We are so touched by the outpouring of love we’ve received in the past few days. The heartfelt posts, phone calls and messages from producers to a top fan and forever friend in Australia, emails, texts, many cards, flowers, fruit, cookies…oh, I could go on and on. The words of kindness, compassion and inspiration are helping our grief. I will be compiling them all so that you’ll be able to read them too. It’s a testament to the life of Dagger.
Thank you everyone!
You’re the best friends in the world and we treasure you so much!

Eddie is a pure breed. He’s a full Labrador Retriever.

“Happy Eat a Red Apple Day!
I love apples.
Mom peels them and gets rid of the core of the apple. The core is not good to eat. Then she cuts the rest of the apple in small pieces and gives them to me as a snack. Apples are a great source of vitamin C, vitamin A, potassium, and antioxidants. They’re chock full of fiber which helps maintain a healthy weight while assisting in digestion.
So eat an apple a day. It just might keep the doctor away!”

“Do you like apples?
I do… my human mom peels them and cuts them in small pieces for me to eat. Apples are really good for your health as well as your dogs. Just remember not to eat the core of the apple and if feeding to your dog … go slow at first.
Just a couple of pieces will be fine for the first try.
Today we honor the man who made apple trees grow all over the USA.
His name is Johnny Appleseed.
Happy Johnny Appleseed Day!”

"Today is a very important day for your pets.
​It's Pet Fire Safety Day!!
Even though I am a furry four-legged family member I feel as much a part of my family as any other member. This day stresses the importance of protecting me and all other pets in your care. Taking preventable measures now can both save your home and your pet. And there are times when pets can cause a fire if our masters don’t take the proper precautions.
Below are some Pet Fire Safety Tips:
**PET FIRE SAFETY TIPS
🐾Extinguish open flames. Pets are curious and certainly not cautious. Wagging tails haphazardly knock over candles. Curious kitties will paw at sizzling grease, quickly sending a kitchen up in flames.
🐾Remove knobs from the stove. When not in use, they will not accidentally get turned on.
🐾Consider flameless candles for ambiance and backup lighting in the event of a power outage.
🐾Replace glass water bowls with metal or plastic. Outside on wooden decks, they can heat up and actually start a fire.
🐾Store leashes and collars near the entrance of your home. When away, have your pets in the main living area for easy rescue.
🐾Secure young pets when away from home. This can help avoid fire hazards. Pet kennels or in a pet-proofed room are options.
🐾Fire alert window clings help firefighters identify the room your pets are located and identify the number of pets in the home. Add one to the window of the room you keep your pets when you are away. Keep it updated with the number of pets residing with you and your current phone number.
🐾Have a plan when you are home. Know which family members will be responsible for each pet.
**(Taken from the National Day Calendar)

A smile is a morale booster as well as a confidence builder.
Smiles are worth their weight in gold.

“🇺🇸Happy National Flag Day 2022🇺🇸
Do you know who is credited for stitching the first American flag?
🇺🇸Betsy Ross🇺🇸
Do you know how many stars are on the current American flag?
🇺🇸50 stars🇺🇸
Did you know that since 1777, the design of the flag has been officially modified 26 times? For 47 years, the 48-star flag was in effect.
​Then in 1959, it was modified twice by President Eisenhower…

once on July 4th and then again on August 21st.
Just a little trivia on this special day.
Mom loves to teach me this FUR-bulous stuff!
Have a happy day!!”

"I have a WOOfderable announcement to make.
It's a FUNraiser taking place at Grand Avenue School in Bellmore, NY
to benefit St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.
The Theme is "Impractical Teachers."
My human Aunt and Uncle, Meghan and Denis Dagger,
are teachers at the school...
If they raise $1,000 individually, they will be "penalized." The penalties range from dressing like a clown for a day of school to getting a pie in the face and many others. The students are very excited at the prospects of these pranks. Any donation to help reach their goal would be PAWsome!
The Fun Drive will take place until March 11th, 2022.
I'd LOVE to see my human Aunt & Uncle
​walk around the school dressed like a clown...
Let's make this happen! I'm IN!!

​Today’s message is from the Dagger Family:
It is with tremendous sadness that we let you all know that Miss YaYa went over the Rainbow Bridge yesterday. As devastated as we were to let her go, we are reminded of the blessing she was to us for close to 11 1/2 years. YaYa entered our lives as a Puppy in Training for CCI. After being released from their program, YaYa went on to be a Therapy Dog for Therapy Dogs International (TDI). She also achieved the AKC Good Citizen Award. She loved doing her therapy work. She went to Sunrise Senior Living and played “Horse #2” in their Horse Race Games with her pals Maggie Lou, Tye, Princess Penny and Barney. She went to MacArthur Airport where she greeted in coming travelers and brought happiness and calm to the passengers who were waiting for their flights. She was involved in the “Read to Me” Program at libraries. She was on News 12 numerous times as their model dog for their Pet Segment. Posing with Lea Terrell was a highlight of her appearances on the show. She went to Long Island University-CWPost to help the students during finals week. She sang the BEST Happy Birthday Song ever!!! And most importantly, she was “Mommy Muse” to Dagger. Sitting by his side as he painted, she encouraged him and supported him in all of his work. As a Puppy in Training, YaYa got to meet Betty White. Betty kissed YaYa on the top of her head...we left her lipstick mark on the top of her head for days after that!! YaYa loved life. She was a happy, wiggly sweetheart who will be missed by many people and doggie friends especially us; her family.

This morning she seems totally blind. We are planning to see her oncologist to maybe see if a treatment of chemo will help. Please keep her in your prayers

🍐 “Can dogs eat pears?🍐 
The answer is...a resounding...
​YES!!!

We are sooo woofin’ happy we can eat pears.
In fact, pears are a great snack because they are high in copper, vitamins C and K, and fiber. Mom says just make sure you remove the pit and seeds first and cut the pear up in bite size pieces. We love pears!🍐”

“Acknowledging the good that you already have in your life
​is the foundation for all abundance.”
~ Eckhard Tolle

🐾🐾 News from Yvonne regarding Miss YaYa 🐾🐾:
About 3 weeks ago YaYa was diagnosed with Uveitis & glaucoma in her right eye. After extensive care and medication her eye was not getting any better. So, to keep her comfortable and pain free her eye doctor
and our excellent doctors at the Park Animal Hospital-NewYork
​decided that the eye needed to be removed.
Yesterday, after being admitted by Catherine Aguis
and Victoria, she was operated on by Doctors Jim, Jane, Holly and Steve at the Park Animal Hospital. Reports from Doctors Holly, Steve, Jim & Jane were all positive. They said that she’s doing well. Doctor Jane even let me talk to her over the phone. She said that when YaYa heard my voice her tail began to wag. We are forever grateful to everyone at the Park Animal Hospital for the many years of excellent care for all of our dogs. I would guess that you already know that our dogs are our babies. The doctors and staff at the Park Animal Hospital know that too and love each one as they are their babies too. The compassion and care they give goes above & beyond what one would expect from an animal hospital. Please keep Miss YaYa in your prayers🙏🏻 Thanks❤️

who became an inspiration for the modern-day Santa Claus.
You see, St. Nicholas was known for selling all of his possessions
and giving the money to the poor.
He dedicated his entire life to serving the sick & suffering.
Many people and animals live their lives using St. Nicholas as an example of what it means to reach out and give to others from their hearts.
​Yesterday, Miss YaYa and I received a gift left by our door from Rico Lockwood, Ellen & Barbara, too. They are true examples of how St. Nicholas lived his life.
Thank you again for the gifts of Benebones.
