EGG-stravaganza at Centinela Feed & Pet Supplies

Mark your calendars -- Thursday, March 28th and Monday, April 1st, if you go into a Centinela Feed and Pet Supplies, don a pair of rabbit ears and sit for your portrait, they will give you either a furry mouse for your cat or a cotton rope toy for your dog.  FREE!

Other Easter bargains for your animals include:
A Jolly Egg Dog Toy - 20%
Duck Jerky - 25% off   It is not a good idea to have bought a duckling for your kid for Easter; some confusion could ensue with your dog...
Fresh Cat Grass in a little pot - $1.99
Lamb Chop Dog Toy - $4.99
24 Carrot Catnip Toy - looks like a carrot, but is filled with catnip. 

And an offer you surely can't refuse - come in Saturday, March 30th, and join in an Easter  egg hunt around the store.  Each egg found will reward the hunter with a piece of candy - Donated and Supported By The American Dental Socity. 

In my lifetime, Easter was always presented (more or less) as a religious holiday.  I can understand how the custom of giving Easter baskets filled with candy, etc. came to be as an expression of joy and of sharing with others.

What I can't understand is dragging your pet into a (supposedly) religious celebration.

Granted many people refer to Fluffy or Fido as "my dog son" and dote on them.  This is all well and good, but I draw the line at pretending to an animal that an Easter-themed gift salutes their religion.   

As a side note to the Ladies - The 99 Cent Store is offering wide-brim straw or paper hats in vivid colors for 99 cents.   You could really create a custom hat with fake flower accessories.  In fact, you could have a Hat Party - decorations, a hat and some good chilled Pinot Grigio.
