This really made me smile. I saw this dog sitting in a pick up truck with the owner at a gas station outside of Whittier Alaska.

National Pet Day
Happy National Pet Day! As you can see, my three have decided that it’s the perfect day to stay in bed. That is, until they figure out it’s food time!
Does your dog have a heart on?
