Happy Wednesday!! 😀 IT'S NATIONAL SHELTER DOG MONTH!🐶
Creator | C. Knighten

I can literally say I love all creatures....though, there are a few I am not fond of.....snakes....spiders....sharks? But the real truth is that of all of God's creatures.....I Itruly love dogs!!

Witht that shared.....there are approximately 3.3 million dogs that will enter our shelters nationwide this year alone! This number is based on statistical data provided by the ASPCA.

Dogs are much more than a statistic....behind these numbers.....there are loyal companions waiting for a fresh start, many with yet to be explored potential! That is why we encourage you to consider adopting a shelter dog to change their life and yours, too!

BENEFITS OF ADOPTING A SHELTER DOG:
🐕🐩BETTER HEALTH AND A FURRY CONNECTION:
Daily walks mean more movement and social time for both you and your pup. In fact, the American Heart Association recommend you get a dog to..... lower your blood pressure, reducecholesterol, and decrease your triglyceride levels. Research has also linked dog ownership to a 24% reduction in all-cause mortality and lower cardiovascular risk!
🐕‍🦺BUILT IN PATIENCE:
Learning your new friend's unique personality teaches daily mindfulness....and caring for another creature beyond yourself is very gratifying.
🐩VET BACKED CARE:
Shelters partner with veterinarians to heal and rehabilitate dogs before they go home....to ensure that you are getting a healthy new fur friend!!

Whether you are ready to adopt or considering adopting in the near future....you can still have a positive impact in your community by volunteering at your local shelter or by offering to foster a well deserving pup! 🐶

Have a great day!!😀

Happy Monday!! 😀 IT'S NATIONAL VETERINARY TECHNICIAN WEEK!!🐶🐱
Creator | C. Knighten

There are many positions that we may not be aware of....and Veterinary Technicians is one of the coolest!! Who wouldn't love to work with furry friends on a daily basis? I know I would....

This years theme: "Endless Compassion, Expert Care; Celebrating the Soul of Veterinary Medicine", pretty much says it all! . From early morning treatments to late-night emergency check-ins, monitoring anesthesia, calming nervous pets, and being the rock of vertinary clinics across the Valley, vet techs are like Animal Superheroes!!

Thank you for your skill, your patience, and your giant hearts. We couldn't do any of this without you! ❤️

Have a great day, and be sure to 'thank' your fur babies techs for the awesome care they give them!!😀

This weeks' punny sign from Vince The Sign Guy - Real....is twice as 'groanble' as usual! 🤔😝 Yes, we love sharing these "Dad style jokes" to help your Friday go by a little faster.

As you know, I have been using Halloween themed punnies, most of them are from Vince's collection .....and this one caught my eye....his play on words....is a very strange gift indeed! RE- MEMBER.....UGGH...it is horrible...I admit...but, I love🥰 it!

As for Mary Shelley's remarkable tale of Dr. Frankenstein....yes, it is a great story, however, I must admit that I prefer one of the following:
📽️Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein or
📽️Mel Brooks, black & white parody, Young Frankenstein!

Both get my vote for great movies to watch, with the first being awesome for kids...the second one has a couple of inunedo's that parents might not deem appropriate. They will topple our 'tickle box' and have your family laughing with all the silly antics......and my all time favorite catch phrase:

Marty Feldman, playing the character Egor...but he is Igor in this....and Gene Wilder, the amazing Dr. Frankenstein, asking him about the brain he acquired....and he says....I don't know...Abby somebody. You mean....Abby Normal.....????🤪🤣

We hope you will share this far and wide....and mostly that you will have a great Friday and a wonderful weekend!!😀

Happy Wednesday!!😀 IT'S NATIONAL DESSERT DAY!🍨
Creator | C. Knighten

It's middle of the week, and sadly....we are hot again!! As with all things....this too, will pass. However, as you can see....it is also Natinoal Dessert Day and Desserts....just happen to be a favorite!! Just for fun....let's look at Strange and Unusual Dessert Facts!🤔

