National Dog Mom's Day!
During the second Saturday in May, National Dog Mom’s Day sends out a chorus of yips, barks, and howls of praise for all the dog mommas!
Our dogs are our family members, whether they came into our lives unexpectedly or as carefully planned additions. We adopt them as puppies, adolescents, or fully mature animals with a bit of baggage and yet, we find common ground, a connection and bond like families do. They know our moods, and we know theirs. We care for them, shelter them and share an immeasurable loyalty with them.
National Dog Mom’s Day recognizes the bond women share with their fur kids. When they humor us, charm us or even when they are naughty, they are like any other child to us.
HOW TO OBSERVE
On National Dog Mom’s Day make sure to get some extra cuddles. Bake up some yummy homemade puppy treats. Plan for some double pampering – a pedicure for you and paws for the puppers. Then take an extra special selfie with fur baby to mark the occasion.
Dog Moms in New York City and New Orleans can celebrate at the FREE official Dog Mom’s Day events with treats, drinks, and praise for dog moms!
Use #DogMomsDay to share on social media.
Win dog moms day gifts! National Day Calendar + Dig will be giving away free dog mom gifts on Facebook Live on May 12. Prizes will be provided by the following dog-friendly businesses: Amuse Pooch, PetChatz, Paul’s Custom Pet Food, Pet Krewe, ShaggySwag, The Big City Woof Walker, Damn Dog, Navé, Dog Is Good, Leela Ryan Boutique Dog Treats AND MORE! Find our full list of prizes at digdates.com/dogmomsday
HISTORY
Dig – The Dog Person’s Dating App founded National Dog Mom’s Day to celebrate and thank the dog moms who dedicate their love and support every day to their dogs. It’s a different, special and visceral love that deserves its own day to be recognized and appreciated.
The Registrar at National Day Calendar proclaimed National Dog Mom’s Day to be observed the second Saturday of May beginning in 2018.

Recycling Fundraiser
The CARL Kennels needs your recyclable plastic bottles and aluminum cans. Instead of throwing them in your recycling container at curb side, why not separate them in bags of aluminum cans and plastic bottles and bring them to the kennel. All money goes back to the repairs and upkeep of the kennel such as shade tarps, poop bags, etc. It’s good for the can, it’s good for the dogs.
This is an ongoing fundraiser. Contact C.A.R.L at http://info@carlvc.org If you would like to donate recyclable bottles, cans.
