"On the last Sunday in April, National Pet Parents Day recognizes the pet parents who go the extra mile to care for their fur babies. There is a very special connection, a unique bond, between a pet and its owner. This unique relationship, which can often last for many years, is often a vital part of the ‘pet parents’ life. Their loved pets are considered to be a member of the family. Some pet parents are new to the experience. Others are repeat performers. No matter how many pets or how often they engage in the relationship, it’s a special one every time. The observance was created to honor all dedicated pet parents across the nation with a special day of their own." My notes: I've always had pets. I cannot imagine life without them

Life without pets would not be a life that I would want to live. This is a great idea for a day.

I think we go the extra mile for our babies. The better food and treats. The precautions for safety.

"On April 25th, we observe National Telephone Day. Around the world, there are 9.82 billion mobile phones. And while some predicted the landline to be obsolete by 2020, there are still about 931 million landlines around the world.
Obtaining a Patent The correct answer to a trivia question like “Who invented the telephone?” is the name on the patent. In this case, the whole world knows the answer is Alexander Graham Bell. Had his attorney been delayed by foul weather or poor planning, the answer may be a different name. On February 14, 1876, Marcellus Bailey, one of Bell’s attorneys, rushed into the U.S. Patent office in Boston to file the patent for what would be the telephone. Later the same day, Elisha Gray filed a patent caveat for a similar device. A caveat is an intent to file for a patent."
My notes: Where would we be without the telephone?

While I don't have a 'landline' as such I do use a VOIP service as well as my cell phone. Love my VOIP as for $39/yr I can call all across North America and talk as long as I want.

"Each year on April 25th each year, National Zucchini Bread Day encourages bakers to make this delicious bread. Many explorers who came to the Americas brought back what they considered strange foods, including the zucchini. The zucchini eventually found its way to Italy, where it was named zucchino. Native Americans referred to zucchini as “something eaten raw.” However, we all know that zucchini tastes best cooked, especially in bread."
My notes: You'd think this day would be more in the summer when we have an OVER abundance of this veggie! Do you like zucchini bread? Do you make it?

I don't make it but I do like it. We pick up some at our little town's flea markets.

I don't like Zucchini as a veggie, but 'zucchini bread' is quite good.

"National Hug A Plumber Day on April 25th recognizes those who come to our rescue when pipes leak or drains are clogged. Plumbers have kept the water flowing since ancient Rome. Whether it is a minor leak to a major clog, a plumber will have the right tool for the job. They also help us install the right pipes and plumbing types when building a house or new business. They're the water specialists - designing plumbing systems that work when we need it. Thanks to plumbers, we have hot water on demand. Showers come with a variety of options and kitchens provide the ultimate convenience."
My notes: They may have a "shitty" job but they are essential for our homes to work properly. Without them, we wouldn't have running water!