🍨STRANGE & UNUSUAL DESSERT FACTS:
💊MEDICINAL MARSHMALLOWS:
Ancient Egyptians origiannly boiled the sap of the mallow plant with honey and grains, and used it to soothe coughs and sore throats!
🍫ACCIDENTAL COOKIES!
Ruth Wakefield broke up a Nestle Semi-Sweet Chocolate Bar into her cookie dough when she ran out of bakers' chocolate. She thought the pieces would melt....instead, they kept their shape and she accidently created Chocolate Chip cookies!!🍪
🧚‍♀️FAIRY FLOSS?
Surprisingly, that super sticky, pink stuff on a stick....cotton candy, was actually invented by a confectioner, John C. Wharton and his friend, William Morrison....the local dentist! 👩‍⚕️

🍨DESSERT DANGERS?🧐
🍮TAPIOCA PUDDING: Casava flour is used to make tapioca pudding, and it contains cyanogenic glycosides. If the root is not peeled and thoroughly cooked or soaked properly, it can release lethal amounts of cyanide. 🤯😳
💥BOOM! Just like custard powder, powdered starch is highly explosive, when suspended in the air. A spark in a flour or custard mill.......may trigger catastrophic dust explosions! 🤪

There are lots of great places to enjoy a yummy dessert here in town, from the Chessecake Factory, to Pizelles, La Etoile Patisserie, Oscar Moon's, Big Spoon Creamery and soo, many more! Share your favorite below ....so others can enjoy!

There aren't many occasions you get "to have your cake and eat it, too", but today....is the day!! 😀😋

Happy Wednesday!!😀 IT'S NATIONAL BREAST🩷 CANCER AWARENESS MONTH!👨‍⚕️
Creator | C. Knighten

Among women in the United States, breast cancer remains the most commonly diagnosed cancer. According to the newest American Cancer Society data, an estimated 321,910 women and 2,670 men will be diagnosed with invasive breast cancer this year, making up nearly 1 in 3 of all new female cancer diagnoses.

While incidence rates continue to edge up slightly.....particularly among women under 50.....there remains great hope! Thanks to early detection and advanced treatment options, the death rate has dropped by more than 40% over the last few decades, and the overall 5-year survival rate stands at 92%.

When breast cancer is caught early in the localized stage, the 5-year relative survival rate is over 99%! Knowing the facts, performing self-exams, and staying on top of scheduled screenings...truly saves lives.

🎗️ BREAST CANCER STATISTICS:
🩷NEW CASES-WOMEN: ~321,910 invasive and ~60,730 non-invasive (DCIS) cases.
🩷NEW CASES-MEN: ~2,670 cases, proving that breast cancer affects men too.
🩷LIFETIME RISK: 1 in 8 women (13%) will face a breast cancer diagnosis in their lifetime.
🩷THE POWER OF EARLY DETECTION: 66% of cases are caught early, where survival is at its highest.
🩷GROWING COMMUNITY: There are now more than 4.2 million breast cancer survivors living in the U.S. today.

WHAT YOU CAN DO!
👩LEARN YOUR BODY: Check for unusual changes, lumps, or skin differences.
👩‍⚕️TALK WITH YOUR DOCTOR: Discuss your family history to understand your personal risk.
📲SCHEDULE SCREENINGS: Annual or biennial mammograms are typically recommended starting between ages 40 and 45.
😃KNOWLEDGE IS POWER. Share this post to spread awareness, and remind someone you love to prioritize their health today.

One important fact I have learned this year....two fold: Cancer does not care about your age or health, and paying attention to your body 'NOW" is of the utmost importance. Please schedule your screenings as soon as you notice anything unusual.....your life depends on it!

We wish you a great day! 😀

Happy Monday!! 😃 IT'S WORLD TEACHERS DAY!!👩‍🏫
Creator | C. Knighten

Today we celebrate those often overlooked individuals.....teachers! Inside every school worldwide there are those amazing people who chose a career in education, because they simply had a love of learning!

