Memorial Day was first established in 1868 in order to honor the soldiers who had died during the Civil War.

It was initially only recognized by the state of New York and then the remainder of the northern states jumped on board. It wasn't followed by the south until after World War I. It's hard to remember why we enjoy the freedom of our Memorial Day picnics.

So if by chance, you are reading this, nod your head and say a quick prayer and thank you to those that have lost their lives to make your's better.

GregRobert Pet Supplies is offering $7.00 off any order of $100 or more using coupon code: memorial. So today is the day to stock up and save.

A few additional sale items (you can save on TOP of the Memorial day coupon) include:

The American Sunflower Tube Bird Feeder - as low as $21.00. These sunflower tube feeders were created to celebrate our country and the men, women and dogs that sacrificed for it. If you know of a dog or other pet that sacrificed their lives for the good of the country or saving his or her owner, please submit your story in the comments. We will publish all stories about pet bravery.

American Made Heavy Weight Dog Chews These are Clear Basted American Beef-Hide - USA Made from premium bones, flavored, but the color is removed. Prevents almost all noticeable staining. According to the manufacturer of these rawhides: "Pet Factory will continue to manufacture products from US beefhides, in environmentally safe and controlled facilities. It is something which we pride ourselves on, something we continually work on, and something which certainly is a long term sell."

DON'T FORGET THESE DOG CHEW TIPS:

After your pet has enjoyed the dog chew for a while, you could remove the dog chew and let it stand to become dry again, so that it is firm for the next time your pet is ready to enjoy the dog chew.

When the chew has been enjoyed down to a small portion, you may want to remove the remains if your pet tends to try to swallow or eat pieces that are just a little too big for the pet.

National Dog Day has two goals:

1. to honor dogs, and
2. to rescue dogs from homelessness and abuse.

It's an opportunity for us to recognize and appreciate the value and importance of dogs in our lives.

President George W. Bush, a dog owner himself, sent a letter to the foundation in support of National Dog Day.

National Dog Day wishes to encourage dog ownership of all breeds, mixed and pure - and embraces the opportunity for all dogs to live a happy, safe and ”abuse-free life”.

We did a little bit of research on National Dog Day and found out that there is a discrepancy with respect to which day it really lands on. Some websites say that it is August 26th each year and some websites say that it is August 23rd each year.

National Dog Week is always the last week in September and that is undisputed :)

What should I do if I witness an animal being mistreated?

If you witness animal abuse or neglect, please contact your local humane society, animal shelter, or animal control agency immediately.

In most areas, those agencies have the authority to enforce state and local laws related to animals and the capability to investigate and resolve these situations. They rely on concerned citizens to be their eyes and ears in the community and to report animal suffering. You can choose to remain anonymous, although giving your name to your humane agency will enable that group to follow up with you when necessary.
