This is a post from last year but I’m sharing it again. Mimi didn’t quite make it to Dog Day this year. She died Sunday night, August 23rd. There will be a “memorial-type” post later, when I get my act together.
Meanwhile, remember this:
A dog is man’s best friend.
National Dog Day is observed annually on August 26th.
This day encourages dog ownership of all breeds. Whether mixed or purebred, embrace the opportunity for all dogs to live a happy, safe and abuse-free life. Dogs give us companionship; they keep us safe, and they aid those in need. It is a goal for many on this day to find homes for all dogs in need of a loving family. The purpose of the National Dog Day Foundation is to rescue 10,000 dogs each year
When dogs find a forever home, their companionship creates lifelong benefits. They bring with them joy, loyalty, and devotion. Eventually, no matter the breed, these pets become family.
We had Mimi for most of her 12+ years of life. After our previous dog died, I didn’t think I could ever get another dog but a friend was fostering a dog who’d just had puppies. When I first met Mimi she was a bit nippy but we straightened that out fast!
