August has arrived!

 It has been Hot! Hot! Hot!

AND we are now heading into the EIGHTH Month! - AUGUST

 

  

 

There are 2 month long events

National Immunization Awareness 

 

August is National Immunization Awareness Month, a perfect time to highlight the critical role vaccines play in protecting your pets’ health. Just like in humans, vaccinations are essential for preventing a range of infectious diseases in animals, ensuring they lead long, healthy lives.

And 

August is National Dog Month! 

 

Dogs are the #1 most commonly owned pets on the planet, and with good reason. Did you know that scientific studies prove our pawsome companions make us happier, less stressed, and more optimistic? The list of benefits to spending time with a dog goes on and on, but it all proves one thing––that a month-long celebration of our furry best friends has been a long time coming. 

And August 1 is DOGust! 

 

The Universal Pet Birthday! 

Dogust 1st is the universal birthday for shelter and rescue dogs whose exact birth dates are unknown. It was created by North Shore Animal League America to give rescue pets a special day to celebrate and to help raise adoption awareness.

Why DOGust Exists

Unknown Past: Many rescue dogs come without papers, history, or birth records.
Shared Joy: August 1st gives every shelter pup a real day to get extra love, treats, and toys.
How People Celebrate
Special Treats: Bake or buy a dog-safe cake or special snacks.
Donate and Support: Give food, toys, or money to local animal shelters.
Adopt: Visit a rescue group to find a new furry best friend. 

 

Kitchen Update  

Today is Saturday and it is a long weekend here! We all have our claws crossed!
the #1 Reason is that Mom and Dean have mostly finished the Kitchen! 

 

New Kitchen

 

THis means that all the "stuff" that used to reside in the cupboards and on the counter can now be taken out of where they are in the rest of the house. 

 

Mom's Office/Kitchen

The coffee maker will no longer be in the bathroom, 

Bathroom/Kitchen
 

 the boxes of dishes, utensils and food will not be scattered throughout the living room

 

Dish Boxes, at front door
 

Now we get to put it all away and we will be able to vacuum up the dust/dog hair bunnies (some of them are as big as me - Marv) 

July 31 is National Mutt Day!

 

Mom had a malfunction yesterday! Tigris (From the River Cats, formerly Lee & Phod) was pulled out of the jar!

AND

You missed Me, Marv, doing the pulling!

 

AND the Name that we pulled!

 

 Kten is the post name for the LADY at their blog and we sent them an email as to which one (Styx, Tigis or Lani would be in the Royal Pawtrait!

 

Today is Mutt Day and we are including a portrait of OUR PURRSONAL Mutt!

 

 Happy Mutt Day to Everyone!
