All around Blogville today, people in the US will be celebrating the All-American Pet Photo Day (“AAPPD”). The Knuckleheads from the ‘Ranch’ are inviting all our fur-iends from around the world to join us today. What little I could find out about this latest calendar ‘howliday’ seemed to indicate the AAPPD was created…you guessed it, due to an algorithm (collected data pointed to an especially large number of pet photos being posted on social media platforms on July 11th). It’s a somewhat new-ish holiday, being created within the past few of years but it has always been observed on July 11th.
It is estimated over half of American households have pets, making it an easy to ‘pawticipate.’ Obviously, dogs and cats are the most popular pets, but those who have birds, fish, hamsters, guinea pigs, turtles, lizards, and other pets are encouraged to participate.
Although I celebrate these two characters every day, today will be an extra special opportunity to humble brag on about them on social media. So further ado, here are the ‘Ranch hands’ just for today. Do you plan to post an image of your pet-kid today? We’ll be looking for you on Instagram.
Live, love, bark! 🐾
Dang it! I missed showing of the Zeke-meister!
Ah well…
Yours, however, are absolutely lovely.
The good news is that we don’t need a special day to post photos of our fur-babies.
This be the truth!

I didn’t even realize it was All-American Pet Photo Day yesterday! I guess that was perfect timing on to post some mugshots of the pooches after a silent intermezzo 🙂
They say timing is everything-guess they were right! 😊
WOL!
Ohhh those are a couple of cool cats!
😸😸
I took pictures of a bunch of squirrels yesterday without even knowing about this occasion. And no, I wasn’t taking them for mug shots…
You’re always ahead of me, aren’t you? Bwahaha 🐿
Mom says your Ranch hands are just too adorable! Sam look so handsome and Elsa have such beautiful eyes. Great photos of them! 😀
Many thanks, Rambo. You are very kind. I’m kind of biased about the Ranch hands, but think they’re adorable.
Oh, you are not biased at all. Mom and I think they are just as adorable! 😀
🥰
Two gorgeous pups!!!
Woos – Lightning, Misty, and Timber
Thanks, they make me smile. Every day…much like you guys do for your mum.
The Knuckleheads are true ambassadors! …. and today I bumped into a place called Knucklehead’s Kafe.
Now that’s a place I’d want to hang out at!
Your knuckleheads are very photogenic and cute.
Aww, thanks. I rather think so too. 😍
Yup, they are guilty as charged! 🤣
I hit send too soon. Love the photos of your two adorable knuckleheads. ❤️🐾from me and my knucklehead gang.
😍🐾
Didn’t learn about the holiday until I looked at my Pet Blogger’s editorial calendar………..can’t keep up with all of the holidays!
As if we need a holiday for this! 😍
Those are great pics if your 2 babies. I post enough pictures of mine that I’ll pass on today, but I hope lots of folks who don’t, that they take this day as a special opportunity.
It’s not like I need a(nother) special day to post pics of the Knuckleheads. But any old excuse, right? 😍
Oh! My! doG! Both pix are great, but the look in Elsa’s eyes! Very similar to the look I get from Ducky. ❤️❤️❤️
And in Elsa’s case belies the fact she’s a bit of a pill! BOL
I won’t let them take my picture today. I’ve been moulting and I look bedraggled.
I’m sure you look wingtastic.
Adoreable photos.
Thanks, I’m glad I’m not the only who thinks so. 😉
We lost our baby in 2015 and hubby says no more. I wish we had a furbaby but we don’t. I’ll just enjoy yours.
Have a fabulous day and weekend. Scritches to your pups. ♥
Always happy to share my fur-kids with the world. Sorry you lost your baby in 2015. It’s always so hard, the loss and the absence is heartbreaking. Hugs to you.
🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬…neither objective nor claiming to be…
Fabulous pics of your Poodle loves! ❤️🐩
Us poodle moms are kinda biased. 🥰
❤
😍
awe!
😊
Great photos of the 2 of you!
Thanks!
Our kind of holiday! Beautiful pics of Sam and Elsa 😀
Thanks. Just another day in the life of these social media stars! Bwahaha!
It’s hard being so good looking…
Haha! Yeah, I probably need to work on Sam’s self-confidence. 🤣
Thanks! I’m sorta, kinda biased but I think they’re ever so slightly adorable. ☺️
They sure are!!
The girls are gussying up now having just learned of AAPPD in anticipation of a photo shoot at some point. Dad’s schedule will dictate participation.
Yeah; we’ll keep our paws crossed Dad can fit a nice photo shoot into his busy day. 📷
that are fabulous photos… we have a mischief photo today on insta… well… like always… hahaha
Ooh, can’t wait to check it out!
