National Puppy Day: Dog Song Saturday

Saturday?  Time for a dog song at Talking Dogs!  

Today we're celebrating National Puppy Day with a fun music video of all kinds of sweet puppies and the Harry Nilsson Puppy Song, sung by Astrud Gilberto.

March 23, 2013 marks the 8th anniversary of National Puppy Day which was founded by Pet Lifestyle Expert, Colleen Paige.  Colleen is an animal rights advocate and runs the Animal Miracle Network.  National Puppy Day was established to promote adoptions from animal shelters, humane societies and rescue groups, as opposed to buying from pet stores.

National Puppy Day is also a day to simply celebrate the joy of puppies.  Join us on our Facebook page and post a photo of your special puppy!

First, though... grab a puppy to snuggle!  Sit.  Stay.  Relax and enjoy the Puppy Song.

Fetch more dog song music videos at Talking Dogs.  We celebrate puppies, and the dogs they grow up to be, every day!



Be sure to take some time to explore some barking good blogs in the Pet Blogger Hop!

National Mutt Day is December 2

Now here's a holiday I can really appreciate!  

Today is National Mutt Day!

National Mutt Day is a day to celebrate the many wonderful attributes of mixed breed dogs and facilitate their adoption from shelters.  It was created by pet lifestyle expert and animal welfare advocate, Colleen Paige and sponsored by the Animal Miracle Foundation. 

At Talking Dogs, we'll be celebrating with our mutt, Jeffie.  He's a Golden Retriever and Border Collie mixed breed dog we adopted from Dogwood Animal Shelter.

Here are just a few suggestions for your celebration of National Mutt Day:

• Adopt a Mutt from your local shelter or rescue organization.  
• Volunteer at your local shelter - walk or play with some mutts.
• Have a National Mutt Day party and invite all your friends and their dogs.
• Join the National Mutt Day Facebook page and post photos of your Mutt.
• Spend some quality time with your mutt - take a walk, play with a new toy, try some new dog treats.
• Fetch www.NationalMuttDay.com for more ideas

Love your Mutt!
