23rd of March sees us celebrating both National Puppy Day and Cuddly Kitten day.
NATIONAL PUPPY DAY’S goal is to not only celebrate the offspring of man’s best friend but to encourage people to adopt puppies. It was also founded to create awareness of, and put an end to, the cruel practice of puppy mills and farms, and encourages people to “Adopt. Don’t Shop.”
Here are some interesting facts about puppies
Puppies spend up to 20 hours a day sleeping, which helps develop their brain, bodies, and immune system. Eat, sleep, repeat springs to mind.
Puppies are toothless until they are about 4 weeks old. Their hearing and vision aren’t fully developed until this time as well.
Researchers have discovered that looking at pictures of puppies can actually help you focus better.
Puppies start their canine vocalization at around 3 weeks of age, with full barks at around 16 weeks.
They have all their adult teeth by the time they’re 6 months old.
CUDDLY KITTEN DAY
Kittens are social animals and enjoy the company of humans, which makes Cuddly Kitten Day a perfect holiday because on it we give kittens extra cuddles and love. Today, people cuddle and play with their own kittens, as well as the kittens of others. These cuddly kittens can be shown love in other ways as well, by being given treats and new toys.
