For National Dogs in Politics Day on September 23 we celebrate The First Dog of the United States, who holds an important place in the hearts of all Americans. Dogs and other pets have a long history of living in the White House; they have endeared us to their owners (the First Families) and have even swayed the vote of animal lovers with interests in the rights of their furry friends. Learn more about the history of man’s best friend and their role in politics today.
Dogs in politics began with George Washington with American Fox Hounds and Black and Tan Coonhounds as well as a greyhound and on from there setting the trend for the rest of the presidents.

Today is National Pet Birth Defect Awareness Day!

Pet Birth Defect Awareness Day is observed on September 13, to bring awareness about pet birth defects as well as their mental health. Pet birth defects can be caused by various things, but a responsible pet owner can help to avoid some causes. Inbreeding and over-breeding pets can cause the pet’s physical and behavioral problems. Pets need owners who are willing to accommodate them. So, as a responsible pet owner, you need to learn more about the importance of pet birth defect prevention, treatment, proper care, and methods of identification.

HOW TO OBSERVE NATIONAL PET MEMORIAL DAY
Remember a beloved pet
Whether there’s a picture tacked to your wall, a home video of your dog playing with your child, or an old collar you kept behind, there are many ways people retain keepsakes of their lost furry families. Pull out the picture, watch the home video, or find the collar in a memory box, and talk about what made Snowball such a good cat for all those years.

Reach out to a friend who lost a pet
The acute loss of a good pet is incredibly difficult to get through. Bring them a stuffed animal with their pet’s name on a collar, bake them cookies, or send flowers. The little gestures of support become incredibly valuable in times of loss.

Love your pets a little extra today
It’s a great day to appreciate the furry friends that are still by your side. Love on your pets just a little harder today. Buy them a new toy or treat, or take them to the vet to get a checkup. You’ll want them healthy and happy as long as possible!

Rabbit Facts!

For adult rabbits Timothy hay or Oat hay. Alfalfa hay is fine for young bunnies, but is only safe in limited supply for adults because of its higher sugar content and calorie count.
Hay provides the fiber necessary to prevent diarrhea, obesity, and hairballs, and assists with digestion. It also helps wear down a bunny’s constantly growing teeth and keeps their incisors healthy.
Vegetables are the second most important part of bunny’s diet, and you can offer three different kinds in small quantities during each feeding.
Veggies should be fresh and free of pesticides, and should be washed thoroughly.
Green, leafy vegetables are good for bunnies. You can include arugula, basil, bok choy, broccoli leaves, carrot tops, celery, clover, collard greens, dandelion leaves, dill, endive, kale in small quantities, romaine and dark leaf lettuce, mint, mustard greens, parsley, and watercress.
The pellets must be high in fiber and low in protein and should not contain seeds, corn, or other foods high in calories.
Treats should be healthy foods too, and only given in very small amounts, such as when training (e.g. teaching your bunny to use the litter box).
Good treats are small amounts of fruit such as strawberries, bananas, raspberries, pineapple pieces, apples without seeds, and melons. Veggie treats include a small amount of fresh carrot, pieces of green pepper, and Brussels sprouts.
Hay – Body–sized amount of 100% grass hay per day
Vegetables – Head-sized amount or 1-2 cups per day
Pellets – Small handful or ¼ cup (50 ml) per day
Fruit – Maximum 2 tbsp per day, preferably less often
2. Life Stage Suggestions Per day

At 12 weeks – alfalfa-based pellets and hay; veggies; teaspoon-sized piece of fruit
At 7 months-1 year – 50% grass hay; ½ cup pellets; +/- fruit treat; green veggies
At 1 to 5 years – 100% grass hay; 1-2 cups of veggies; 2 tbsp fruit or less; ¼ cup pellets
Encourage Natural Foraging and Chewing Behaviors
When you encourage your bunny’s natural foraging and chewing behaviors, it provides mental stimulation, occupies and entertains your little pet, promotes exercise, keeps teeth healthy, and is fun for both of you.
