Happy Mondo Missy Monday!
And Happy National Dog Day! As you all know, most of this month has been christened "DOGust" instead of August in celebration of our furry canine friends. So to further that sentiment, today we celebrate National Dog Day.
Okay. So, what is National Dog Day?
According to Shutterfly.com, National Dog Day is:
The national holiday Dogs Day first occurred in 2004 after it was started by an animal behaviorist to honor man’s best friend. It also serves as a great opportunity to highlight adoptable dogs and rescue services. The holiday is also known as National Dog Day, Dog Appreciation Day, World’s Dog Day, and International Dog Day.

Cool. So, what are some ways we can celebrate National Dog Day?
You can celebrate in any way that allows you to spend quality time with your pup and allows them to feel pampered and loved.
1. Take your dog to the park and let them have some hours of play. Letting your pooch burn off some steam is a great way for them to get some exercise and allows you to get some too! Go ahead and break out the frisbee or ball and get in some play time!
2. Spend some quality quiet time with your dog. If you have a dog that likes to lounge on the couch with you while you watch TV, today (or tonight) would be a great time to take in a good movie with some cuddly company.
3. Provide them with some tasty "Scooby" snacks. Does your dog have a favorite treat? Why not treat him to some dog biscuits or his favorite dog food or snacks? It's his day, after all!
4. Find fun ways to keep your pet cool. Since it's still summer, there's still time for fun water activities with Fido. If you have a pool, you can make it a family affair and have some swimming adventures. For those of you who may want to take it on the road, you can make it extra fun with a road trip to the beach.
PS: I was going to do more ideas, but I've just gotten back from a mini vacation, and let's just say I need a vacation from that vacation! So, since my brain isn't cooperating with me very well right now, I'm just going to leave it at four.
What are some other ways you can think of to celebrate this special day?
That's it for now, my Missians. I'll see you all back here on Friday for our, "National Holistic Pet Day/What's Coming Up in September for Missy Show" post, (yes, there have been some slight changes with our last two posts of the month, but I'll explain those on Friday).
Until then,
