December 2: National Fritters Day, National Mutt Day, and National Special Education Day,

🍁National Fritters Day! Fritters come in a variety of forms, from morsels dipped in flavorful batters to bits of dough stuffed or filled with delicious surprises, all of which are deep-fried and served hot with dips, drips or dustings of seasonings, sweets or sauces. Found in cuisines all around the world, fritters are believed to have first been consumed by Ancient Romans who then introduced them to Europe. Most commonly filled with fruit or cheese, they can also be filled with savory meats, seafood and vegetables.

🍁National Mutt Day encourages us to embrace, save and celebrate mixed breed dogs. Millions of healthy mixed breed dogs in shelters across the United States are waiting for someone to come and adopt them. National Mutt Day provides an excellent opportunity to find the perfect canine companion. Despite the name, a mutt learns, obeys and trains much like purebred animals. While their lineage cannot be traced and their features a bit murky, their companionship will be faithful. Celebrity Pet Expert and Animal Welfare Advocate, Colleen Paige, founded National Mutt Day in 2005. This day is celebrated on both December 2 and July 31 of each year.

🍁National Special Education Day marks the anniversary of our nation’s first federal special education law which was signed by President Gerald Ford on December 2, 1975. This law is the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). IDEA made education available to all American children and this day honors the progress that has been made in special education. National Special Education Day was first celebrated in 2005 which was the 30th anniversary of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act.

I haven't had a fritter in I don't know when. This reminded of how good some of them are. All pets need love no matter what breed they may be. I have a cousin who teaches special education. She taught in a class room for several years but decided to teach through the K-12 program this year.

Look what had to follow her momma to the barn this morning threw the puddles from where it rained all night. A bath followed.

Sending hugs to all!🐶🐶💕🍁💕🎄
