May the luck of the Irish be with you!

Hi again,

It's March! Can spring be close by?

With the warmer temperatures, comes the mud! I just hate waiting by the door to get my paws cleaned! But I guess it's the price to pay to enjoy being outside! Pretty soon flowers will start to emerge and birds will be singing with all their hearts! What a great time of year!

Some important March Dates

March 1st - Ohio became the 17th state in 1803

March 6th - Italian artist Michelangelo, born 1475

March 15th - Julius Caesar assassinated 44 B.C. (Ides of March)

March 17th - St. Patrick's Day! (Aren't we all Irish today?)

March 20th - Spring Begins (Yippee!!)

March 21st - Johann Sebastian Bach, German composer, born 1685.

March 29th - Cy Young, American baseball player, born 1867.

Most important! Did you know that March 23rd is considered National Puppy Day? So, if you know of anyone that has recently gotten a puppy, make sure you celebrate! Plus don't forget to send me a photo of that new puppy, I'd love to add him to my site!

Now for my joke of the month!

What do you call an Irish Setter with a lucky streak?

A four-leaf rover!

The Irish Setter is a great family dog. They will get along well with children, other dogs and any household pet. They are an active breed and require long daily walks and really enjoy running off lead in wide open spaces. However, they are a breed with a tendency to 'play deaf' so careful training is a must. Geez, mom never says I'm deaf... she just says "I'm not listening!" Maybe, just maybe, I'm part Irish Setter too, they are not the breed that will attack an intruder, unless you count on the intruder being licked to death!

May all your wags be happy!

Love, Fido
