Parents often cherish capturing their infants’ first experiences—whether it’s their first bath, their first words, or their first bike ride. Interestingly, pet owners share the same enthusiasm when it comes to celebrating the milestones of their furry, feathery, scaly, and fluffy friends.
From a dog’s first swim to a cat’s first interaction with a toy, every new adventure or achievement is worth commemorating. Whether it’s a human or a beloved pet, these moments are filled with joy and deserve to be remembered.
