I didn't notice two birds on the porch when I let the dogs out. Both dogs grabbed a bird. Wylie Vizsla carried his bird into the yard and dropped it, like a good bird dog. Zara Beagle carried her bird around for a while, and then ate it, but not before wanting to bring it inside!

It was a cold night for trick-or-treating. I bought less candy than last year, because of the weather forecast, and I still have too much candy left over at the end of the night! Wylie Vizsla and Zara Beagle loved visiting with everyone that came to the door.

National Dog Day!

https://www.nationaldogday.com/

Founded in 2004 by Animal Welfare Advocate and Pet Lifestyle Expert,

Colleen Paige, National Dog Day celebrates all breeds, mixed and pure and serves to help galvanize the public to recognize the number of dogs that need to be rescued each year, either from public shelters, rescues and pure breed rescues.

National Dog Day honors family dogs and dogs that work selflessly to save lives, keep us safe and bring comfort. Dogs put their lives on the line every day - protecting our families and homes, for their law enforcement partner, for their blind companion, for the disabled, for our freedom and safety by detecting bombs and drugs and helping to locate and rescue victims of accidents and tragedy.
