Washington’s Birthday (2/22/1732) is a U.S. federal holiday celebrated on the third Monday in February. In the 1970’s Washington’s Birthday was changed to Presiden’t Day, a holiday occasion to celebrate the birthdays of both President Washington and President Lincoln.
"Owning a dog is not just a privilege; it’s a responsibility. They depend on us for, at minimum, food and shelter, and deserve much more. When you take a dog into your life, you need to understand the commitment that dog ownership entails." ~ AKC
