We're celebrating National Hat Day.
Dagger DogVinci used to wear a Red beret whenever he painted.
Now Picasso wears a navy blue beret whenever he paints.
Barney has a light blue beret that he wears
whenever there's a photo opportunity.
Hats can be a fashion statement, a symbol of a military
or official position and can even keep us warm on a cold winters day.
Dagger and Picasso's hats are a symbol of their
profession as working canine artists.
Wear your hat proudly today!!

Today is National Dress Up Your Pet Day!
If your pets don't favor dressing up,
give them the day off from that
and just pamper them with a lot of hugs and kisses.
Both Picasso and Barney don't mind dressing up. In fact, they like it very much!!

It's always so great to look back at the super wonderful events we are a part of. Especially when the MC's were
Brittany Bell and Heather O'Rourke from ABC7 Eyewitness News.
Picasso painted during the event and
the painting was then auctioned off at the event!
What a wonderful treasured memory!!

Looking at treasured memories is always such a beautiful thing to do.
These photos are of the day Barney entered our lives on April 15th, 2023.
We agreed to "just" foster him.
BUT...as soon as he arrived he placed his head on my lap and that was it!
He was adopted on the spot!!
Many thanks to Beth Marzo (the President of FFLI)
Forgotten Friends of Long Island and Chris McCormick
for making this match made in heaven!!
We are forever grateful!!

it's sure to be good and wonderful!

When we think of the word hero we think of people and animals that are stronger, smarter, kinder and more than the average.
While that is true, they're the people and animals that are very rarely recognized for their accomplishments .
Heroes come in many forms. They can even be your pets!
They rescue us, inspire us, and most of all, they believe in us.
Here are three of my heroes...Dagger, Picasso and Barney.
Who are your heroes?

Just a little kindness brings a lot of happiness!
Today is "Do Something Nice Day."
According to the National Day Calendar:

So what are you waiting for?
Go ahead...
use your superpower of kindness and make someone's day!!

Lifting others up through the power of unconditional love is what most of us aspire to. It's just that there are times when we find it hard to love unconditionally. For me, during those times of uncertainty, I look at Picasso and Barney...they remind me of what unconditional love really is!
Have a great Tuesday, everyone!! xoxo Yvonne

It was so delightful to see a fan of Dagger's who purchased a painting in 2016 come to the Hallockville Country Fair yesterday. When she bought Dagger's painting she was single. Almost 10 years have past and she is now married with two children. She said that she tells her children all about Dagger and now Picasso. It brought tears to my eyes!

Today we hang our felt hat and celebrate it!
Dagger DogVinci always wore his red felt beret whenever he painted.
Picasso wears a blue felt beret when he paints now.
All of their hats were created by Ann Barile.
On National Felt Hat Day history tells us that men and women wore hats as protection and status symbols.
Dagger & Picasso's hats are a symbol of their artistic talents.
Wondering why there's an airplane wing on the red felt hat
hanging on the Book "An Artist in Paris?"

Today we remember all of the innocent people who tragically lost their lives in 1993 while America was attacked.
I remember that the day like it was yesterday...it began beautiful.
The sun was shining in a blue sky.
Then I got a call from my daughter who at the time had an office very close to the World Trade Center. She was screaming and crying.
What she saw has left her with lasting horrible memories of that day.
We will NEVER EVER FORGET what happened
and we will always honor the victims who perished on that day forever.

Happy National Teddy Bear Day!
The Teddy Bears that Picasso and Barney are playing with were Dagger's.
You may still have a teddy bear from your childhood.
Today we honor the history of the teddy bear.
According the National Day Calendar, in 1902, President Theodore Roosevelt refused to shoot a bear cub. A cartoon of the event was created and shortly thereafter a NY store created the new toy with President Roosevelt's approval to name it the
"Teddy Bear."

Today is Work Like a Dog Day.
This idiom is meant to encourage us to challenge
ourselves to be the best we can be at anything we do.
Picasso is not only an artist he is also a
Canine Companions trained Certified Therapy dog.
He works like a dog whenever he paints
and brings love and joy to everyone he meets.
Barney also works like a dog...
while Picasso is painting he watches and is the best little muse in the world!!

