Today is the National Dog Day in USA. Here in Brazil the Dog Day is in October 4th. Created by the National Dog Day Foundation, National Dog Day has two goals: to honor dogs and to rescue dogs from homelessness and abuse. It's an opportunity for us to recognize and appreciate the value and importance of dogs in our lives.
I just found in
Jan, from "The Pritz Family" , in Dot, from "Strolling Through Georgia (and Sometimes Alabama)" and in Shammickite, from "Rook's Nest", a nice homage to their dogs. I like to join this homage, posting photos of my adorable friend Flora. By the way, as Flora was rescue as a little puppy by my daughter, no one knows exactly when Flora was born... then Sofia chooses September 3th. Flora will be eleven years old soon. Happy Birthday dear Flora!
My husband and Flora: both loves each other!
Flora loves to take a nap in a chair
After her bath she loves enjoying the sun in a beautiful day

I didn't know it was National Dog Day. I will have to do something special for my dogs tonight.
ReplyDeleteThis is a nice tribute to Flora :)
No wonder you love Flora, she's just great. We've picked birthdays for some of our dogs, too. We always thought, it's good to have a birth date.
ReplyDeleteOlha eles aqui. Adoro essas fotos.
ReplyDeleteObrigado pela informação. Não sabia desse dia tão importante.
bjs.

Flora reminds me so much of my dog when I lived at home with my parents. Her name was Kippy and she was so smart and sweet. Happy Birthday, Flora!
ReplyDeleteUma bela homenagem a esses nossos companheiros tão especiais em nossas vidas!!!
ReplyDeletePara nós, a Flora é um ser maravilhoso que nos alegra, de forma incondicional, todos os dias!!!
Parabéns Florinha querida!!!
Parabéns à Flora pelo seu dia! Que beleza vê-la assim tão feliz. E é verdade que os cães retribuem em dobro todo o carinho que dispensamos a eles.
ReplyDeleteBela homenagem, Sonia!
Um beijo.
É uma fox-paulistinha ?
ReplyDeleteFlora is beautiful! She sure has a beautiful view too! Mary
ReplyDeleteShe looks so well loved. Happy dog day to Flora.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute dog Flora is. I just bet she is spoiled too! I really didn't know there was such a thing as National Dog Day until Jan mentioned it. I think it's a nice day and remind us in October and we'll celebrate it again. Gypsy was actually born in October.
ReplyDeleteI am glad Flora found a good home. Now she is loved and cared for by your family.
ReplyDeleteDog Day? Sorry can't post any pictures. We have a cat named Maxi, owner of this house.. also called El Presidente.
-Cheers Gisela
Hello Flora! You look just like my friend's dog, his name is Elmo! Are you sure you don't have any distant cousins in Canada????
ReplyDeleteI am looking forward to national rabbit day, I have 7..tks for sharing :D

ReplyDeletea dog day is such a great idea! Romania should also adopt this idea, there are so many poor and abused dogs here :((. but from time to time also good things happen, like with your Flora!
ReplyDeleteWe have no National Dog Day in France.Flora seems to be very happy at your home. My husband and I have no dog anymore. I will tell hello on next October 4.
ReplyDeleteThanks Sonia for all your visits at my blog. I appreciate a lot.
That is really a beautiful dog!
ReplyDeleteOh Sonia...Such GREAT GREAT Pictures of dear sweet Flora! She is a Noble Dog. And so pretty! I love the Header picture a lot, a lot! She looks like she is almost 'in flight'....And having such a great time.
ReplyDeleteAlso the picture with your husband...You can see how much they love each other!
GREAT POST Sonia!
Sempre tive cães. Alguns apanhados na rua, outros não. Agora tenho um ligeiramente grande. Tem 65 quilos!
ReplyDeleteMas é bom rapaz.
A FLORA leva, como se ve, uma vida de cachorro!rsrsrs!
ReplyDeleteBejs a abçs aõs donos e Flora!
What a lovely happy looking dog! I posted about my three as well. They all got an extra treat for their special day.
ReplyDeletePERI, a Flora é vira-lata, mas pelas suas pintas nas pernas e pescoço, imagino que seu bisavô tenha sido um perdigueiro... quem sabe...
ReplyDeleteFlora don't has any pedigree. She is a mutt. But as she has some spots on legs and neck, maybe your ancestral was a Pointer... who knows...
Sonia,
ReplyDeleteDebbie e Vida mandam felicitações à Flora pelo dia de hoje. Nossas amigas mais fiéis merecem mesmo uma homenagem pelo dia.
Beijos!
Flora is a giant sweetie! Great pics and you really captured her oversized soul. I Love the light on your patio.
ReplyDeletewow. thanks for the info. i have to buy dilbert, my pitz, something special now. maybe a new shirt.
ReplyDeleteOh Sonia I just love these shots of Flora. After her bath is my favorite - such a sweet gentle intelligent looking dog. Give her a pat for me will you?
ReplyDeleteOlá, Sônia! Sua Flora é uma graça mesmo! Achei muito legal a sua idéia do Ecological Day :)) Beijos floridos da Ursa!

