Friday August 26th is National Dog Day

Maggie and I want to share some interesting insight on National Dog Day. This fine holiday was founded in 2004 by Colleen Paige, a celebrity pet lifestyle expert and huge animal welfare advocate. Colleen also founded National Cat Day in 2005, 1 year after National Dog Day (what is up with that Colleen, why dogs first)? National Cat Day is celebrated on October 29th, (mark your calendar humans)!

National Dog Day is important because it honors dogs for all the work, loyalty and love they give humans on a daily basis. When needed they rescue, help and guard their friends and family. In other words along with us cats they are the perfect companions!

This day also gives humans the opportunity to give back. It reminds them that there are countless dogs that need a home or need to be rescued from abuse.

All About Me

My photo
Jill illustrates greeting cards and works at an Animal Medical Hospital in Arizona. Her love for animals can be seen in every drawing she has ever done. It wasn’t until Jill and her husband Paul adopted Maggie & Sam (2 crazy cats) from the Humane Society that Jill created the Maggie & Sam Collection. All of Maggie and Sam’s personalities as well as their friends have been captured in Jill’s work. In every illustration you will see humor, and love through her characters’ eyes. Jill has been selling her cards in local Arizona Stores. However, being passionate Jill wanted to create a website that would bring people together to talk about their pets, share their stories and to interact with other pet lovers. They will be able to learn new and interesting facts about the various animals pictured on the greeting cards, read their pet’s horoscope, and send personal messages to their friends and families at any time via e-mail.