Do you have a mixed breed dog?
Well, if you do, today is the day to celebrate them.
Really, I think we should celebrate them everyday.
But, today we shed an extra light and sparkle on them.
Both Barney and Picasso are mixed breeds.
Both are breeds of love. Barney is seventeen breeds and Picasso is two breeds.
Many people call these dogs "Mutts." I call them "Love."
Have a great day and celebrate your "Love" today!
Happy NationalMutt Day!!

When dear friends loose a pet we grieve with them.
Our hearts go out to them. We want to take their pain away and hug them.
We are reminded in our grief that
Love Leaves a Memory of Happy Times and Joyful Moments.
We were so sorry to hear that our dear friend Sandra Bergin lost her Best Friend and Companion, Casper.
Pictured below is Casper just where he loved to be...in the ocean going for a swim. Casper loved the ocean.
Sandra was one of Dagger's Top Fans.
Living in Australia, Sandra and Casper have kept in touch with us over the years.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to Sandra during this very difficult time.
xoxo The Dagger Family

Happy National All Or Nothing Day!
According to the National Day Calendar:
"Everyone has at least one thing that they would like to overcome, need to do or want to do but might be fearful or hesitant to do so.
This is the day to go ahead and do it, take that first step and go for it."
When Picasso began his painting career over a year ago now, he seemed fearful and apprehensive at first. Taking the first step was the hardest. But, as time passed he grew to like painting. It really makes him feel successful.
He's truly an inspiration to me!!
Have a great Saturday everyone!!

It's refreshing and relaxing all at the same time.
It only takes seconds for this to happen.
We really all have this beautiful gift if we remind ourselves that we can be someone to someone else. Our smile...Our reaching out. ..Our compassion. ..for others. It takes seconds, but can mean all the time in the world to those who experience our love.
Today is "Be Someone Day."

On Friday, during our therapy visit, Picasso received a little plush toy from the Sisters of St. Dominic. At first, I didn’t want him to take it from Sister until Sister said that she had it just for him! What a pleasant surprise!!

In fact, all over America it's extremely hot.
Whether you're a human or a pet, staying hydrated on these hot summer days is very important and critical to our well-being.
So...Drink plenty of fluids and make sure your pets get plenty of fluids as well!.

We love to take "selfies" (which is now a word in the Oxford Dictionary).
It's a moment in time captured by a click of the smartphone camera.
Taking selfies with our pets is not only fun it can become down right silly at times! So, go ahead, take a selfie today...with or without a pet.
Happy National Selfie Day!

When people ask me about Picasso's life,
they want to know what he does when he's not painting or doing his therapy work...Well, he lives a very normal doggy life with his brother, Barney.
They play, run around and sleep all over each other!
Have a great day, everyone!

I'm so grateful to Ann for her friendship and her willingness to teach this old dog something new. Ann taught me that learning new things is a good thing!!

Taking your children... whether they're furry and not so furry...
to work is a great way to teach them a skill that you may have.
It's not hard for me to take my furry pals to work with me since our studio is right in our home. I truly believe that as they watch me, they're getting inspired to create in their own ways. By taking your children to work you too are giving them an opportunity to learn what it's like to be in the workforce.

Yesterday Picasso and I went to Wantagh Middle School where
Wantagh HS students held a Cohen Strong Project.
It was structured to introduce the Middle School students to caring for their mental health.
Held in the gym, four HS students from the "Morgan Message Club" set up areas in the gym where the Middle School students visited to learn coping skills and how to de-stress. Some of the areas were music, therapy animals, what stresses you, and how to learn to cope with the stress you encounter. Morgan was a student at Duke University who sadly committed suicide. She was an athlete and an accomplished artist. As a tribute to Morgan and to bring awareness to the mental health of the students,
we were invited as a therapy dog team.
It was a beautiful day.
Picasso was a welcomed addition as an example of how animals can help manage stress.

and supporting those who feel alone." ~Taken from Google

Here's a glimpse into our world in the studio...
Our Painting Sessions usually last for about 45 minutes.
I find it hard to take a video while directing Picasso.
But, I will be able to take a still photo of him while he's painting.

