14 ways dogs celebrate National Dog Day
TweetHappy National Dog Day
It’s National Dog Day, a day, according to Colleen Paige, “to celebrate dogs for their capacity to love and their ability to impact our lives everyday in the most miraculous ways.”
In honor of this day, we’ll be donating dog food to our local shelter, to help other dogs find a fur-ever home (article to come!)
As for our dogs, Lilah, Jasper and Tucker have been planning all sorts of activities to celebrate National Dog Day. I asked them to help me make a list of suggestions for other dogs who want to celebrate their canine heritage.
Here’s their list:
1) Sleep in.
“What? No breakfast in bed?”
2) Go for walk…
“Can we stop at my favorite fire hydrant?”
3) …or a run.
“Next time, I’ll bring my iPod.”
4) Be a couch potato.
“It’s nice to put my feet up and relax.”
5) Watch something on the high-def 3D TV.
“Should we watch Mad Wren or Breaking Birdfeeders?”
6) Hang out with pals.
“Did you see the tail on that squirrel over there?”
7) Play some pool.
“8 ball in the corner pocket. Wait a minute; where are the corners?”
8) Put on some rock and roll.
“My favorite? Joan Jett’s I Love Rock ‘n’ Roll.”
9) Have friends over for dinner.
“I just want to know; did he bring the beer?”
10) …and in the spirit of the holiday, invite that one friend who wouldn’t normally celebrate.
“She’s a little weird, but it’s the Dog thing to do.”
11) Take a nap.
“Wake me up when the party gets started.”
12) Go out drinking.
“I told you we didn’t need a keg.”
13) Stay up late.
“I’m gonna party ’til dawn.”
14) Have a ball!
Wishing you the best National Dog Day ever!
