Thanks to everyone who has been celebrating January with the Alex's House Lonely Hearts Club. They are backing out of January with Backwards Day.
So, we tried celebrating National Puzzle Day, today, January 29th, and we found that our Lonely Hearts Club needs a little more practice with puzzles.
John and Jenny celebrating National Kazoo Day (January 28th).
It's January 24th, and we all have our different ways of celebrating Cheesy Sock Day.
Alex's House celebrated January 23rd, National Pie Day, with homemade, dog-safe pumpkin pies. Jenny, Sam, Malcolm, and Bingo say "Yum!"
Does your cat have questions? Today, January 22nd, is Answer Your Cat's Question Day. The Alex's House Lonely Hearts Club thought they would try to help out with some answers.
Happy Popcorn Day! (January 19th) Alex's House celebrated with Sam, Malcolm, and Jenny. They enjoyed some salt-free popcorn as a special treat.
January is Train Your Dog Month. Our Lonely Hearts Club is making some progress with the basics--"sit" and "lie down"--and Sam has mastered it all.
The dogs kept good time with the polka music for National Polka Music Month. If you're able to watch the entire video, all of them, especially Sam, seem to have a good sense of timing. Great additions to any music-loving family.
Bingo is celebrating January 16th, Appreciate a Dragon Day, by getting a dragon. Check out his video. If anyone is looking for a dragonslayer/cuddler, Bingo's your guy.
For January 11th, the Lonely Hearts Club learned about Morse Code for Morse Code Day. They happily wagged their tails to the dots and dashes.
January is Take Your Dog for a Walk month. Alex's House doggies go outside to play and walk everyday that the weather allows. Mostly Alex's House doggies get to play, but we do try to work with them on leash walking too. We hope everyone is able to walk their doggies often this and every month. Exercise is good for them.
It's January 9th, and Jenny, Malcolm, and Sam are celebrating Balloon Ascension Day with "Good Luck!" balloons carrying their hopes of finding furever families.
Option 3--Jenny chases the toy and then rolls around in the grass because life is meant to be fun--so play outside.
...Option 2--Jenny chases the toy and then goes off to chew on it, which means her furever family and just hang out and relax...
Happy January 7th--Play Outside Day. Jenny is looking for a furever family who wants to celebrate Play Outside Day everyday...Option 1--Jenny chases the toy but is having so much fun, she forgets to bring it back....
January 6th is National Technology Day and Sam is sharing his favorite technology, somewhat as a public service announcement. We think our friends at BuCART will agree with Sam. Microchipping your pets is important. Sam is microchipped so when he is adopted, that's already taken care of for his new furever family. If you or anyone you know has a dog or cat in need of microchipping, please give Alex's House a call--785-819-5138.
January is National Soup Month, so Alex's House decided to treat its residents to low-sodium, diluted chicken noodle soup. We decided to give Jenny the first bowl because we had to rearrange the dog beds and while the one Jenny currently has is plenty big for her, she previously slept on one twice as big. She should have her big bed back by the weekend, but for the moment she is boycotting her current dog bed and sleeping on the floor. In the meantime, we wanted to spoil her with the first bowl of soup. Jenny is looking for a furever family to spoil her even more.
Today is January 4th--World Hypnotism Day. Malcolm says, "You want to adopt me."
Bingo, the 5-year-old boy wonder, is wrapping up Sci Fi Day at Alex's House. He's an energetic chihuahua/beagle mix and his favorite scene to watch is anything with a flying car. He likes to fly around the backyard himself.
