Patricia Haddock took an idea - and with a lot of hard work and help from others who care about animals - is well on her way to making the first Delaware Week for the Animals a reality from April 19-27. That's Patricia in her Georgetown home with two of her dogs, Basil (left) and Jetty.
Patricia is the Mid-Atlantic Regional team leader for Best Friends Network, a national group which works to support the bonds between humans and creatures. During the week, a variety of animal-related events - from an adoption fair, to a walk at the beach, from lectures and workshops, to a party at the pound - are all meant to celebrate that special connection.
As part of the event, Delaware Pets wants to celebrate your connections to your pets and other animals. E-mail us photos of your favorite animal - from a pet dog, cat, snake, mouse or bird, to a cow or sheep on the farm, or even a backyard squirrel - to pets@delawareonline.com.
Include your name, the animal's name (if it has one) and a contact number in case we have any questions. We would love to have photos of you with your favorite pet or animal, so identify any humans in the photos, too. We'll include as many photos as possible in a special April issue of Delaware Pets and at www.delawareonline.com/pets.
