On Wednesday, April 11, 2018, the world will celebrate National Pet Day. We have decided to embrace this opportunity in our newspaper in the Monday, April 9, 2018, issue of the Fillmore County Journal.
For many of our readers, pets are an important part of their lives. In our household, we have an eight-year-old male Yorkshire Terrier named Baxter. We purchased him as a pup from Scott Trouten of Harmony.
We also have an 18-year-old male Ragdoll cat named Stewart, who we acquired from the Rochester Animal Shelter for a whopping $5.
Both of our pets are more entertaining to watch than anything on television. If you’re a pet lover, than you’ll appreciate what’s coming your way next week.
On Monday, April 9, 2018, we will have stories about pets at businesses. Our readers might be surprised to hear that there are many cats, dogs, fish, turtles, and a number of other pets generating miles of smiles all throughout this area.
Along with stories about local pets working their magic at local businesses, we will provide an opportunity for local businesses that cater to the pet industry the opportunity to advertise their products and services within this National Pet Day section. For businesses that would like to be a part of the National Pet Day section, the ad deadline is 5 p.m. on Tuesday, April 3, 2018. You can contact our office at (507) 765-2151 or ads@fillmorecountyjournal.com.
And, for our readers, we are offering something a little different; a little fun. Send us a photo of your pet with a copy of the Fillmore County Journal included, and we will incorporate the photo into an ad that will appear in the paper in the near future. You can send your pet photos and information about your pet to ads@fillmorecountyjournal.com.
Get your doggie treats and catnip ready! National Pet Day is just around the corner.
