Petey loves the lights – house-sitters beware!

Petey, like many of us and our pets, loves to celebrate. Nothing entertains or attracts Petey more than seeing spangly lights while on his daily stroll.

All of us enjoy a good light show, and the Christmas season brings them to you in abundance. Petey, what about him? He’s absolutely Besotted With the lights. In fact, he is so taken by the lights that if you give him a moment of freedom, he will run faster than you can shout “Feliz Nada” and begin prancing around them like a ballerina dog on opening night.

Beware house-sitters: Walking Petey requires both the vigilance and reflexes of an expert bomb disposal specialist (ironically). Shopping mall displays, garden decorations, that one house on the corner with the blinding illuminations – all are magnetic north to Petey’s compass. Hold on to the lead because Petey will take off at the first sight of a twinkling reindeer or a flashing tree. He will not stop if you call. He won’t be able to see obstacles. He just… You can also go to.
