We all know that our dogs require dog walking each day, so they can spend extra energy they have. Now, when it comes to polar and sled dogs like Siberian And Alaskan Husky, that’s 5 times more trouble. They are working dogs and they are breeded to pull sleds, so they will have a lot more energy to spend that any other dog breeds. On the video above you can see Alaskan Husky Exercise Wheel that is awesome idea for dog owners who are unable to get their dogs on long walks and runs.

In fact the surprise litter of 15 – double the average number – left mother Pebbles so exhausted that her human family had to be called in as puppysitters. Owner Kay Sullivan said: ‘We had to care for them for two days because Pebbles was not very well. She was very weak because they had taken all the energy out of her.

The 45-year-old mother-of-four, of Carmarthenshire, Wales, said her daughter Cerys had already started naming the pups, but coming up with ideas for all the five males and ten females was a struggle.  Cerys has chosen the name Patch for her favourite one and we have also called one Phantom of the Opera because one half of his face is black,’ she said.

She also admitted the new arrivals were stretching the family finances – so would have to be sold. Mrs Sullivan said: ‘We’re not breeders. They’re already costing us an arm and a leg to be honest.’The 1961 Disney animation, One Hundred And One Dalmatians, also features a litter of 15 pups. The Sullivans hope the parallels end there, however. In the story, of course, the litter has to be rescued after it is abducted by villain Cruella De Vil to make a fur coat.

Most gifts start with birthday cards, and if you want to go all out on a pet themed day, then customising cards is a great idea. Whilst in the past you had to stick with whatever the high street stores were selling there are now multiple companies that offer you the chance to custom your card by putting in your own pictures and text. You could create a card from your loved ones pet itself, or simply use a picture of the pampered pooch on the card to offer a great start to the day.

Other personalised gifts are great too, and a huge number of firms offer the ability to put pictures and images onto items. Cups, plates, rubbers and fridge magnets are all very popular and, if you’re baking a cake, you can even get edible images of your photos which you can put on top of the birthday cake to really give the wow factor. Photo books are also a great present for birthdays, and you can secretly collect a number of images of your loved ones pets, copy and print them, and then have them slipped into a beautiful book which can be enjoyed for many years to come. An alternative is to actually blow an image up and frame it as a picture to hang on the wall or sit on a cabinet.

Pet lovers generally love all animals too, and another great birthday present is to actually go on an excursion. A trip to the zoo can be a great day out and whilst many adults may only ever go with children, exploring the wonderful world of nature is a great trip for friends and parents too. You could even buy a specific package that many zoos offer, allowing your loved one to spend a day at falconry or helping keepers with their day-to-day rounds. Letting go and having fun is the ultimate way to spend a birthday and if you’re at the zoo you can quite literally monkey around.

Pet lovers are very easy to buy gifts for because as long as you keep their favourite family member in mind you can’t go far wrong. Customising mugs, accessories, birthday cards and even food is a great way to indulge your friends and family on their special day. And if you want to give them a day to remember, an additional pet and animal themed excursion will allow everyone to have fun

London has no shortage of parks, and whether you want to go wildlife spotting or indulge in a day out with your dog, there are plenty of spots to visit. Hyde Park and the neighbouring smaller Green Park are great inner city green spaces to visit, with you able to enjoy the urban park scene with boating, walking, cycling and even rollerblading with your dog. Another fantastic park on the outskirts of London is Richmond Park. This huge area is famed for being home to red deer and is a great location if you want to watch wildlife; you may even catch glimpse of ring necked parakeets in this area. Hampstead Heath in the North of London meanwhile is the ideal place to go if you’re walking the dog and is a popular place for spending the entire day with your canine friend.

If you’re heading to Regent’s Park then you shouldn’t miss an opportunity to visit London Zoo. Whilst the zoo doesn’t have many of the larger animals such as elephants or bears, is does offer a fantastic range of creatures to visit. A reptile and amphibian house is a great way to see smaller creatures, whilst a pop-up butterfly house in the warmer months of the years allows you to get very close to nature. Meanwhile, with some popular favourites to be seen you’ll enjoy a day out with monkeys, penguins and even gorillas.

If you’re seeking marine and underwater life then there is no better place to head to than Southbank. Whilst you may not think it this popular tourist area actually houses London Aquarium. A huge centre tank holds shoals of fish, sharks and even a green sea turtle, whilst a seahorse exhibit provides the chance to discover a range of species of this loved fish. And with rainforest exhibits and even a mock-up of London’s Thames, you can explore species from tropical regions to London itself.

There are also many city farms in London, which are great to explore with children when you have a weekend free. The Children’s Zoo at Battersea Park is one of the best, with lemurs and meerkat’s popular additions to the normal pigs, chickens, goats and sheep. Hackney City Farm, Mudchute Park and Farm, Hounslow Urban Farm and Surrey Docks Farm are also all great excursions if you’re an animal lover.

Though London may seem a little unnatural, as soon as you scratch the surface you’ll find that there are a huge number of open spaces and animal friendly places to visit. And whilst the buzz of city life goes on around you, you’ll be able to indulge in time out with some of the world’s most loved animals.
