It’s Valentine season and not just for humans. This seems to be a big deal month for humans. They give each other candy (that's a treat for humans) and heart-shaped stuff. I also noticed the American Heart Association uses the month of February to promote healthy heart habits for humans.
Why you ask? Because despite what humans think, dogs know that the number one killer of humans is heart attacks/heart disease. How is it that dogs know more about the human heart than humans do? Hmmmm.
Which brings me around to my favorite topic: pets. Pets are so good for the human heart. We keep the heart loved and comforted. I’d like to think that a pet’s love (especially a dog’s) is all a heart needs but it’s just not enough. Hearts need proper food and exercise and it’s important that heart health goes both ways: humans need to take care of their pets’ hearts too.
Can you imagine a better time to show your dog and cat how much you really love them (and their heart) than a Valentine gift? Would you like a suggestion? A heartworm-free pet! Better yet, get your dog and/or cat examined for heartworms and keep them on monthly heartworm treatment. After that, add an ASPIRINPOD heart to their collar as a constant reminder of their love for you and the need for heart care for them.
What’s an Aspirinpod you ask? It’s a tiny pod that holds an aspirin for humans and serves as a heartworm medicine reminder for pets. My pal Piper is modeling one of these lovely gifts below.

So, here’s my lesson of the day… Valentines is great for humans: they give extra attention to one another, lots of chocolate treats and bubbly stuff called champagne. My advice, make this holiday about loving your humans and pets EVERY day with a check-up and an ASPIRINPOD. … Because love isn’t just for holidays.
Okay, the question of the day is from Tippy who asked: Dear Parker, I’m happy. When I’m happy, I vigorously wag my tail. When humans are happy, they show their teeth in a weird way. I believe they call it smiling. When a dog shows its teeth, we’re usually pissed off at something or someone so how does a human know we’re happy by our wagging tail?
Dear Tippy:
Great question Tippy and I relish (word of the day) answering it. Some humans show happiness by laughing and others by crying. You may have heard your humans say, “My friend was crying tears of joy.” My point? Humans understand there are all sorts of ways to show happiness – even if you’re a dog. ...So wag away.
