Here we are, alreading in the month of August.  Good morning or afternoon depending on when you are reading this, Dot & Jerry Underfoot here.  Did you nose August is National Dog Month (often purrfectly referred to “Dogust”)?

A month long celebration of honouring canines, pawmote adoption, & encourage responsible care.  Dogust, interestedly is also at the peak “dog days of summer”.  You can read Olivia’s meowsome post Dog Days of Summer? What? to learn more.

It’s a month dedicated to our canine furiends, recognizing the joy, companionship, & pawsitive impact they bring to our lives. We  miss our Olivia & Eddy so much but each day we take time to honor & rejoice in our love for them.

 

 

This month is a time to celebrate & shower your good dog with attention, treats, extra loving or a new toy, pawhaps a Knotty Toy.  Spend quality time with them.  Extra walks, play ball & cuddle as much as pawsible.  Spoil them with treats & toys.  Go to the park & visit their pupfuriends. It is the purrfect time for extra dogventures, new learning sessions, pup spa days & wellness checks. It’s also a time to raise awareness about responsible care, & socialization.

Summer is one of the busiest & most challenging times of year for animal shelters. Intakes often rise during the warmer months, & many rescues repawt that larger dogs, black dogs & seniors can wait far longer for a home than smaller, younger puppers. National Dog Month helps puts a spotlight on the “adopt, don’t shop” message & encourages humans to consider rescue dogs, including seniors & dogs who may not be top models (not ever pup is a beautiful as our fursister Olivia) that are often overlooked.

 

 

Let’s not forget about showing support to the volunteers who dedicate their time to dog shelters & rescue organizations.  This is the purrfect  time  to donate & incourage others to do so as well. The best thing a human could do is to adopt a shelter dog or foster.  There are so many pawtastic dogs who want to share a life with you &  need your love &  support.

 

Have a purrfect week!

Remember to be gnawsome, be kind & stay safe.
