August is National Dog Month
All during the month of August, National Dog Month celebrates our loveable canine pals smack in the middle of the dog days of summer. Dogs are the #1 most commonly owned pets on the planet, and with good reason. Did you know that scientific studies prove our pawsome companions make us happier, less stressed, and more optimistic? The list of benefits to spending time with a dog goes on and on, but it all proves one thing––that a month-long celebration of our furry best friends has been a long time coming.

Saturday Survey: Is Your Dog an Escape Artist?
If your dog has ever run away from home, you know how nerve-wracking it can be trying to find him or her.
My current dogs haven’t left the front yard since they left puppyhood, but I’ve had runners in the past. How about you?

I Love a Happy Ending!
From our friends at CNN: When Aisha Nieves lost her dog in Allentown, Pennsyvania, she was devastated. She did the usual things you do when you lose a dog, but had no luck finding Kovu.
Turns out he was taken to the Lehigh County Humane Society and adopted out to another family. Two years later, the family was forced to return the dog when they faced eviction due to the COVID pandemic.
Good thing Aisha had never given up on having a dog in her home. Scrolling through the humane society’s webpage, she found her beloved Kovu and was able to reunite with him!
Another good reminder to microchip your pets.
Until next time,
Good day. and good dog!
