In this day and age, pets are a daily occurrence in almost every household, whether people own a cat, dog, or fish. These pets are loved, cherished, and posted on social media for everyone to see. Some people even go as far as making separate social media accounts just for their companions to be seen by the world. But what about here at Nardin? Our pets deserve love, too, even if they are not seen by thousands of people. This series was created to let students show off their most beloved friends, whether they have fur, feathers, or fins.
We are in a whole new year, and it is the month for love and valentines- how perfect! Who gets more love and attention from us than our pets? And, even better, you will get to spend all winter break with them! From my heart to yours, Happy Valentine’s Day!
