The month of August is Pet Appreciation Month on KCRA TV.  You can upload photos of your pet and describe what's special about him or her to uLocal.com. 

So, how will you demonstrate to your pet that (s)he is appreciated?  In the words of Elizabeth Barrett Browning, "How do I love thee? Let me count the ways."  

And please let it be not just this month but every day of the year that pets are appreciated.
