American Tag Day
Tag, you're it! You could certainly celebrate today by running around and playing tag. It's beautiful here in Ohio! But the origins of American Tag Day are in animal shelters. In a study that included over 1,000 animal shelters across America, over the course of three years over 1 million dogs and over half a million cats were taken in as strays (tame animals taken in, not dropped off). Only 15% of the dogs and 2% of cats were ever reunited with their original owners.
So no I'm not going to go on some PETA rant, or link you to an ASPCA commercial. This is just a friendly reminder to make sure your animals are tagged, just in case it ever happens to you and your pet. Also... seriously. Go play tag. It's a beautiful day
