Good Pets: A Spring Fling

The popular feature is back, and we’re just getting started.

By Doug Segrest | May 27, 2024

Spring has sprung. Enjoy it while you can because summer is on the horizon.

We’ll take it and love it all: warm temperatures, sunny skies and pop-up showers. And, per our annual tradition, a treasure trove of Good Pets goodness.

The best news of all? One of Doing More Today’s most popular features is back. Once again, we asked for submissions and our readers responded in record numbers. In fact, there are so many great photos that we are going to have multiple editions.

So, stay tuned.

This year, we’ve got photos of Good Pets from Maine to Utah and from Florida to Texas. America, it seems, is covered with four-legged stars. And our readers have provided us with photos that will set your heart aflutter, bring a smile and a deep sigh of contentment.

Don’t believe us? Take five minutes to stroll through the photos. You’ll thank us. And so will your blood pressure because this is better than meditation.

So, let’s get started.
