My west coast brother has informed me that today is "National Pet Day." That's fine with me. I like pets even though we don't have any of our own right now. Too much traveling on our agenda. From childhood on I have lived with six dogs and seven cats, though not all at the same time. There were also hamsters and white mice, two parakeets, some nameless fish and Charlotte the boa constrictor. These days my spouse and I have four grand-dogs, eight grand-cats and one grand-frog. I think that qualifies us to celebrate this special day. We did so while driving through the neighborhood this evening by saying something nice whenever we saw someone walking their dogs. "Awe, look at the cute little dogs." or "Wow, that's a big dog!" Things like that. It probably would have been more effective if we had been out of the car so their people could hear us but we were on our way to B. Antonio's for pizza and that requires driving not walking. So to all of you who have pets, happy Pet Day. Give your pet a pat for me.
