July is Packed Full of Animal Love July is bursting at the seams with animal celebrations- from bison and belly rubs to orcas and mutts. In fact, it's so packed full of animal holidays and festivities, we're splitting it into parts. So go grab a treat (yes, one for you and one for your dog), mark your calendars, celebrate the animals in your life, and get ready for Part 1 of this wild ride. Week 1: July 1-7 Dog House Repair Month Time to fix those leaky roofs and squeaky doors- your pup deserves a palace, not a patch job. Bonus points if you decorate it like an Airbnb for squirrels.   Tip: Add a SpiritHoods faux fur throw for the ultimate canine luxury. Until The Sale Is Over National Bison Month Honor the mighty Bison - America's National mammal and a sacred symbol in many Indigenous Cultures. Big, fuzzy, majestic. Basically the VIP of the prairie National Lost Pet Prevention Month Tag your pets, chip them, and double-check those fences. July is the highest month for pets running away (thanks, fireworks). Don't let your furry Houdini pull a disappearing act. Pet Hydration Awareness Month Drink up! (And no, we don't mean iced lattes.) Hydration is just as important for pets- especially in this heat. Toss an ice cube in the water bowl and watch the party begin. Wild About Wildlife Month Week 1: July 1-7 From echidnas to orcas, July is all about celebrating our wild neighbors. Take a walk, visit a wildlife center, or just stare lovingly at a squirrel in a top hat. We hear they're in season.   July 1 - American Zoo Day Celebrating the opening of the first U.S. zoo in 1874. Shout-out to the animal caretakers who keep things roaring, chirping, and slithering.   July 1 - ID Your Pet Day Take this as your sign to check their collar, update that microchip info, and maybe get them a fresh tag that says "I ❤️ snacks." With their name and your phone number, of course.   July 4 - Independence From Meat Day If you're going veg-curious, this is a great day to try a plant-based BBQ and toast to the animals. July 7 - National Koi Day Peaceful, mesmerizing, and absolutely crushing the pond game. Show some love to these living watercolor masterpieces. Week 2: July 8-14 July 10 - National Kitten Day Do we even need to say more? Fluffy paws, biscuit-making, motorboat purring… celebrate accordingly.   July 11 - All-American Pet Photo Day Break out the stars, stripes, and fur! It's the perfect excuse to post that glamour shot of your hedgehog in aviators. July 14 - Shark Awareness Day They're not the villains- just really intense swimmers with boundary issues. Help raise awareness about shark conservation and how crucial they are to ocean ecosystems. July 14 - World Chimpanzee Day Honoring our brilliant, curious, emotionally complex cousins. Maybe don't invite one to your backyard barbecue- but do learn about their conservation.   July 14 - World Orca Day Celebrate these highly intelligent apex predators (who happen to coordinate outfits better than any dance crew). Whew! That's just the first half of July, and I'm already winded (and I once outran a hawk carrying a sandwich). As always, I'll be back soon with Part 2, featuring more paws, claws, and jaw-dropping animal celebrations.   In the meantime, Nutasha and I are busy planning our wedding on a budget (she wants dandelion centerpieces, I'm leaning toward acorn-stuffed mushrooms- compromise is hard). So while she's tasting bark samples for the cake, I'll be gathering more animal news to keep you wildly inspired. Stay hydrated, tag your pets, and tell a bison you admire its beard.    See you next time for Part 2 of The Weekly Nut: July Animal-palooza Edition! The "Lover of Holidays" Squirrel   Wait… Really? You're already looking for the Unsubscribe. button? Well, just know we have a pigeon army, and they WILL find you. But go ahead… Hit that button and see what happens.