Love is when you meet someone that makes your life happy and woofderful. This is Joan. She makes me so happy.
I met her at St. Rose of Lima Church when I became a Therapy Dog for
Canine Companions. I see her almost everyday at mass.
Joan purchased the very first painting I sold.
Because of Joan I was able to donate to charity.

Sometimes to see progress...

If we look really hard, it's may be right in front of our eyes.

Reaching out to others in kindness is a way of showing the world that you care. Random acts of kindness take courage and selflessness.
Take time today to spread a little kindness...
even if it's to tell someone you love them❤️
If we all did just one act of kindness, the world would be such a better place.

Today is a great day to catch up and finish all of the things
that you need to before we ring in the New Year.
For us it would be things like;
Did we finish munching on the old Benebone? (so that we can get another)
OR
Are our medical records up to date
(that's for our Hooman's to do, but it's great to remind them)
AND
Of course, the most important,
Do we have enough food to get us through the New Year festivities!
Happy Tick Tock Day!

The only thing we know about Barney is that he is 17 different breeds and was found wandering the streets of Georgia. Although Barney's roots seem to be diverse and muddled, he's a really cool dude!
Picasso's roots are much clearer.
Picasso was born into the Canine Companions family in Santa Rosa California. His mom's name is Dawn V and his dad's name is Quinn V.
It's really amazing how much we can tell from our roots...
if we just delve into our history and ancestry.

That gives her such comfort.

Meeting award winning author, Laura Greaves, was such an honor.
Laura traveled from her home in Australia to the USA on a Churchill Fellowship to do research on the transformative power of animal-assisted therapy and its potential impact on the lives of children in foster care.
There's nothing more exciting than hearing her stories and being inspired.

Can you take a guess what day it is today?
If you guessed National Sock Day...You're right!
We went through a great deal of work to get these socks on our paws and legs.
At first we wanted to play with them and then we wanted to eat them.
But, we learned a lot about socks.
Mom told us that beloved Tommy TuTu used to eat socks...all of the time!
We also learned that they keep hoomans warm and add style to a wardrobe.
After this photo was taken, the socks can off and we got treats!
It was so worth the effort!!
Happy Wellness Wednesday, everyone!

Giving to those in need is just one thing we can do on Giving Tuesday.
We can also lift others up by being extra kind, nice, and caring too.

Guess what?!
Today is National Mutt Day.
We are both mixed breed dogs.
Our forever family adopted us and gave us a loving home...and each other!! One of us is 2 breeds and the other is 17 different breeds! Can you guess which one of us is 17 different breeds? If you guessed Barney...you're right!
National Mutt Day provides an excellent opportunity to find the perfect canine companion...even the fur babies that are tons of different breeds.

It was a most gratifying visit.
So many smiles.

that they’re getting a well balanced diet.

Apples are a great fruit to feed you dog in moderation.
Picasso loves them, Barney doesn't like them at all.
Barney looks at an apple with fear and uncertainty. I'm not sure if he just doesn't like the scent of an apple or the looks of it,
but it's clear that it's something he's definitely not fond of.

Yesterday we had the utmost pleasure of meeting the family
of beloved Buddy Mercury.
We’ve known each other for years now but never met in person.
It was PAWsitively magical.
They brought us some very special gifts.

Picasso is working on a new painting! He loves creating!
What are you creating today on this Create Saturday?
Creating can include anything you do that causes you to bring into existence something that you make or design.
It's something requiring art, skill, invention, writing, cooking...on and on! Whatever you do enjoy every minute.
Let your imaginations soar to unbelievable heights!
Happy Create Saturday!

Picasso, Barney and their fur pal,Teddy,
are just relaxing on a beautiful sunny day.
It's a great day to slow down and take a little time to sniff the roses, the flowers, the grass, the trees and whatever your little nose wants to smell.
It's a day to think about taking care of ourselves and relax!

Kindness is when others consider your feelings and communicate with you. Sometimes it just takes reaching out and connecting with that person. Reach out to someone today!

