“Ma…the meatloaf!!!” That just about sums up this holiday. How can you be lazy? There’s plenty that needs to be done – laundry, help with homework, dishes, making lunches for tomorrow. The list goes on! Moms are supposed to be invincible. Pretty sure the DCP moms sleep even less than the DCP workers! (Is it possible to get negative sleep?) “I never know what she’s dooooing!”
Other Holidays:
National Beheading Day – won’t be taking part in THAT celebration!
Did you know that nothing rhymes with “purple”? Don’t ask why. There’s no rhyme or reason! You can celebrate by noting words in the English language that one cannot rhyme. We challenge you! Here are a few: bulb, depth, eighth, filmed, gulf, wolve
Let the debates begin as you attempt to rhyme these words. This isn’t a rap battle – slant rhymes don’t count!
Other Holidays:
Calendar Adjustment Day – wouldn’t mind going back to June 1st about now!
Some pets have a tough life. Your days consist of eating, sleeping, and pooping. Forget G.T.L., pets have E.S.P. on lockdown! Unfortunately there are several pet owners who do not properly care for their animals. Proper grooming, exercise and preventative medicine are critical components of being a pet owner. Without these activities Jerry and Cassius wouldn’t be able to live the life of luxury they enjoy!
Other Holidays:
National Toasted Marshmallow Day – Mmmmm s’mores!
Frankenstein Day – FYI it was the doctor’s name, not the monster!
Birthdays & Remembrances:
Andy Roddick (29)
Cameron Diaz (39)

Warren Buffett (81)
Ted Williams (1918-2008)
Roland Hussey Macy (1822-1877) – founder of Macy’s
You know how fond we are of our puppies over at DCP. August 26th is their day! Move over Cesar Millan and make way for the DCP dog pound – it’s National Dog Day! Make sure you keep the treats handing and take your pup for plenty of walks today. A trip to the groomer may not be a bad idea either.
There are some notable puppies in the DCP family. Everybody knows and loves Cassius – Ben’s Bull Terrier. He holds down the fort in Schenectady and loves attention. Make sure you acknowledge him if you stop by the shop or he’ll never let you live it down!
Jerry
Jerry joined the family back in April. He holds down the fort in Boston. Jerry is a Mini-Schnauzer mix and tends to look like an old man if you don’t trim his beard and eyebrows regularly!
We know several members of DCP Nation have puppies they’d love to show off, so we encourage everyone to post a picture on our Facebook page and be sure to include the name. Maybe we’ll give away a prize to the dog with the most “likes” at the end of the day!
Over or Under?
Other Holidays:
Women’s Equality Day – commemorates equal rights on the day women across the nation were given the right to vote

National Toilet Paper Day – not sure where we’d be without this one!
Where do old t-shirts, sweatshirts, and pants go to die? They don’t die silly! Those pieces can be passed down to become part of someone else’s wardrobe. We celebrate hand-me-downs and second-hand clothing on National Second-Hand Wardrobe Day!
Other Holidays:
Kiss and Make Up Day – you can’t hold a grudge forever. Today is the day to kiss and make up!
