Happy National Dog Day!

Relaxing on National Dog Day

Hi Everyone! Francesca and I are pleased to hear that today is National Dog Day. Of course there is a day for us. Dogs are the oldest domesticated animal. We've been people's best friend, like, forever. We have a special connection with people that makes us successful as pets, as working animals and as protectors.

Francesca and I are both rescue dogs. I am from Santa Fe, NM and Francesca is from McMinville, Oregon. We are very different yet we have a strong bond with our owner. We keep her on her toes. She never misses a feeding time and mows the lawn for us so we can roll and relax in our backyard.

We'll be celebrating today. We wish ALL DOGS a Happy National Dog Day!

Love, Cinnamon, the Coonhound

Happy National Dog Day

What a day it is! I am celebrating by relaxing WITHOUT FRANCESCA! She is celebrating by whooping it up with the dogs at day care. Make sure you do something special today to celebrate.

National Dog Day is celebrated August 26th annually and was founded in 2004 by Pet & Family Lifestyle Expert and Animal Advocate, Colleen Paige (also the founder of National Puppy Day, National Mutt Day and National Cat Day ...to name a few).

National Dog Day serves to help galvanize the public to recognize the number of dogs that need to be rescued each year, and acknowledges family dogs and dogs that work selflessly each day to save lives, keep us safe and bring comfort. Dogs put their lives on the line every day - for their law enforcement partner, for their blind companion, for a child who is disabled, for our freedom and safety by detecting bombs and drugs and pulling victims of tragedy from wreckage.

Let's celebrate!

How I Celebrated National Dog Day

This turned out to be a pretty good day after all. I was really worried when my owner left us and took off for the Suquamish Museum. But she didn't stay all that long and came back to play with us and let us out in the pasture.

So how did we celebrate? Remi, Indy and I got to go chase rabbits in the pasture, that's how! I, of course, took the lead and scared two rabbits! Wow!

After that we gathered on the patio at the patio table for special treats. They were from Trader Joe's so you know they were healthy treats. Since they were something different, I was really excited! We each got one.

Hooray for National Dog Day!

Then when dinner time came we each got a scoop of cottage cheese on top of our kibble. That was a REAL TREAT! I loved it!

After that, we got to stay up late and play in the back yard. We had a pretty good time on National Dog Day. All three of us are adopted and all three of us are celebrating that.

Love, Cinnamon