He loves reaching out to people.
He feels so connected to everyone he meets.

the Fox tells the little prince "
It is only with the heart that one can see clearly;
what is essential is invisible to the eye.”
He says that the most important things in life are non-visible.
Love, truth, and the soul or essence of another living being are all essential things that the eyes cannot see but the heart will know and understand.
Love makes a person responsible for the beings that one loves."

They can be small things or big things.
Nevertheless, they're there.
But having you next to me makes all my fears fly away.
You give me courage and confidence. I'm brave because of you!!
I love you!
❤️🐾❤️🐾
🐾Barney was frightened by the noise of the fireworks on July 4th. It was so sad to see him so fearful. Luckily, Picasso was not affected by the noise which sounded like a war zone here where we live. I just wish that people would begin to consider the animals that get scared and confused by the loud sudden noises from the fireworks. I read on social media from a writer that perhaps instead of purchasing fireworks, people should buy bags of dog food for the shelters in their area thus making a difference. I think that's a great idea. What do you think?

"We love green beans as a snack and mom puts a few Garbanzo beans in our food. Good news—most beans make the list of human foods that dogs can eat safely. With more protein than grains, these legumes are packed with vitamins and minerals that are healthy for dogs’ dietary needs (as well as your own). But not all beans are created equal. For instance, while green beans can make a great snack for your furry friend, baked beans and refried beans should be avoided because they include extra ingredients that can make your pup sick. And make sure that the beans you feed your dogs is salt free and cooked."

"Where we live, in the Northern Hemisphere,
today is the first day of summer🥰
We were told that it's the longest day of the year! Wow!!
That means that we have more time to have fun.
The National Day Calendar says,"With the Summer Solstice, the astronomical calendar marks the first day of summer as the Earth's axis is pointed toward the sun. It's rays more directly impact the Northern Hemisphere giving us more daylight and more warmth. It's a time when plants grow rapidly and animals are more active. That includes humans."
So get out there and enjoy the day!!"

you can volunteer by helping at your local shelter in many ways!

"Woof! Woof!
Look at my bro Picasso paint!
He's doing such a great job.
I'm so proud of him.
If you're wondering where I am while he paints...
well, I'm either on the couch playing with a toy or standing right next to him.
It's always a fun time for all of us!!
Happy Create Saturday, everyone!
What are you creating today?

Our human mom did.
She wrote it in a book about a dog we have heard a lot about and can still sniff his scent in our house. Many of you know him as well.
Today is National Tell A Story Day. It's a great day to tell your own story. Storytellers express themselves from real life experiences.

It's a fun day to High Five everyone you see!
Picasso is High Fifing mom.
I'm looking on because I'm still learning how to do a High Five!
Picasso seems to get it real well...

"Today is National Haiku Poetry Day. The National Day Calendar says, "Haiku poetry is a form of Japanese poetry that is non-rhyming and usually consists of 3 lines with a syllable pattern of 5-7-5. Usually, an element of nature, a season, a moment of beauty, or an individual experience inspires haiku poems. Sensory language is used to capture a feeling, image, or moment."
Can you create a Haiku Poem? This is the one that I created.
Have a great Wednesday, everyone and remember to be good to YOU!

When something is meant to be, it always works out!
We didn't know that we'd be brothers a year ago.
In fact, one of us was still awaiting to be rescued and the other was awaiting the next step to becoming a service dog.
Now we are madly in love with each other
and can't picture life without each other."

Keep them indoors and provide distractions ...you know like throw a ball in a room or plan a fun calm activity. We're going to go into the studio and paint! Above all create a calm environment. Watch for signs of distress.
Mom bought these Solar Eclipse Glasses just for us to wear in this photo.
We're definitely going to be staying indoors today!
Whatever you do stay safe!!

Have some funner rest today!!"
These birthday bandanas were hand made by Carmela Kundrath.
She was a very special person to our family. Carmela created quilts and many other hand made beautiful things well into her 80's.
She was an inspiration to everyone she met. It was an honor to know her.
She's most likely smiling down from heaven knowing that her bandanas are being adorned by Barney & Picasso.
