Your pet can take a photo
with Santa at PetSmart!
I don’t know if I will make this a tradition of actually writing about every single person I make my “Blog Crush of the Day,” but tomorrow my crush will be the ultra-popular Laurie of “Crazy Aunt Purl.” For some reason, I have always been attracted to someone very different than myself.  Laurie is a Southerner who writes a knitting blog. On paper, I have absolutely nothing in common with her — which perfectly explains why I am fascinated with her.Â
Like many women, Laurie loves her cats. She even writes about them today. I’m always making fun of her cats. I’ve never had a pet, so maybe I just can’t relate. I’ve always wanted a dog, but never had the chance to own one.Â
On TV, I’ve been noticing advertisements for PetSmart, which is touting itself as the best place to buy your pet a Christmas gift. I asked her this question, and I want to ask you the same:
“I’m curious, as a pet owner, do you actually give your dog or cat a Christmas or Hanukkah gift?”
In the past, I might have thought you were odd if you said “yes,” but I think my views are changing. If someone is so loving with their pets, maybe this person is as giving with everyone, including her friends and family.Â
Still, be prepared for my mother to make fun of you when she reads, “Of course I give my poodle a gift.” Â
My mother will probably say, “Those blodgers are crazy!”
