August 18th International Homeless Animals Day

Organizations around the world come together on the third Saturday of August to raise awareness about the pet overpopulation problem.

August 18th is International Homeless Animals’ Day : activities often include candlelight vigils, adopt-a-thons, microchip clinics, blessings of the animals, and heartfelt speeches given by council members, local veterinarians, humane officers and shelter personnel. Other activities include slideshows, rallies, dog walks, open houses, award ceremonies, live music, raffles, and games.

Be a part of the solution by volunteering or donating to your local shelter.


Here's very cool way to help homeless pets and our wounded warriors!

Happy Birthday Sparky the Fire Dog

Sparky the Fire Dog
Official mascot of the National Fire Protection Association

Here's a poem I think Sparky made up

The dogs once held a meeting,
They came from near and far,
Some came by Greyhound busses
While others came by car.

Before they stepped inside the hall,
and allowed to take a look,
They had to take their rear ends off,
And hang them on a hook.

They all walked in, one by one,
Each Mother, Son and Sire,
But no sooner were they seated,
When someone hollered "fire!"

Up they jumped and out they ran,
but  had no time to look,
So each just grabbed a rear end,
Right off the rear end hook.

They got their rear ends all mixed up,
It made them awful sore,
To think they'd lost the rear end,
They'd always worn before.

And that's the reason why, you see,
On any city street,
A dog will stop and swap a smell,
With every dog he meets.

And that's the reason why a dog
will leave his nice fat, juicy, bone,
To smell another rear end,
In hopes to find his own.....
