"World Spay Day annually aims to decrease stray pet populations by increasing awareness of the importance of spaying and neutering programs. Around the world, a variety of effective programs reduce stray populations. These programs target both strays in neighborhoods and in shelters. Through education, spay and neuter programs in shelters raise awareness prior to the adoption of cats and dogs. In neighborhood programs, spay and neuter programs effectively reduce stray populations over the long term with the help of the community. These types of programs are especially effective where feral cat populations exist. Since feral cats cannot be domesticated, spaying and neutering in the communities where they live to offer the most humane way to reduce the population. Other programs may be offered through veterinarian clinics and communities, too. The observance offers an opportunity for programs to highlight the benefits of spaying and neutering and increase support for their individual programs."
My notes: If we lived in a perfect world, we wouldn't need to intervene. But we have backyard breeders, puppy mills. People who don't care.

I'm glad that most shelters will not let you adopt a cat or dog unless the spay/neuter is already done. At least this was true for me every time I adopted a kitty from the local shelters.

I think everyone should get their pet spayed and neutered until all the shelters are empty and out of business. I hate seeing people trying to sell puppies! Especially pit bull puppies. There are so many of them already in shelters that need homes. And most people are doing it not because they love dogs, but to make a little extra money. Using their pet for their own gain. It's one of my pet peeves. No pun intended! LOL

"All dog owners, remember that February 23rd is National Dog Biscuit Day! This day is also observed around the world as International Dog Biscuit Appreciation Day. Dog biscuits come in a variety of sizes, shapes, and flavors. They serve to reward a manโs best friend for good behavior as part of their training. Dog owners may also give a biscuit to show their canine companions just how much they love them, too. Sometimes, dog biscuits serve to deliver vitamins and medicines we may have difficulty getting our pooches to take otherwise. Specialty treats offer dogs and their owners so much to chews from! Even dogs on restricted diets wonโt have trouble finding a dog biscuit thatโs gentle on their tummy. Others help keep teeth healthy and fresh, too! What better reward could you ask for?"
My notes: I used to make my own years ago & it was quite fun. Now tho, we buy organic ones from Wet-Noses.

"On February 23rd, National Tile Day recognizes a timeless element of architecture and design. Around the world, tile plays a variety of roles. From the modest to the sublime, tile proves to be versatile and attractive. Historically, only the wealthy could afford tile in their homes. The expense of handmade or small batch production meant tiles were difficult for the ordinary person to obtain. With the advent of the industrial revolution, tile not only became more affordable but the designs and features expanded with the technology."
My notes: Who likes using tiles? Where do you use it in the most? Our homes didn't have them in it.

Our house doesn't have any tile in it either and I'm not fond of them.

"February 23rd annually recognizes a well-known food holiday, National Banana Bread Day. Bakers know that to make sweet and delicious banana bread, they need to use fully ripe, mashed bananas. The resulting quick bread is moist and almost cake-like. And while some recipes call for yeast, most don't. Either way, the finished product makes a tasty sliced snack. Toast it and add butter for an even more satisfying treat!"
My notes: Who likes banana bread? Do you make it often? I've always enjoyed banana bread. Same with zucchini bread. I just don't eat wheat anymore so haven't had them in a very long time. What do you like putting on them? I just put on butter.
