FEBRUARY 20TH IS LOVE YOUR PET DAY!

HEY GUYS! 🐾  

Today is "Love Your Pet Day"..... yeah!!! To celebrate, my Mom says that you should go out and get your furry friend, a new toy, or special treat, or just stop what you are doing and spend some time playing with them! When my Mom listens to music and she hears one of her crazy favorite songs, she sings and dances with us! I bet she'll do that today, not to mention maybe a special treat? Get the hint...Mom! Anyways my Mom wrote this poem in honor of this wonderful day for me and Ciena. 

DOGGIE PLAY TIME

My love for my dogs is beyond measure,

For you see these two are truly my treasure.

They love and comfort me day in and day out,

I would be lost without them for there is no doubt.

Their crazy ways make me grin,

It’s time for fun when their antics begin.

Bring on the music they seem to say,

For you know it’s time for all of us to play.

They love to dance with me as they wiggle their butts,

I am grateful that these two silly dogs are really my mutts!

And sometimes we roll around and wrestle on the floor,

Now who could ask for anything more.

And when we are tired and when we stop,

It’s only because we are ready to drop.

I cherish each moment when we have time to play,

For such fun as this should happen every day.

You see each day is a blessing from above,

For my dogs lift my spirits every day with their love. 

So have a great day with those who love you and remember till next time, it's paws up and high five!

August 26 - NATIONAL DOG DAY - IT'S ALL IN A STORY!

HEY GUYS!🐾

             Today is National Dog Day! Here is a great article that my mom wrote for her community newspaper in our honor for today. I hope that you like it, cause me and Ciena do!

As a pet parent of two beloved dogs, I am writing this month about National Dog Day, which is celebrated on August 26, each year. This special day was created by the National Dog Day Foundation to celebrate our canine companions, and to rescue dogs from abuse and homelessness. President George W. Bush, a dog owner himself, sent a letter to the foundation in support of National Dog Day and its goals. The foundation’s motto is, "Saving 10,000 Dogs - One Day at a Time".

Not only do our dogs provide us with love and companionship, but they also play an important role as service and/or therapy dogs. Trained dogs guide and assist people who have visual and hearing impairments. They aid physically disabled individuals who have mobility issues. Some dogs are trained to be medical response dogs for those with serious health conditions, such as epilepsy, diabetes or heart arrhythmias. Further, research studies prove that dogs can provide invaluable emotional support and companionship for children with autism, actually helping them with social interactions and relationships. Other dogs are be trained for life-saving search-and-rescue work, or for detection of bombs, firearms, or drugs.

Our pets here in our community may not be service or therapy dogs, but I believe that they are an important part our life. Dogs improve our mental health by reducing our stress when we stroke them and play with them; they keep us fit when we go for walks; and they provide us with a sense of security. Dogs are not judgmental-- they love us unconditionally. Their crazy antics can make us laugh and raise our spirits. I chuckle when I think of my two large dogs taking over our bed forcing us to sleep on the edge all night. I wouldn’t trade them for the world, for they bring joy to my life.

I wish all dogs could have a forever-home where they are safe and loved-- no dog should ever be homeless or abused. Let’s celebrate our loving, faithful companions on this special holiday. Let’s hope that others will be inspired to open our hearts and homes to help an abandoned dog, for so many are in need.

May is National Pet Month!

HEY GUYS!🐾

Long time no write to! You see I have been busy sleeping, eating and playing with my sister, Ciena, I like to chase her around a lot ha ha!. Oh...….what a dog's life!!!  I wanted to let you know that May is NATIONAL PET MONTH, yeah! It is a month to celebrate the wonderful benefits that we bring to your lives and vice versa. The goal of NATIONAL PET MONTH is to support pet adoption, promote all the benefits of pet ownership and to let you know about all the great service professionals that work with us like all the rescue groups, veterinarians, groomers and many others!!! But most importantly it is a month to recognize the value and contributions that we make to society as hard working companion animals! I think that the love for all of us pets, whether we are dogs, cats, or whatever should be celebrated year round!

I truly love my sister, Ciena!

Till next time, it's paws up and high five!

 Happy National Pet Month

April 22, 2019 - Earth Day

Hey Guys!🐾

Happy Earth Day🌎!! This event was first celebrated on this day in 1970. At that time, my mom was a young "pup" in high school. She said that she remembers that day like yesterday! The weather was perfect for that April day for it was warm and sunny. She said that the whole school walked out after lunch and sat on the football field to show their support for Earth Day! (P.S. no one got in trouble for this either!) Here is a little background information regarding Earth Day that mom found on the Wikipedia Website:

"Earth Day is an annual event celebrated on April 22. First celebrated in 1970, Earth Day now includes events in more than 193 countries. Worldwide, various events are held to demonstrate support for environmental protection.The first Earth Day celebrations took place in two thousand colleges and universities, roughly ten thousand primary and secondary schools, and hundreds of communities across the United States. More importantly, it "brought 20 million Americans out into the spring sunshine
for peaceful demonstrations in favor of environmental reform."

Mom may be an old "pup" now, but she says that she will always fondly remember that day! Sometimes I think that she wishes she could go back to that time period for look how she dressed us up!!!! Gotta have that hippie look going with the beads...…..just missing the jackets and/or vests with the fringe and the head bands, LOL!

Till next time, it's paws up and high five!!!

IRISH BLESSING

Hey Guys!🐾

We wanted to tell you that even though we are not Irish by bloodline, we are Irish in our hearts. So mom helped us write this blog cause we (mom & dad too) really like this traditional Gaelic blessing:

May The Road
Rise Up To Meet You

May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face;
the rains fall soft upon your fields
and until we meet again,
may God hold you in the palm of His hand.

HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY

Till next time it's paws up and high five!!
