Oh, I would love seeing them play like that. I bet it is so cute. I just came from Facebook where I came across a pic of one of my nieces puppies in her new home. It's the one she called Tess. Anyway, she🐶 has found a new chew toy outside. She🐶 has discovered the trimmings from horses hoofs. A very nasty toy. Some of her🐶 moms friends were warning her not to let her🐶 eat it sense she🐶 is still a puppy. Or she would be up half the night with a sick puking puppy. There are just somethings puppies shouldn't have no matter how cute they are.

September 4th: National Wildlife Day, National Newspaper Carrier Day, National Macadamia Nut Day, and National Another Look Unlimited Day.

National Wildlife Day is an opportunity to learn more about endangered species, preservation and conservation efforts around the world. Zoos, aviaries, and marine sanctuaries provide a variety of ways to get involved. From participating in presentations and volunteering to fundraise for rehabilitation services, these facilities have something for everyone to learn. Colleen Paige, the Pet Lifestyle Expert, and author founded National Wildlife Day in 2005 in memory of wildlife conservationist Steve Irwin. The day serves to bring global awareness and education concerning the number of endangered animals and the need for conservation and preservation.

Around the country, we honor the newspaper carriers who owe their start to an enterprising young immigrant in New York City over 180 years ago. As the tradition gradually fades, the history becomes no less fascinating. According to a captioned photo released by the Museum of the City of New York, it was on Septemeber 4, 1833 that publisher, Benjamin Day, hired the first paperboy, 10-year-old Blarney Flaherty. Flaherty answered Day’s advertisement for The Sun which had specified “steady men” could apply, but impressed by the boy’s sincerity, Day gave him the job. Down on the corner, Flaherty could soon be heard hawking his sales pitch. It would soon become a universal chorus of boys (and sometimes girls) calling, “Paper! Get your paper, here!” There is a Newspaper Carrier Hall of Fame, started in 1960, created to acknowledge some famous newspaper carriers in our nation’s history. Included in the Newspaper Carrier Hall of Fame are Martin Luther King Jr., Warren Buffet and John Wayne.

Macadamia nuts, with their rich, buttery taste, are known by many to be one of the most delectable of all nuts. They originated in Australia and are named after physician and chemist, John Macadam, who encouraged the cultivation of the nuts in Australia. Macadamia nuts are grown on trees resembling large evergreens and grow to 30 to 40 ft. high. Although they are native to Australia, most of today’s world supply is grown in Hawaii. They were first commercially grown there in 1921. A few other places, such as Indonesia, South Africa, Central America and California also cultivate some of these tasty nuts. Macadamia nuts are delicious when eaten raw and also when used in baked goods, especially cookies! They are also known for their health benefits. Like many nuts, macadamias are a rich source of energy, high in dietary fiber, gluten-free, high in mono-unsaturated fat, an excellent source of minerals and contain many important B-complex vitamins.

National Another Look Unlimited Day! Have you collected more things around your house and need another “spring cleaning”? National Another Look Unlimited Day would be the perfect day. Spring cleaning meets Fall cleaning. National Another Look Unlimited Day is a day dedicated to taking a look around your house and ridding it of the excess of things you have accumulated but no longer need or want. It’s time to clear out the closets. Purge the attic. Donate toys and clothes. Tidy up, clean up and put to use those items that have a purpose. Don’t just trash it, though! Many items have multiple uses. Repurpose an item that is no longer being used for its original job. Old cribs have been repurposed into arts and crafts centers. Broken dressers into books shelves or wine racks. Your trash may be someone else’s treasure. Donate or sell it so someone else can give it new life.

I love learning about wildlife, any wildlife, any day. In town they don't have a newspaper boy hawking papers on the corner but there is a newspaper boy...excuse me...a newspaper girl delivering papers no matter the weather. I don't care to much for macadamia nuts. My closets always need a spring, summer, fall and winter cleaning. How do we accumulate so much in such a short amount of time.
