OMG, Sunshine, I knew someone with a dog named D.O.G. but I didn't realize what it was, for years I thought his name was Dioge.  I felt soooo stupid when I finally realized.  Our first dog is named for Kelso from That 70s Show, hubby wanted to name the second one Hyde but it sounded totally stupid if you tried to call it... "Here Hyde, come Hyde"  I mean, really

[b]It's EARTH DAY in the USA!!

Earth Day is an annual event, celebrated on April 22, on which day events worldwide are held to demonstrate support for environmental protection. It was first celebrated in 1970, and is now coordinated globally by the Earth Day Network, and celebrated in more than 192 countries each year.

Founded in 1970 as a day of education about environmental issues, Earth Day is now a globally celebrated holiday that is sometimes extended into Earth Week, a full seven days of events focused on green awareness. The brainchild of Senator Gaylord Nelson and inspired by the antiwar protests of the late 1960s, Earth Day was originally aimed at creating a mass environmental movement. It began as a “national teach-in on the environment” and was held on April 22 to maximize the number of students that could be reached on university campuses. By raising public awareness of air and water pollution, Nelson hoped to bring environmental causes into the national spotlight.

There's also an Urban Legend that the Founder of Earth Day killed his wife and made compost out of her ..... believeable .... or not.

Here in the USA, teachers often band together and a school will plant a tree!

What will YOU do today for Earth Day?????

My plane leaves at 6 am.  We should probably leave for the airport by 4.  Not a very good night's sleep.  Temp up there tomorrow is a high of 48, only 47 on Friday.  It's 10:15pm here and in the low 70s.

I think their eyes are just opening. And right now if they are the same as Winston they were kind of dark bluey.  All three of my berners had brown eyes but all quite different.
