A lot of teacher-authors read my Ask a Tech teacher. In this monthly column, I share a popular post from the past month from my writing blog, WordDreams
Good efriend Terri Webster Schrandt reminded me of National Love Your Pet Day last year on her blog, Sunday Stills. I’ve waited all year to add my own celebration!
According to National Today Calendar, February 20 is Love Your Pet Day. As if we need only one day to love our pets.
“On February 20, we celebrate National Love Your Pet Day, a day to embrace one special trait that makes us human: our love of our pets! There are many things that differentiate humans from the rest of the animal kingdom, but one of the more unusual behaviors is our longstanding tendency to keep other animals as pets. Gallup reports that sixty percent of Americans are current pet owners.”
To celebrate, here’s my slideshow of my dog, Casey. Feel free to attach links to your beautiful pets in the comments so we can visit!

I just read a science article about 26,000 year old fossils found showing a dog or wolf with a young boy. That would be moving up the domestication of dogs from 15,000 to 26,000 years. Maybe that was Ump.
I love that. My folks currently are 75,000 years ago, but really, why wouldn’t they find food among upright mammals if they could? Sorry for the late reply!
