National Dog Day? Lilly was sort of amazed at the idea. "You mean its like Christmas," she wanted to know. "Can we do whatever we want," Bailey asked as she eyed the breakfast fixings on the kitchen counter. "Why, momma? Do we have to DO something special?" Opal was not looking convinced.
"Come over and let's look it up," I told her and began a computer search. The search revealed: "The day began for all so that dog-lovers would spend time with their dogs and enjoy their company. Here are some of the other reasons for the day:
- To create awareness of dogs that requires rescuing.
- To acknowledge the purpose that dogs play in our lives, comforting, protecting and saving our lives.
- To address the challenges that dog from the world face, from human being abusing them to being homeless...."
"OK, I can buy into that," Zsofia spoke for the White Dog Army. "So, how are WE going to celebrate?" "Dad and momma already spend LOTS of time with us," Diva said. "And we do get treats."
"Most of us are rescued and we are advocates for challenged dogs already," Roman weighed in. "It is kind of like EVERY day is a special dog day in this house."
"Heck, why are we overthinking this? Let's just celebrate love. How does a chicken and spinach white pizza with side orders of zucchini cakes and calamari for dinner," I suggested. "And maybe a good episode of Animal Planet?"
"Can we get spumoni, too?" Steve wanted to know. "It is already on the list,: Bai looking over my shoulder told him.
