Hi my Pals, I hope you all had a nice weekend. Thanks to my sweet Remington Remington and his most excellent medical advice, I nursed her back to health. Mommy says thank you very much for all of your nice wishes. We are taking it a little slow and will be around to visit all my Pals very soon. Thank you for the love!
I just have to tell you about a special day coming up for us doggies. We have a day just for us!!! I am so excited. I think it is so important to especially honor all the service dogs and rescue dogs that do so much to help others and make us all proud to be dogs. So lets all celebrate the joy of being dogs together.
National Dog Day
An Animal Welfare Holiday to Adopt and Honor Pets
Some go into law enforcement. Some go into medicine. But
they all appreciate a good belly rub. Whether they're saving lives or
simply enriching them, rescue dogs, police dogs, therapy dogs and family
dogs are selflessly devoted to making the world and their homes a
better place. But with four million adoptable animals put down every
year, many dogs never get the chance to put their big hearts to use.
August 26 is National Dog Day, a holiday to celebrate dogs and all
that they do for us, and to welcome those in need into our lives through
animal rescue.
National Dog Day founder Colleen Paige was inspired to create the
holiday after looking a coffee table book that depicted the horrors and
triumphs of 9/11 without a single mention of the hundreds of rescue dogs
who put their lives on the line at Ground Zero to help the emergency
crews.
"The lack of attention for what these dogs endured and accomplished
made me weep," said Paige. "It also made me realize all that they do,
unconditionally, and how so many are abused and abandoned. I felt that
they needed a day of recognition, a day for us to say "thank you" for
saving our lives, lowering our blood pressure, guiding our blind,
protecting our streets, our homes and our families, and to show our
appreciation by helping to celebrate them and save lives in return."
With the support of the Animal Miracle Network, National Dog Day has
grown annually with events expanding as far as Puerto Rico, England and
Italy. Affiliates are welcomed to host their own National Dog Day events
ranging from dog shows, walkathons and photo contests to picnics,
adoption drives and fairs.
If you're already a proud pet owner, take some time on National Dog
Day to show your dog how much you appreciate him. Paige¡¦s recommended
holiday activities include having a picnic at a dog park, inviting the
neighborhood dogs over for a pool party, coordinating a costume parade
on your street, taking your dog shopping to pick out a new toy and
planning a pet-friendly getaway.
If you're looking to give a homeless dog a loving home, visit
www.adoptapet.com to meet your new best friend. With pet adoption,
you'll find that National Dog Day will be the first of countless great
ones to come.
