5th August: NATIONAL WORK LIKE A DOG DAY

On August 5, National Work Like A Dog Day encourages us to press forward and meet any obstacle that comes our way. However, if you seek to your dog for guidance, you may become confused.

“It’s a dog’s life” refers to dogs being able to laze around and sleep all day. Most dogs are companions. As members of our family, their biggest worry when the next vet visit is. On the other hand, “work like a dog,” suggests just the opposite. It means working to your maximum ability for an extended length of time.

It may be a dog-eat-dog world out there, which can force you to work like a dog even during the dog days of summer!  Today, pause to appreciate the hard workers who inspire (or in some cases, frustrate) you. There’s no other day like this one so stick around because we’re sharing some fun ideas for the hard-working canine in you!
