NATIONAL HOMEMADE COOKIES DAY
If you are looking for an excuse to bake some homemade cookies, eat some homemade cookies, take homemade cookies to work or to the neighbors, today is your day. October 1 is the annual celebration of National Homemade Cookies Day.
Can you smell them now? It may be chocolate chip, peanut butter, oatmeal raisin, monster, sugar or any one of the many homemade cookies baking in the oven that gives the home the wonderful aroma that makes your mouth water.
Many of us have wonderful memories of coming home to warm homemade cookies waiting for us with a glass of cold milk or going over to Grandma’s house to a plate of fresh homemade cookies on the kitchen counter. Those are wonderful memories that bring smiles to our faces.
NATIONAL HOMEMADE COOKIES DAY HISTORY
Within our research, we were unable to find the creator of National Homemade Cookies Day, an “unofficial” national holiday.
NATIONAL FIRE PUP DAY
In the United States, Dalmatians are commonly known as firehouse dogs.
National Fire Pup Day is celebrated each year on October 1. This day is designated to recognize our canine firefighters, the four-footed members of the fire department.
It all began when the use of Dalmatians as carriage dogs was transferred to horse-drawn fire engines. In the days of the horse-drawn fire carts they provided a valuable service, having a natural affinity to horses. The Dalmatians would run alongside the horses, in front of or beneath the cart axles and cleared the way for safety. Even though the horses are long since gone in the fire houses, the Dalmatians, by tradition, have stayed.
The Dalmatian today serves as a firehouse mascot and is sometimes used to educate the public in fire safety.
Dalmatians are often chosen, as a pet, by many firefighters in honor of their heroism in the past. Click on the photo for some great fire pup stories!
