When you adopt a pet, you may not know their actual birthday, but you can celebrate their “Gotcha Day.” A “Gotcha Day” is the anniversary of your pet’s adoption day and a great way to acknowledge all the love and joy your fur-kid has brought you and your family. Bring home a special treat. Stop in your local barkery and bring home your furkid’s favorite treat. Commission a Pet Portrait. You can commission a portrait of your cat or dog, or head to your local portrait studio for a picture to be taken of you together. Host a playdate. If your pet has a particular buddy (furry...

 The Old Farmer’s Almanac lists the traditional period of the Dog Days  as the 40 days beginning July 3 and ending August 11, coinciding with  the ancient heliacal (at sunrise) rising of the Dog Star, Sirius. These are  the days of the year with the least rainfall in the Northern Hemisphere  (living in Florida, I get experience rain daily during this time.) The Term dog days is   from ancient times, when the night sky was  unobscured by artificial lights and different groups of peoples in  different parts of the world drew images in the sky by “connecting the  dots” of stars. The images drawn...

If you participated in yesterday’s No Sock Day, you might need to also celebrate Lost Sock Memorial Day. The day recognizes your drawer full of unmatched socks. Each unmatched sock represents a missing sock. We never throw away our unmatched socks. After all, it may show up someday. On Lost Sock Memorial Day, we suggest you spend a little time (as little as possible) searching for those missing socks.   Then, by all means, get on with your life. We encourage you to use this special day, to face the fact those sock are gone forever, and recycle the unmatched one as a pet...

This past Saturday, Doggie Cakes had the opportunity to attend a pet blessing at the Unity Truth Center.  I have never been to one and found the experience to be interesting. (Jason has attended several). I began to wonder where this tradition began. To the internet I went for some research….   It seems that the tradition grew out of the Feast of St. Francis of Assisi.  I could not find a date for when the first one might have occurred. They    are normally held in October. This celebration evolved into honoring our beloved animal companions.  St. Francis is the patron...

At the beginning of  the summer I had selected a few books to read.  I have only finished one, so far.  Rescuing Sprite, A Dog Lover’s Story of Joy and Anguish, by Mark R. Levin.  I know that this was going to be a sad story, however I did not know what would soon happen in my life after I began reading it. After a few characters in, our family lost are beautiful Luna after 15 years.  So, I like the author was grieving.  Every time I pick it up to read I had to put it down knowing that the ending was to close to my own...
