Small, happy ways to celebrate a gotcha day
The day they came home deserves more than a reminder on your phone.
Retrace the first walk
Go back to the street, the park, or the shelter car park where it started. Take the same photo every year and you’ll have a little time-lapse of the two of you.
Make it a photo day
Gotcha days are perfect for the photo you’ll actually use: soft light, their eye level, their favourite toy just out of shot. Our photo guide has the details.
Mark it with something they’ll be part of
A new collar with their portrait tag for the year ahead, or a framed portrait by the door where they wait for you. The best keepsakes are the ones you use every day.
