Celebrate #NationalDogDay With Us
Happy National Dog Day! While we think every day is National Dog Day, today calls for extra celebration!
I think National Dog Day gives us pet parents an extra chance to spoil our furkids as we celebrate the unique bond and unconditional love they provide to us each and every day. Penny and I will be starting a new training adventure today (stay tuned), then she, Sophie and Teutul will all get lots of extra treats, playtime and cuddles!
How are you celebrating National Dog Day?
"National Dog Day celebrates all breeds, pure and mixed and serves to help galvanize the public to recognize the number of dogs that need to be rescued each year, either from public shelters, rescues and pure breed rescues. National Dog Day honors family dogs and dogs that work selflessly 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 the disabled, for our freedom and safety by detecting bombs and drugs and pulling victims of tragedy from wreckage." - National Dog Day websiteDid you know that National Dog Day...
- Was founded in 2004 by pet lifestyle expert Colleen Paige
- Is celebrated each year on August 26th - chosen because it's the date that Colleen's family adopted her first dog Sheltie
- Is against BSL and the banning of any dog breeds
- Encourages adoption first

Happy National Dog Day
Happy National Dog Day... let's get wordless!
On Monday I told you about the Incredible Leaping Doberman. Today I present, the mini-bug hunter. Penny loves to torment play with moths, ants, flies... and in these shots, what I believe was a baby grasshopper.
She played with the poor little guy for several minutes before leaving him to... hop away?

The BEST Day Ever!
Why is today THE best day ever, you ask? Well, because it's National Dog Day, of course!
National Dog Day was founded in 2004 by pet lifestyle expert Colleen Paige and is celebrated each year on August 26th. This day not only honors our family dogs and the working dogs who put our lives ahead of theirs on a daily basis, it also serves as a reminder to the public of the large number of dogs that need to be rescued each year.
Anyone who has ever loved a dog knows they love unconditionally and their loyalty is unwavering. Whether the family pet who is always by your side and wags his tail uncontrollably when you return home, or the working dog who is out their with law enforcement removing drugs from our streets, detecting bombs, or searching for victims in the middle of devastation, dogs put their lives on the line for us every single day. Today is a day of deep appreciation and admiration.
National Dog Day encourages "dog ownership of all breeds, mixed and pure - and embraces the opportunity for all dogs to live a happy, safe and abuse-free life." Additionally, the movement is against any kind of breed restriction legislation (BSL), and discourages people from purchasing dogs from pet stores, backyard breeders and puppy mills. Adopt, Don't Shop! There are millions of wonderful, loving dogs euthanized every year simply because they are unwanted. Please consider adopting on National Dog Day!
Three of the four Lapdogs are officially rescues (Zeus came from friends, and in a sense was a "rescue" as well when his original owners decided they couldn't keep him at just 7 weeks of age).
Aren't they just the happiest bunch ofmisfits "shelter dogs" you've ever seen (okay sure, I may be a little biased on this one)?
We hope you'll help us spread the word about National Dog Day today... and hug, scratch and show some love to every single dog you see today, and everyday!
