October 22nd Is National Make A Dog's Day

National make a dog's day provides an opportunity to give all dogs the best day of their lives.  The day not only encourages visits to shelters, but it is also a reminder to animal lovers everywhere to adopt instead of shop for a new pet.

​

Approximately 3.3 million dogs enter shelters in the United States annually, many being relinquished by their owners.  Worse still, approximately 35% of the animals that enter shelters are euthanized.  While numbers continue to decline, the need for adoption continues to be overwhelming.  One sure way to make a dog's day is giving them a new, loving home through adoption.

Of course, adoption is just one way to make a dog's day. Maybe going for an extra-long walk would make their day.  When was the last time you visited the dog park?  And now you have your own dog park just down the street!  

A Jewish family Karnofsky, who emigrated from Lithuania to the U.S.. took this 7-yr old street boy into their home. Later he learned to sing and play several Russian and Jewish songs, and became the adopted son of this family. Mr. Karnofsky gave him money to buy his 1st musical instrument, as was the custom of Jewish families. The litle boy grew up and wrote a book about his Jewish family,

who adopted him in 1907 and proudly spoke Yiddish fluently.  This little boy's name was Louis Armstrong.  This little boy was called Louis "Satchmo" Armstrong. Satchmo is Yiddish for "big cheeks", a nickname given to him by Mrs. Karnofsky!
