Call me Sonic. Or Twister.

March 31.  And it's National Crayola Crayon Day.  I believe I first wrote about this "holiday" back in 2015 - and I wrote about the fact that Crayola has many great color names -  many of which would make great DOG names.  For example, some of MY favorites include: Yonder (from the color Wild Blue Yonder), Steel (from Steel Teal), Lumber (which would make a great name for a Bassett Hound), Sonic (from Sonic Silver), and Twister.

Although Crayola has produced more than 200 distinct colors since they began in 1903, we dogs cannot really see all those colors.  Contrary to popular belief though, we dogs are NOT color blind.  We actually DO see colors - but not in as great a range as humans.  One source on the net says we don't see the rainbow like humans do - instead our colors look more like dark and light blue, a brownish color, shades of grey, and dark and light yellow.  So you know how you think when you throw that bright fluorescent orange toy in the grass and you expect us to fetch it and you think that we are being stubborn and running past it and ignoring it?  Nope.  We likely don't see it.  Thank goodness I now have an excuse.

And one other thing... while I don't advocate EATING crayons - for those who are wondering and who have dogs with unusual appetites - like the FG, Crayola Crayons are NON-TOXIC.  So far, nobody in THIS house has pooped a rainbow.  Yet.

Have a colorful day!
