National Make a Dog’s Day
Mom, today is National Make a Dog’s Day! Does that mean I get extra ice cream tonight?
Snowball was not adopted at a shelter but once we saw him at the breeder we fell in love with him. Lia was about 2 1/2 and as soon as their eyes met this 8 week old puppy became a member of our family.
Even though Snowball was a family dog, Lia always said he was her dog. Whether playing, sleeping, dancing or just riding in the car, the two were always together.
As soon as Lia got Snowball used to the ocean, he was hooked on the water. Even walking around the block, Snowball is excited to be out running with Lia. A good way for both to get exercise!
Since Lia moved to Indiana Snowball is back to being my dog until Lia visits. He is the sweetest little guy and even knows when someone is having a bad day. He comes up and cuddles with Lia or me. They say a dog is a man’s best friend, well Snowball is Lia’s and my best friend.
It might be National Make a Dog’s Day but Snowball makes my day. he is the most loyal and lovable dog!
National Nut Day
Since it’s also National Nut Day and I mentioned about my Nutty Bar in a blog the other day with my Chai Tea drinks, I thought I would share my blog I wrote back in April about my Nutty Bar for those who might have missed it!
When company comes over they have the choice of ice cream sundaes, milk shakes, frappes, hot cocoa or tea and so much more. The only thing I don’t serve is coffee so I tell people the have to bring their own. LOL The cabinet is loaded with all kinds of sprinkles, syrups, nuts and even biscotti biscuits!
I hope you enjoyed about National Make a Dog’s Day and National Nut Day! I think today is the perfect day for Snowball and I to have ice cream tonight!
Snowball knowing when someone is having a bad day is the sweetest thing. It sounds like he and Lia were a perfect match from day one. Since you don’t serve coffee at the Nutty Bar, I’ll bring my own. You already know I take it black.
It’s amazing how animals can “read” our emotions Paul. The day Rich passed away, Lia picked up Snowball and went outside and just sat hugging Snowball for about 20 minutes and he didn’t even move. I remember you drink coffee so if in my area I can run to Starbucks and get a cup of black coffee for you while I have be Chai tea frappe!
Happy National Dog Day to Snowball. I love these sweet pictures of Snowball and Lia together. It’s so cool that they “grew up” together.
Thanks Barbara, yes it was love at first sight for both Lia and Snowball. He is the most compassionate little companion.
Happy Make a Dog’s Day and Nut Day to you! I didn’t know about them, so thanks for the reminder, Martha. These photos of Lia and Snowball are adorable, and your cartoon self is so cute! BTW, you’re making me hungry with those nuts.
I love following the National Days Danwil and this was a double treat! I always have my nut jars filled and cashews are my favorite! I’ve even made cashew butter from them.
Martha, I’m always amazed at how you keep track of all these National This and National That Days, and actually celebrate them! Snowball certainly doesn’t need a special day to be spoiled, but I’m sure he won’t turn down some extra ice cream! I love the photos of him and Lia growing up together. And combining Dog Day with Nut Day sounds like the perfect excuse for a trip to your Nutty Bar!
I’m always checking what National Day it is Tamara and today it was a double treat! Lia and Snowball love each other so much and even now only having her visit a few times a year, he gets so excited when she gets here. As for the nuts, you could say I’m nutty about nuts, especially cashews!
