Kind gestures for animals and a cake made from something animals eat
National Feed the Birds Day!
Much like the famous song in Mary Poppins by the bird lady, think of her and how we should feed our fluttery friends. Seagulls and pigeons ask for too much so I’m not talking about them- I mean nice park and garden birds who visit every so often. Get a bird feeder or look up how to make one yourself. They enjoy nuts, seeds, berries, raisins, apples and even crushed up Weetabix!
National Carrot Cake Day!
Ah the sweetness of a seemingly healthy cake (because it’s made of a vegetable)! Traditional carrot cakes have raisins also, similar to Sticky Toffee Pudding but they’re of course optional to include when baking yourself. Another feature is that the icing is often made with cream cheese rather than the more common fondant. Another thing to note is that if you have a nut allergy, they are often mixed and decorated with walnuts so you can definitely make your own version without.
National Doggy Date Night!
Have you got a furry friend you haven’t spent enough time with lately? Well tonight you can make it up to them on Doggy Date Night – get them a treat, one of their favourite things, a new toy or find that thing you bought a bit ago but forgot about! Let your dogs have their dog dinner near you so you eat together. Be mindful some people like to give their dogs human food but not everything is good for them. Be sure to keep them away from grapes and chocolate – most important as they’re poisonous to our furry friends.
