TGIF- Our pets have been such a comfort during this difficult time. In honour of all that our pets bring to our lives, why not celebrate National Love Your Pet Day this weekend. All of us at the Olde Forge would love to see some of the fun and creative ways you celebrate your pet. Scroll through some of the much loved pets the Olde Forge and please share some pics in the comments section below. It will be a great topic of conversation at our next seniors program. As you can see, Caesar the Puggle, Sunshine the budgie and Ozzy rabbit are already feeling the love.##nationalloveyourpetday #weekendideas #seniorsinottawa
