SUMMARY:Doggy Date Night
DESCRIPTION:You’re working all day\, out running errands\, or spending time with your family and loved ones. How about slowing down to spend some quality time with the one who is always there for you: your dog! Take the chance to hang out with your pup on Doggy Date Night on February 3. \n  \nPeople have kept dogs as pets for 12\,000 years\, and with good reason! They are steadfast companions and there are enough types (more than 150 breeds!) out there for everyone. Dogs can live for as many as 15 years\, making them a significant part of their owner’s life. For years\, scientists have studied the special connection between dogs and humans\, consistently finding that dogs provide social and emotional benefits for their owner\, and the bond promotes a positive well-being for both the owner and the dog. \n  \nThey don’t call them man’s best friend for nothing: dogs are loyal\, protective\, and always excited to see you! On this February 3\, spend a little extra time with your dog: play games like fetch or Frisbee\, or go on a nice long hike! Go beyond the standard walks and couch snuggles and make an event out of it to make your pooch feel special! \n  \n\nDOGGY DATE NIGHT ACTIVITIES\n  \n1. Hit the town\nFirst\, head to the park for a big game of fetch and some wide open spaces. Take a couple of selfies of you and the pup to commemorate the occasion. After you are worn out from playing\, find a dog-friendly patio at a restaurant for some dinner. Then\, for dessert\, take your dog to a local bakery just for them. They’ll be in heaven over all the cakes\, treats\, and bones for their choosing. Make sure to post your pictures and use the event’s hashtag on Twitter: #DoggyDateNight. \n  \n2. Check out some canine art\nThe American Kennel Club Museum of the Dog in St. Louis\, MO holds the largest collection dog-related art in the country. Take a trip to check out some of the pieces\, including a permanent collection of All-Star Dogs and dogs of war. They also host a “Guest Dog of the Week” exhibit\, in which dogs and their owners are on hand to meet with museum patrons. There’s even a doggy bakery that caters! \n  \n3. Have a spa day\nPrimping and pampering are not just for people! Celebrate Doggy Date Night with a little indulgence for you and your pooch. Dip your hands in moisturizing lotion\, and apply some shea butter to your dog’s paws and nose! Then try out all the spa products designed just for dogs: facial scrubs\, perfume\, and even nail polish! \n  \n\n\nWHY WE LOVE DOGGY DATE NIGHT\n  \nA. Dogs are good for us\nThe benefits of having a dog reach far and wide. They can be good for your mind\, body\, and spirit! In fact\, research has shown that spending just 15 minutes playing with your pup can help you feel more relaxed. It also releases serotonin\, improving your mood! Research has also shown lower levels of blood pressure and cholesterol in dog owners. And\, they’ve gotta walk\, so you do\, too! Having a dog helps owners stay active and get outside. \n  \nB. Dogs understand you on a deep level\nPart puppy-intuition\, part their incredible sense of smell\, dogs can pick up on how you are feeling\, making them sensitive to your needs. Dogs can smell 40-50 times more than humans\, which enables them to identify the changing body chemistries of people who are sick\, stressed\, or even pregnant. In many cases\, dogs have been known to recognize cancer or cases of diabetes in their owners. \n  \nC. They are fascinating creatures\nThey come in all shapes and sizes (some as small as two pounds!)\, and are descendants of wolves! They have hearing abilities that are ten times more accurate than the average person. They can be trained as service animals for the visually-impaired or those with physical disabilities\, and are even used as sources of comfort for individuals with social anxieties. America\, the top favorite dog breeds are Labradors\, Golden Retrievers\, and German Shepherds.

SUMMARY:National Dress Up Your Pet Day
DESCRIPTION:It’s National Dress Up Your Pet Day on January 14\, and we want you go to all out. Celebrate by dressing up your furry family member in comfortable pet clothing — maybe even get matching outfits\, if you want to get crazy. If it were any normal day\, people would be staring at you at your dog in the street. However\, on National Dress Up Your Pet Day\, matching outfits are not only accepted\, but also encouraged! Who’s the angel responsible for this holiday? National Dress Up Your Pet Day was started in 2009 by celebrity pet lifestyle expert and animal behaviorist Colleen Paige. It celebrates pets and helps to support the pet fashion community. The chance only comes once a year to wow the neighbors and to unleash the inner diva of your favorite pooch\, so make sure your dog is dressed for the occasion!  \n\n\nNATIONAL DRESS UP YOUR PET DAY ACTIVITIES\n  \n1. Have a friend take photos of you and your pet’s new outfits\nDid you even dress up your dog if you didn’t take a picture of it? You need to commemorate you and your dog looking styling! Have a mini-photoshoot\, and upload the pictures to your social media. Or\, if your friends aren’t nice enough to indulge you\, take a selfie\, or 3\, or 10. Either way\, the moment is captured. \n  \n2. Use #DressUpYourPetDay on Facebook\, Twitter\, and Instagram\nIn case you live under a rock\, we have a memo for you: the internet is extremely creative! Search this hashtag to see how other dog owners have dressed up their dogs in the past. You’ll get inspired immediately. And who knows? You might start some friendly competition! We believe in you; you’ll win! \n  \n3. If you have kids\, but no pets\, dress them up instead.\nThe FOMO doesn’t have to be real. If you don’t have pets\, you can dress up your children instead! And if you really want to stick with the theme\, you can grab a friend’s dog and go wild. I’m sure your friends wouldn’t mind you babysitting their dogs for a couple hours! \n  \n\n\nWHY WE LOVE NATIONAL DRESS UP YOUR PET DAY\n  \nA. Clothes can reveal your pet’s personality\nPeople dress up to show off their personality. So why shouldn’t your pet do the same? Whether your dog is flirtatious\, tough\, smart or sassy\, she deserves an outfit that matches her persona. Your diva dog can get a pink\, bedazzled sweatshirt. Your tough dog can get a doggy crew neck sweater. The options are endless\, and we want you to try them all! (And we’re sure your dog does too.) \n  \nB. Celebrating holidays is more fun with your pet\nEven something as silly as spending a day dressing up your pet is quality time\, and your pet relishes it. Sorry\, did we say silly? We meant amazing. Your pet will love that you’re spending time together\, and your friends will love that you posted it on the ‘Gram. Facebook and Instagram likes\, here you come! Your picture might even impress that cute guy or girl you’ve been eyeing. \n  \nC. It’s probably cold outside anyway\nIt’s still January\, which means that many places are experiencing cold weather right now. And remember: dogs get cold too! Just as you’re not supposed to walk your dog when it’s too hot\, you need to put a sweater on your dog when it’s too cold. So protect your dog from the winter elements by showing some National Dress Up Your Dog Day pride. Treat your fur-baby with that extra layer of warmth\, and make sure it is comfortable for them to walk around in!
