Last Minute Valentine's Gifts for Your Little Furry Love

If you're like me, perhaps you've procrastinated a little too long, and now here it is Valentine's Day, and you forgot to pick up that something special for the furry love of your life! Well, never fear, you still have time and options! Here are just a few easy pooch-pampering gift ideas that you can pull together quickly. Yes, even today at the last minute!

Cook a special Valentine's meal. For you AND the pup!
My parents gave me a great cookbook called The Dog Ate It: Cooking for Yourself and Your Four-Legged Friends that offers up some great recipes that are healthy for both you and your pooch. Here's a great one to try!

Turkey Meatballs over Pasta

Take me out to the dog park!
If it's not too cold where you are, then take a little extra special trip to the local dog park. Make sure you bring your dog's favorite toy (Millie likes her ball), and take plenty of time where it's just the two of you. Turn off the cell phone. Leave behind the distractions. Your pup deserves that quality one-on-one time with just you! That is, after all, the best gift you can give them!

Canine Masseuse for a Day
A tummy rub is always much appreciated. This Valentine's Day, give Fido a good, long belly rub and incorporate some of these calming canine massage techniques. After a long day at play, this is a great way to help them unwind, and it's allegedly supposed to be a very good bonding tool between man and canine.