ReplyDeletePaz
I missed the chance to post for this one but I enjoyed your post about Flora. She looks like she is a very loving little girl!
ReplyDeleteFlora is so pretty and she sure has a nice view and a comfy place to lay! I didn't know we had a dog day!
ReplyDeleteNão sei, acho que as pintas de Flora descendem de Border collie, não? Parabéns pelo dia! Max faz aniversário em 23 de Setembro e leva uma vida boa pra cachorro; é muito querido também!! Beijus
ReplyDeleteDear Sonia,
ReplyDeleteI am trying to get back to blogging. It has been a difficult summer for me. I missing visiting.
So glad I stopped by to meet Flora.
She looks so happy living with you and your husband. Love the photo getting hugs.
Sending you hugs,
I came back to say "HI" Sonia and thank you for your comments on my blog, AND, to take another look at the adorable sweet dear Flora, again. She has such a wonderful personality!
ReplyDeleteSonia, me deliciei vendo as fotos da nobre Flora! E já vou marcar dia 4 de outubro para uma homenagem aos bichinhos no blog de dodô.
ReplyDeleteTambém fiquei feliz por saber que meu pai, que faz 80 anos dia dois, agora, em setembro, está numa data muito significativa na atualidade.

Hi Sonia! Okay, I'll do the Ecological Day. I have never done one of these linky things, so hope I don't mess it all up!
ReplyDeleteI have just been looking at your Italy pictures on your other blog. I want to go there!! So beautiful! Your son is quite handsome also!!
Sonia,
ReplyDeleteli um comentário seu sobre a blogagem coletiva da menina Flávia. Como a Odele marcou exatamente no dia 15 de Setembro, e como dia 15 é dia de TERTÚLIA VIRTUAL, resolvemos ter como tema neste 15 próximo: SOLIDARIEDADE.
Assim que quiser pode participar das duas blogagens, fazendo a inscrição dia 14 no TERTÚLIA VIRTUAL.
Espero que a SOMA de BLOGS demonstre na prática o que é SOLIDARIEDADE!
bjs
FLora is a sweetie!
ReplyDeleteDogs are such faithfull companions - Flora looks like a sweet dog. I guess it is good to give them recognition, especially when one sees how badly some people treat theiir dogs.
ReplyDeleteWe just have cats at the moment
eu havia me esquecido, e o Mario Leal me lembrou. Antes tarde do que nunca!
ReplyDeleteHOJE é o DIA DO BLOG.
Sonia, tem um mimo para você no Drops!
Bjs e bom final de Domingo!
I cannot believe I missed Nat'l Dog Day. Earl and Eudora will be furrious with me! I love the photo of sweet Flora and your husband loving each other.
ReplyDeleteSonia, meus parabéns à jovem Flora. Os animais merecem todo o nosso carinho.
ReplyDeleteAbraços, bom domingo.
PS - E o Ecological Day está firme, hein? 2 de setembro...
Que bonita que é a Flora!!!!!
ReplyDeleteEsses nossos amigos merecem toda a consideração.
