Celebrating your doggie on National Dog Day
Today is National Dog Day -- and what better day than to celebrate the special pooch in your life!
Our dog, Teddy, is a rescue Shih Poo that we've had for five years. Love him to death - him and his crazy shenanigans.

Baby hairs and white folks
You know. Cultural appropriation is a mug.
As many of us naturals go 'round these parts talking 'bout 'laid baby hairs' and now certain white folks discover it ... and it is a THING. Miss me with all of this, k? Elle UK magazine says baby hairs are a thing and folks go nuckin futs.
They profile Jennifer Lopez, Katy Perry and FKA Twigs wearing baby hairs at the Givenchy Award show.
Where they been?
What I see here ain't no baby hair -- at least not on Katy. It's just hair from the front of the head laid to the side. Next thing you know, you'll hear white folks talking about #teamedges and white folks will be checking for Ampro gel, a good wave brush and a Doo Rag.
I mean. They tried to mention TLC and the most infamous of all baby hairs - Chili. But this whole article is a fail and is shady, because calling baby hairs a "trend" is reaching. A lot. Especially when they write:
"The trend is by no means new. In fact, the origins of slicking down one's baby hairs is said to have started in the 70s (namely with Latoya Jackson). I had, however, forgotten about it until I came across FKA Twigs."
Just stop. It is clear they have no idea what they are talking about, below:
"Looks like I'll be growing out my bangs..." Ummm .... and you still won't have baby hairs, tho.
