August is So Much Fun!

 Furst - my hairy slobbery sisfurs are celebrities! 

YES! Ms Ann and June are having Friends as a special event for the month of August and loads of the CB blogging pets will be appearing on June's Blog! Cinnamon and Nutmeg are appearing today! 

Both of these ladies add SPICE to our life here at Casa De Marvelous and I am so happy to share them with you!

Now on to our regular beginning of August post!

 As you know, we here at Casa De Marvelous have taken over from the wonderful Ann (at Zoolatry) and Boy Oh Boy is August is a busy Month! We made 12 badges! To see them ALL you can get them at the Catblogosphere or here on the August page. Now that sounds like a lot, but today we are posting the Events Calendar:

 

 

This month is Pet Immunization Awareness Month. 

Like humans, us pets need to get vaccinated against life-threatening illnesses for an extra layer of protection. Vaccines are a preventative method to avoid illnesses like Rabies, Parvovirus, and Panleukopenia. Think of it like a flu shot! Regular vaccinations are crucial to us pet’s annual care as illnesses can spread very easily. By immunizing your cat or dog, you can give them the best opportunity to live a safe, healthy life.

August is called the "Dog Days of Summer" - The term “Dog Days” traditionally refers to a period of particularly hot and humid weather occurring during the summer months of July and August in the Northern Hemisphere.  This period of hot weather coincides with the rising of Sirius, the Dog Star. Sirius is part of the constellation Canis Majoris—the “Greater Dog”. So we celebrate it with National Dog Month!

And besides celebrating OUR Dogs, Cinnamon and Nutmeg, Today, August 1 is DOGust! The universal birthday for shelter dogs!

We hope you guys are having a great summer! We are! (even if its the Dog Days!)
