Are you ready for Multiple Pet Mania? You better gather your pets and prepare for the month of June so you don’t miss out! My GBGV Life is teaming up with our friends at Cascadian Nomads and Wag n’ Woof Pets for a fun month of blogging, contests, and giveaways!
I’m no poet, but I came up with this little number to help everyone get their creative writing juices flowing, and no, we are not asking for poems, this just popped into my mind one day:
Do you have cats and dogs,
or rats and frogs?
Maybe one of your habits
is collecting wabbits?
Do you play gigs
with your pot belly pigs?
Some find a collection of mice
rather nice.
There’s always one, of course,
who has to have a horse!
No matter what your pet,
you better get set.
The time is coming soon,
Multiple Pet Mania begins in June!
Grab the badge! Place it in your sidebar, add it to your posts! Show the world you are participating! What is Multiple Pet Mania Month all about? This will be a fun month for readers, followers, and bloggers! All you need is more than one pet to join in the fun. If you don’t have a pet, or only have one, you will enjoy reading tips and stories about life with multiple pets.
We will be holding a month long blog hop, with one giveaway each week (held Tuesdays through Mondays) of prizes to help make life in a multiple pet family easier, and more fun. Each week will have a theme as you can see in the calendar, but you are welcome to post on any multiple pet mania topic you like. You may enter as many posts as you like into the blog hop, as we want everyone to be able to enjoy an entire month of informational posts about life with multiple pets! When posting, commenting or sharing, use the #MultiPetMania hashtag so everyone joining in Multiple Pet Mania can easily follow along.

sounds like fun!
You can join, you have a cat and a dog!
Wowee what a lot of fun going on. Will have to get started on it. Will be fun to follow along.
I’m sure your gang will have some good post ideas!
looks like it will be a great month
We sure hope so!
This looks like a blast. I love seeing how people manage multiple pets and I always learn something new when I read about it. Like the simple idea of leaving some pets home while doing activities with others.
When I had two dogs, I assumed we had to do everything together. But separating them and doing different activities probably would have been a good idea.
Separate activities is really hard for Mom, but she has gotten in the habit and has seen how really beneficial it is. With the three of us and our age spread, she was kind of forced to.
Sounds like a lot of fun!
A month long fun party!
Do New York City Rats count?
Well, do you consider them to be pets???
Emma — how did you EVER get a family shot? Both cat siblings agreed to be in the photo?? Wow!!
Great idea for the month. We are a multiple pet family!!
your doodle friend Dash
Yay! It will be so fun. You know we three dogs are pretty easy, Bert knows stay just like a dog, so he is easy, but Sophie doesn’t like dogs, or Bert, so she was tough but we got it done. Mom had to chase down Sophie about 10 times but in the end it worked.
We are here. Mom said 2 Frenchies are like 4. The nerve
Snorts,
Lily & Edward
Well, two or four is more than one, so you can join 🙂
I’m currently wrestling with single pet mania with Penny, but she should be well run and well rested before June 1 so we’ll be ready to enjoy what looks to be an awesome month.
Some single pets are like trying to wrangle in a herd…like Bailie, but Eko and Penny make a good team. Penny can’t help her enthusiasm for life 🙂
I just read about this over on Wag N Woof Pets. I am excited to take part for the whole month of June!!! This will be fun!!!
ღ husky hugz ღ frum our pack at Love is being owned by a husky!
It should be a good time and your pups will fit right in!
Sounds like lots of fun…we’ll have to plan on joining!
It will be fun, and I’m sure the food and fitness weeks will work out well for Jack and Maggie!
You are awesome, Emma, I love the poem! And I am SO impressed that you got a group photo like that…I didn’t even try, because I would have run out of patience for sure!
Thanks. Mom was pretty tired after having to hunt down Sophie about ten times. The rest of us are good with photos, Bert even knows stay pretty well, but Sophie doesn’t want any part of our fun usually!
Sounds like a very fun event! I bet their will be some good stories!
We are hoping for good stories and good tips!
I can’t wait to read more about living with more than one pet… I wish I had a buddy… but my mom says she is not strong enough for two guys like me :o)
I can box up my cat bro Bert, he is like a dog in a cats body. My mom wouldn’t mind if he moved out 😉
Sounds like a month of fun. We are pretty sure Mama could learn a thing or two!
Smileys!
Dory, Jakey, Arty & Bilbo
I bet you all could contribute some fun and useful stuff too!
I’m impressed with your mom getting everyone to sit and pose together. The only way for me to get everyone in one picture would be to photoshop it, LOL!
I’m often asked if Mom is a photoshop wiz, but she never does photoshopping except to add text, crop or fix color/lighting 😉
Brilliant idea!

I bet you and Ethel have some advice!
I love the poem Emma! The only five-in-one shots I have gotten are when Amelia is on a leash. Gryphon was good at stay… maybe running away from cameras is a girl cat thing. Perhaps the next time you are inspired to write a poem, Emma, it could be something that nicely explains to girl cats how fun being a model can be!
Sophie is so beautiful, but she loves to keep to herself, it is a bummer. Mom was tired out after chasing Sophie down about ten times before we got the photo!
Oh Emma! You have such fun ideas. My Mommie says that I count for THREE dogs! probably because I am so much fun! But anyway, I have a sister dog named “Twinkie” because she’s so clever. She’s 12 years old and she loves me so much that when I make her play with me (I do that a lot because I’m so much fun!) she always bites my head!! I’m going to win all the prizes and my Mommie thinks there should be a spa vacation for her, but I’m nort sure that it’s a good idea…

Hope to get some fun entries from you and your family!
Well, of course, Emma! You know I’m so much fun!!!
Took the survey – now I’ve got to think of some content! I think this is going to be a lot of fun to follow.
We hope to get lots of great posts from multi-maniacs! Start doodling!
Wow, this sounds like fun!
As you can see from my family photo, cats are allowed 😉 Actually, any pets qualify. Hope you can join!
Woo Hoo! We have two!
You guys are in like Flynn!
We have a few multiples here too!
You sure do! Hope to see you participate!
We has 5 total here!
Just like us! Five is a nice number!
Sounds like fun.
We think it will be a lot of fun. Lots of interesting stuff.
I have 3 pets! We will watch for these posts and giveaways!
Get ready for June 1 when the blog hop and photo contest start, and the first giveaway will start June 2.
I will be watching for it!
Of course we’ll participate now that we are a multi-pet house! Mom would love to be more of a part of it but hey she’s just glad she’s got some posts ideas for next month! Love Dolly
I’m sure you all have some good stories all coming together as adults.
Guess I better get busy and find a little brother or sister for Sam! We’ve been thinking about it anyway. 😉
Now this would be the ideal reason to add some little paws to the family!
I saw this the other day but never had a chance to comment. Looks cool and should be fun!
Hope you join in with your collection of furs!
This sounds like it will be fun!
We sure hope it will be a lot of fun.
Looking forward to reading about everyone’s pets!
It should be a lot of fun!
