.
4.Get dog-safe purple food coloring and put it in water in a glass and let our dog think he is joining you at the Seder drinking the Manischewitz wine.
5.Take your dog for a fun drive (dressed in their Easter bonnet), and let them stick their head out of the window and smell new smells and see new sights.
