What the dog is PURPLE DAY? you may ask. Hi CEO Olivia here today to yap about. I know, we don’t  normally publish on Tuesday but that’s how pawtastic PURPLE DAY is.  We dogcided to publish today Purple Day instead of our normal Monday post.

‘PURPLE DAY is an international grassroots effort dedicated to increasing awareness about epilepsy worldwide. Every year people & furleggers in countries around the world are invited to wear purple & host events in support of epilepsy awareness on March 26th. More than 85 countries on all continents pawticipated in Purple Day last year.  Canada which is where huMom & I are from is the only country in the world who officially recognizes March 26th as Purple Day through the Purple Day Act implemented on June 28, 2012. To dig up more I suggest pawing on over to PURPLEDAY.ORG

This year’s Puple Day  blog hop includes FurAngel Gibson of Fivesibes, & Angel Ru of Ruby The Therapy Dog, Gibbs of GIBBS-erish…Making Sense of Canine Epilepsy, & of course me, Olivia of Oh, The Life of Olivia. 

Paw on over to my Facebook page Oh, The Life of Olivia to see my Purple Day post, The Faces of Canine Epilepsy.  Unfortunately, the reel we made cut off short but if you paw the post of stills you can see the complete post.  💜nose nudges💜

 

 

Over time we have we have met so many pawtastic Canine Epi-Warriors through social media.  Many of my fellow Epi-Warriors are still fighting the epi-monster but sadly, others have fallen. We send out our love & strength to all those living with canine epilepsy & those who have lost a loved one. 💜 gently nose nudges 💜

 

 

We nose this can be a difficult day for many & for that reason we would like to share our post ‘Taking Care of The Caregiver‘. We dogscuss the common signs of caregiver stress, symptoms of depression &/or anxiety, & ways to help manage that stress.  We also include a pawtastic 60 Second Meditation Tool To Help Clear Your Mind.
