The gift of time
A truly personal gift for your
busy friends
MetPet.com Staff Writer
 What is the most valuable thing
you have? It's your time! No matter who we are, we all have pretty
much the same amount of time in our lives. So give a really valuable
gift by offering your time to your friends and family.
We
love these ideas:
2 weeks of dog walking once a day - includes poop scooping
1 month of scooping, washing, deodorizing and refilling the cat litterbox
6 trips to the dog park, hiking path or beach for a good run
2 weeks of dog or cat sitting for vacationers
2 dog baths
2 cat baths (really valuable and only for the calm and courageous)
2 handmade cardboard box fun houses for cats. 1 every
6 months to keep them amused
1/2 day recovering the scratching post with carpeting or
sisal
2 hours planting catnip in the garden -plus-
2 hours harvesting, drying and storing the catnip
8 hours helping train the puppy
6 months of helping clip nails or trim feathers once a
month
3 months of refilling the bird feeders every week
Hand write these time-related offers on a note card or stationery, wrap or roll
it up and tie a ribbon around it. It's a nice, thoughtful gift that can be
truly valuable.
