Our Grandma Faye had never had a pet her entire life until Bandit came into her life 7 years ago. Grandma Faye is one of those "neat freaks" who would always talk about Mom Paula's cats and all the "hair" that would get all over everything. Grandma Faye never understood the bond Mom Paula had with Sweet Praline and us until she adopted her own furchild. Grandma Faye has always used Swiffer® products to clean the dust in her house and now that Bandit is living with her, she appreciates the Swiffer products even more. In the years Bandit has lived with her, Grandma Faye now spends more time playing with Bandit and less time cleaning.

Bandit and Grandma Faye quickly developed a fur-ever friendship |
A few weeks ago, we told you about Swiffer® and Bark & Co. teaming up in a promotional campaign to help more children experience that special love through pet adoption and allowing parents more time to play than clean up pet-related messes. BarkBox and Swiffer are helping make sure cleaning concerns are never an obstacle when bringing your child's or a 70+ year old special lady's first pet.

@BarkBox and @Swiffer are teaming up to make sure cleaning concerns are never an obstacle when bringing your child's first pet home. Through December, new pup parents who adopt from partnering shelters will get a free Welcome Home kit packed with goodies and cleaning supplies. Because with any furry family member...#Shed Happens.

We were happy to share a Welcome Home Kit with Grandma Faye and Bandit to show them how happy we are that Grandma Faye has discovered the joys of being owned by a fur child and now worries less about the mess he can make. And believe us, he can make a big mess. We sent Mom Paula to our local rescue, Pawmetto Lifeline, to present a Welcome Home Kit for a future pet parent. Unfortunately, no one was adopting a dog during the time Mom Paula was there, but she was able to meet a very friendly dog, Joanie, who is waiting for her forever home. You can see Joanie beside Mom Paula as she presents the box to Elizabeth Childers from Pawmetto Lifeline for a future pet parent.
We know the value of children and pets growing up together. Mom Paula grew up with dogs the first 20 years of her life and cats the past 30+ years. We wish you could see the special bond that has developed between Grandma Faye and Bandit and think it's amazing because Grandma Faye never had a pet before. We hope many pets (both dogs and cats) will find their forever homes over the holiday and parents and children can enjoy their time with them because Swiffer realizes that #ShedHappens.
Well that looks all very Swiffer. I hope Lynettea never gets hold of one to get rid of my furs. I prefer them on my body.
ReplyDeleteMy human can't even imagine a whole lifetime without pets! Pets sort of run in her family.
