Everyone has heard of silly days like National Eat your Jell-O Day (7/12) and National Hot Fudge Sundae Day (7/25), but also in July are All
American Pet Photo Day (7/11), Pet Fire Safety Day (7/15), and National Mutt Day (7/31). Now, unless you are a
serious, die hard pet owner, you have never heard of these. And quite frankly, does anyone really care??,
except to just humor us?
Most of these days (and quite literally, there is a day for
just about anything!) are just for fun.
You can take LOTS of photos of all your pets on 7/11, but don’t you have
enough already? Can you ever really have enough photos of your pet?
And you can celebrate your mutt on 7/31. “Mutts” seem to outnumber purebred dogs lately,
especially if you throw in all the “designer” breeds out there now – Teddy Bears, Bugs, Doodles, Cockapoos, Puggles, Shepskies, Morkies, etc.
But a serious day is Pet Fire Safety Day. You don’t have to celebrate it, but you
should think about it just in case.
Would I be able to snatch up all my cats if a fire started? Where do they hang out? What about birds? They are really sensitive to smoke. If you let your dog out the door, would it
just run away?
Even if you have never heard of any of these days, we’re
sure you celebrate your pets every day… and we know everyone has thought of
what to do in case of a fire… just in case.
