Valentine’s Day is just around the corner. So, today’s No Frown Friday is dedicated to love – both puppy love and the other kind. I know some people aren’t fans of this holiday, but I’ve always kind of liked it. I think it stems back to my mom – every year she’d dig out the heart-shaped cake mold and make us yummy cakes. It was our annual tradition. Nothing better than eating those heart cakes with my family.
My hub’s managed to create some fun memories, too. However, I haven’t had much luck with the plants he’s sent me over the years! (I don’t think I inhereited the family green thumb, but I’m working on it.) In any event, it’s always fun. This year, we’re going to cook a nice dinner, drink some wine, and have a nice evening at home – though I’m sure Bella will try to squeeze her way in between us on the couch!
- Today’s punny pet names are based on some famous lovers: Elizardbeth Bennett and Bark Darcy.
- Check out these funny Valentines – my favorite manages to make reference to both Bill Cosby and Pudding Pops. How can that not be a winner? The one with the cat (you’ll see) was my personal runner up.
- No time to buy a paper card? Choose one of these awesome ecards instead.
- Some pets just wear their hearts on their sleeves (er, paws). If not, they might want to emulate Cooper of Cooper & Lola this Valentine’s Day.
- Has your dog always dreamed of playing Cupid? Sew DoggyStyle makes it possible.
- Speaking of dogs in love, I really enjoyed this post over at Gardening with Wyatt – it includes a perfect video clip for the holiday!
I had a hard time deciding what video to share today, but I decided to go with some Snoopy:
If you want to watch the classic Be My Valentine, Charlie Brown, it’s on tonight! I can’t wait.
Whatever you’ve got planned this weekend… check out these great tips at Cat Chat for keeping your pets (both feline and canine) safe during the days of wine, roses and heart-shaped boxes of chocolate.
My mom turned Valentine's Day into another excuse to give us gifts. VP (the Valentine's Pig) always came and left us gifts. You could always tell VP had come because there were signs that said Shazam! with red thunderbolts.
Awwww! I loved the Peanuts video. I don't think I've ever seen that before.
Thanks!
Love Valentine's Day! And uh, especially chocolate!
I love Valentines Day!
Thanks for the heads up on the Snoopy Valentine show tonight, I love Snoopy:)
Great post! LOVE Peanuts holiday shows…thanks for the tip about tonight! Gotta love Snoopy! Happy Valentine's Day to you all!
I totally loved this Snoopy video…nothin' better than Snoopy!
Thanks for such a great Valentine's Day post! I had more bomb Valentine's Day than good ones (starting back in grade school when I didn't get a card from whomever I had a crush on at the time) but over the years they HAVE gotten better!
xoxoxo
We love Valentines Day! Thanks for sharing more things to LOVE!!
Wyatt and Stanzie
Valentines Day is a wonderful holiday, and we've definitely got plenty of "puppy love" at our house!
Dogs make wonderful Valentines!
Perfect choice of video for today. It's the 10th anniversary of Charles Schulz's death. I like your collection of Valentine ideas…nice job.
Helen – the Valentine's Pig is such a cute idea!
Carrie – I didn't realize that! Thanks for the info.
Hope you are all having a wonderful weekend filled with puppy (or kitty) love!
I used to like it but a loss the day before put a damper on it for me. I do wish everyone else a wonderful Valentine Day! Lots of love, Debbie and Holly
Well Valentines Day means chocolate… and I love that! I know many of the blogs you mentioned but am excited to visit a few new ones now.
I do not liked flowers too much and I is not allowed to had any chocolate but I will had some little bits of She & He's steak if I layed down good for dinner!!
And Aswell too!
We are looking forward to Valentine's day just for a little extra love from our Mom. We are not sure she can come up with any extra since she loves us so much anyway. Hope you have a very Happy Valentine's day.
You can never go wrong with Snoopy! Happy Valentine's Day to you too!
Love the Peanuts holiday videos! Hope you have a wonderful Valentine's Day!
