Earth Day!!

April 22.  Earth Day!  Today is the day we should take extra time to appreciate the world we live in.  Right now, it’s the only one we have – so we SHOULD be working hard to make sure we keep it clean.  There are lots of things that humans can do to help the earth – like recycle, don’t use too much water, don’t litter, conserve energy….

We canines love the Earth.  We love to sniff it.  We love to explore it.  And we love to roll on it.  We don’t litter – I mean when we poop, we ARE basically fertilizing and recycling.  Although I’m not so sure that neighbors would agree when we do it on their lawn. 

I am QUITE happy to do my part to save water.  I don’t need that bath.  And look at the energy you save if you don’t have to use a blow dryer to dry me off!  I must remind my human that NOT grooming me HELPS the Earth!

So since today is Earth Day, go out and enjoy your environment. Take a minute to marvel at the wonderful world around you.  Smell the flowers.  Look at the clouds.  Listen to the birds.  Walk your dog.  And hug a tree.  But before your dog pees on it.