So, on this day we honor the extraordinary educators who do so much more than teach from a textbook. They are mentors, champions, safe havens, and the spark that ignites lifelong passions. From staying late to help a struggling student to buying classroom supplies out of their own pockets, their dedication knows no bounds. 📚🚀

To every educator guiding the next generation:
Your patience builds confidence.
Your belief creates leaders.
Your heart for learning inspires others!
You don’t just teach lessons.....you shape the very fabric of our future. 💡💛

Behind many successful people....there was a teacher who refused to let them give up....refused to let them down, and helped the reach the next rung on the ladder. 🍎✨

Is there a teacher who inspired you....someone who wouldn't let you quit on yourself....give the a 'shout-out', let them know how much you appreciate their dedication!! 😀

I don't know about you, but I honestly look forward to Fridays.....for combinations of reasons! First, while it is the end of the work week....it is never the end of work....lol! I am certain there are many business owners who feel the same. Still....I can look back at the week, review the work completed ....and feel good about what I have accomplished.🤓

This weeks' punny from Vince The Sign Guy - Real.....is another one of his classics!! I am certain that he is a sucker for a great 'Dad Joke'.....no doubt!! So, the bigger question is.....Do you know the history of the Compass?🧐

It was first invented in China during the Han Dynasty between the 2nd century BC and 1st century AD.

EARLY HISTORY & ORIGINS:
🥄FIRST USE:
The earliest primitive compasses were made from lodestone (a naturally magnetized iron ore) shaped into spoons, called sinan.
🔮ORIGINAL PURPOSE:
They were not used for travel. Instead, fortune-tellers and practitioners of "feng shui" used them for geomancy, divination, and aligning buildings with spiritual energy.
👇SOUTH-POINTING:
Unlike modern compasses that point north, these early Chinese instruments were oriented to point south.

NAVIGATIONAL TRANSITION
🧭NAVIGATIONAL USE:
It took about a thousand years before the technology was adapted for travel.
⛩️SONG DYNASTY:
During the 11th century (Song Dynasty), Chinese scientists developed magnetized iron needles used for military and maritime navigation.
🛳️GLOBAL REACH:
The navigational compass spread to the Islamic world and Europe by the late 12th and 13th centuries, revolutionizing open-sea exploration.

While a compass🧭 may not seem like a "Modern Marvel' .....when you realize that people navigated both the ocean and land by using the stars for 3-4,000 years...it gives you a new perspective on how valuable a compass truly was! ....Um....as long as you didn't try to use one while navigating the Bermuda Triangle....that is!🤣

We hope you have a great Friday, a wonderful weekend and remember, we are here for all your signage needs!! 😃

Happy Wednesday!! 😀 IT'S NATIONAL CHEWING GUM DAY!!🍓
Creator | C. Knighten

There are many inventions that came to be as a 'by product' or mistake turned frutiful, due to trying to resolve other problems or invent useful products. For example, Dr. Spencer Silver, at 3M, tried to creater an incredibly strong aerospace adhesive, and instead ended up with one of the World's favorite inventions......Post-It Notes!

Interestingly enough in 1860, chewing gum was created as a by product of another experiment. Thomas Adams, an American inventor and photographer, was workting with chicle from Mexican sapodilla trees, initially trying to vulcanize it into rubber. When that failed, he turned the 'error' into chewing gum. Later in 1871, he launched, 'Adams New York Chewing Gum', paving the way for the modern gum industry!

Why were these amazing products discovered......like the Microwave Oven, X-Rays, Super Glue, Silly Putty, The Skinky, and another one that has saved people worldwide... penicillin? Well......the bottom line.....because the inventor was paying attention to the error!! The key here......never give up....while you may have a goal in mind....never discount your mistakes or 'by-products' they become worldwide sellers!!😃😎

We wish you a great day and grab a pack of chewing gum.....I mean, honestly...when was the last time you blew some bubbles with your kids?? 😁
