MEMORIALIZING Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim

appreciate the service, companionship, loyalty and happiness pets bring
to the lives of their owners; and

WHEREAS, Attendant to such concern, and in full accord with its
long-standing traditions, this Legislative Body is proud to memorialize
Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim Wednesday, February 20, 2023, as Love
Your Pet Day in the State of New York, in conjunction with the
observation of National Love Your Pet Day; and

WHEREAS, Many of the households in New York State have at least one
pet, whether it be dogs, cats, birds, fish, reptiles or rats; and

companionship, decrease depression, stress and anxiety, lower blood
pressure, improve immunity and decrease the risk of heart attack and
stroke; and

WHEREAS, While every day is a day to be enjoyed with your pet, Love
Your Pet Day is a day set aside to give your animal extra attention, to
pamper your pet and focus on the special relationship you have with
them; now, therefore, be it

RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
memorialize Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim February 20, 2023, as Love
Your Pet Day in the State of New York; and be it further

RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be
