.
Did you do anything special for National Dog Day today? Mummy said that she would read us a book, but that isn’t really SPECIAL, because she does that a lot anyway! Does your Mommy ever read to you? Mummy had this special harness made for me many years ago because it reminded her of a little poem that HER MOMMY used to read to HER when she was a little girl. When she was little, she wanted a kitten REALLY, REALLY BAD… and one year for Christmas she FINALLY got one… and she named her kitten “INKY” after the little kitten in the poem. You can see on my little harness that all of the characters from the poem are stitched on the front. It is really very special to me AND to Mummy because it reminds her of the times when her Mummy used to read to HER. Now… getting back to NATIONAL DOG DAY, I think that after reading a few books, perhaps we need to get some extra SNACKS and maybe watch a good movie tonight! That would be my choice for a great day. What would YOU choose to do?
Happy National dog day ❤️
We hope that you had a HAPPY DAY!

Hi Millie . What a beautiful harness and such special memories to go with it. My Arabella
was groomed today and had some steak for dinner with her dog food. My Rosie ad some steak too but she was groomed yesterday for National dog day. Enjoy your snacks!
Thank you! It sounds like everyone at your house got an extra special meal today so that was good!
I would take my little Yorkie DeeAnn for a walk, and give her the treats she loves! I love your ideas for National Dog day, little Millie! You are just precious!! ?
Thank you very much. KISS KISS
Happy National Dog Day! Well my furry kids are pretty much disappointed because we had a sort of family crisis this afternoon and then I needed to mow the grass before any bad weather comes here tomorrow (they are calling for storms here) plus they are showing Hurricane Laura could head our way after she hits the south so we didn’t get to really celebrate. Are you in TN or SC? have you been visiting your place in TN?
Oh I am so very sorry about your family crisis! I hope everything is better now. We are in SC and praying hard for anyone in the storm’s path. We have been having work done on our place in TN so we have not been able to visit there but hopefully can get there soon.
Such a sweet story
Thank you so very much. When Mummy was a little girl she was always bringing home little critters of some sort… turtles, tadpoles, stray cats that would run off, and she was always finding baby birds for some odd reason. But she always wanted a little kitten. Who knew that one day she would grow up and have a houseful of YORKIES! We did actually have a kitty but she passed away several years ago.
Hi Millie! Happy National Dog Day to you and your sisters! Your harness is beautiful. You’ve got a really special Mummy. ❤️
Thank you very much… the harness was something that helped to remind her of the time she spent doing things with her own Mummy.
A big happy dog day to all of you. I have given my babies a big special hug today. Love to all of the fur babies out there……..
Hugs make every day special so that was very sweet! KISS KISS
DEAR MILLIE,
HOPE YOU, YOUR SISTERS AND DOG FRIENDS HAD A DELIGHTFUL NATIONAL DOG DAY.
YOUR HARNESS THAT HAS THE CHARACTERS IN THE POEM ON IT IS LOVELY…ESPECIALLY ON YOU.
A COUPLE OF COMMENTS SENT TO YOU REMINDED ME HOW MUCH I LOVE HAVING MY MISTRESS’ UNDIVIDED ATTENTION WHEN SHE HAND-FEEDS ME SCRABBLED EGGS WITH MY VITAMINS MIXED INTO THEM, SHE READS MY EMAIL WITH ME AND WE WATCH ANIMAL VIDEOS TOGETHER.
WHEN DO YOU HAVE YOUR MISTRESS AND/OR MASTER TO YOURSELF.
We have had lots of time alone with Mummy since the virus has kept everyone indoors. We spend most of our time on the sofa with her and sometimes we go onto the screened-in porch and sit out there for a change of scenery!
Happy Doggy Day to all you sweet girls! Sending love and kisses!! xox
We hope that you had a really fun day. KISS KISS
Happy Doggy Day from Missy (left), Buddy (right), and my angel Darla (in Heaven).
What an awesome world it would be if we all lived like people worthy of the love and devotion given to us by our dogs. 
That is the truth! I love your pictures. KISS KISS
????
I hope your day was a very happy one.
ABSOLUTELY love, love, love the harness! Happy National Dog Day to you and your sisters!!!!
Thank you so very much and we hope that every day will be filled with happiness for you!
Happy National Dog Day from all of us! ?❤?
Thank you so very much. KISS KISS
I absolutely love your harness!! It is gorgeous just like you! I hope you and your sisters had a great day. I am sure the love and treats were flowing as they were at my house!!
Thank you very much. We had a really nice day and hope that yours was a nice one too.
Hi Millie and clan
Sounds like you girls had a wonderful National Dog Day. Oliver had a great day also. We went for a long walk on the beach. His favorite place to meet all ibis fur friends.
Seems mommy and I had a kitten named Inky. I adopted him from a shelter.
Wishing you a happy healthy day!
Oliver and mommy
Oh my goodness! You had a little INKY too! How wonderful! Mummy loved that little cat of hers!!!
As always, thank you for sharing your life with me. I loved everything: the poem, the harness and, of course, Millie and Mom. Happy National Dog Day!!! but in our home, dog day is every day.
