I like this holiday. I know a lot of people who have a significant other don’t like this day :) I like to treat the one to something little and cute for this Day.

If you are along, please don’t be rough in this day and don’t be pathetic! As an idea you can buy cookies in the shape of a heart to your dog :) you will make him happy :)
