For years now I've dreamed of one day having my very own furry friend to love and look after. But as I still stay in the family home, my Dad isn't exactly too keen on the idea. But me stopping to ooh and ahh over just about every dog that I see when we're out and about, even got to the point where this year, for my birthday. My parents bought me my very own pomeranian pup stuffed toy. You have no idea how much joy I get from looking at his little face. So you can only imagine what I would be like with the real thing.
I'm not someone who has any real desire to have children. But when I have a house or flat of my own, finally becoming a pet owner is right at the top of my list of things to do. And I can already picture just how special Christmas will be with my little bundle of bluff running around.
This year Petplan, the UK's top pet insurance providers, are making it a Christmas to remember. For us and the animals that we love. Whether that's your own pets or those of family and friends.
As Christmas Day gets ever closer, Petplan are spreading the festive cheer with their incredible Pet Advent Calendar. Each day there is a chance to win some brilliant prizes. Such as pet stockings, Cat Champagne and even Doggy Yoga.
I know that if we were to have a furry friend in our family, they would get even more spoiled than the humans at this time of year. Or any to be totally honest. There are now so many incredible gifts to choose from for cats, dogs, bunnies and beyond. From Pawsecco, chew toys and unbelievably soft new beds to the slightly more elaborate doggy day spas. There truly is something for every kind of pet.
Will you be celebrating this year with your furry friend? Or do you one day dream of adding one to your family? And what is your favourite thing about the festive season?
This post is in conjunction with Petplan but all thoughts are my own.