We are glad to share our stories with you… and of course, it is always doggie day every day HERE as well but it was FUN to have a NATIONAL DAY anyway. Lololol
I hope you girls got your extra treats and a movie.
Yes… we love when there is a special day to get extra snacks! Lololol
Sounds lovely but I am sure my Maddie and Tucker would not sit still to be read to. I love your special harness, wow, it is adorable like you and your sissies.
Thank you so very much. Just try reading a little short story one time… you might be surprised!!!
What a nice story ! Poor Custard…he’s lucky to have those friends.For National Dog Day, my girls have a friend who built them a nice ramp to help them get yp and down the bed easily. Not stairs, a nice ramp!!!! The girls are very happy!!!
Mummy has been looking at ramps for us because I have been having trouble with the little stairs going up to the sofa… I think a ramp is what I need!!!
What a beautiful harness! Happy Doggy day to you sweet Millie and your sisters. ❤️
Thank you very much. We hope that your day was a happy day too!
Glad to see ya mliile looking good
Thank you so very much! KISS KISS
Happy National Dog Day Millie. Katie, Addie Mae and Tulip! From me Yankee and my Mommy. ?? Sorry this is late but I just checked my emails and it said sent at 1 am.
Ohhhh what a darling picture!!! We hope your day was a very special one and we never look at time stamps… we are just happy to hear from our friends ANY TIME!
Millie and Mummy to celebrate Yankee had some steak, broccoli and cucumbers. BUT It’s just like any other day because he’s very spoiled! I don’t know if you and Mummy remember but Yankee only has one eye like Tulip. He lost it in 2016 right after we met you all kn Hershey Park, PA.
???
That sounds like a wonderful dinner! And Yankee is just as perfect as our little Tulip! KISS KISS
Yes, He is pefect just like Tulip! Yankee and I forgot to tell you thank you for liking his photo. ??
I worked pretty much all day so nothing terribly special but I did post a nice Facebook post with my 8 yorkies and then my friends dogs all-in-one place for national dog day 🙂
I will get Mummy to check out your picture. I hope you had a fun day eith all the pups. KISS KISS
Hi Millie! Your harness is just beautiful! National Dog Day was also Maggie’s 3rd birthday. She got a new soccer ball and a few little balls that she loves to grab by the tags and shake them like crazy. Maggie and Lucy play catch with the football.
Ohhhh well HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! KISS KISS
Your harness is beautiful of course your Mummy makes such beautiful harnesses for you all the time. The bright colors so cheerful just like you Millie. I hope you and your sisters had a wonderful Doggie day I know your Mummy made sure you did! Our mommy gave us our Chewie and we got to watch a movie with her. We had a great day!
Love Daisy and Lucy ??
Thank you so very much but Mummy did not make this harness for me… she is not nearly talented enough for something like this, but it is a very special harness because it reminds her of her own Mummy and the times she spent reading with her as a little girl.
Thank you for sharing your story on National Dog Day. So special. Love your dress.?
Thank you so very much and we do hope that you had a very special day as well.
Happy National Dog day to all of you.
Hi Millie, My nanny, Jill, is with me now because my Mommy (who is a pharmacist) is working at an evacuation center up in Northern California where the fires are so TERRIBLE and SCARY! You and your parents and sisters met Jill once in Port Angeles, WA. Yesterday she took me for an extra walk to the park and we got to stay as long as I wanted to and then I got an extra piece of chicken jerky for my snack! It was ALMOST as much fun as being with my mommy. I hope you and your sisters got… Read more »
I am so happy that you were able to get a little something extra and we are praying extra hard for everyone out there in California… your Mommy is an ANGEL! Our prayers are also with those in Texas, Louisiana and Arkansas and anyone else in Hurricane Laura’s path!!!
Millie, this is Jill, the lucky nanny for Miss Prissy. Yes, her mommy is truly an ANGEL! I picked her up at the airport yesterday and she said she hoped she could stay home for one week before going out again to help others. I hope she gets to do it, too! You’re right though, there are so MANY folks to pray for right now…we hope they will survive everything that’s coming their way. And now there’s a fire down here in the San Diego area. We (my cat Ivy and I) can smell the smoke from our home. We… Read more »
Please please stay safe! We will continue to keep praying for everyone out there!!!
Happy Doggy Day to you from Lolly and my silly sister, Layla! We are all the lucky ones…we are so very loved. We need to think about all of the doggies out there who are in shelters or worse, on the street or being abused. They need our help.
Yes, we ARE so very loved and hopefully the day will come when pet stores will no longer be allowed to sell puppies and the puppy mills will be shut down and the people running them convicted of serious crimes. Until then… we keep encouraging people to ADOPT when they can but sometimes even THAT if difficult depending on where you live. I think many people are really trying to do better but we have a long way to go.
That is so true on every count. Also, report any one who abuse their pets, leaving them without food and water, abandoning them, beating or kicking them, leaving them in a hot car – or just being cruel. These little guys have no voice so we have to be their voice. They depend on us for all of their needs.
Furry lives matter !! FLM! Just sayin’.
Very true! KISS KISS
We realio, trulio enjoyed Odgen Nash’s tale, thanks!
I am so glad that you enjoyed it. KISS KISS
