April 24, 2022 - National Pet Parents Day | National Pigs In A Blanket Day

Welcome to April 24, 2022 on the National Day Calendar. Today we celebrate the pets in our hearts and pigs in a blanket. Audrey Hepburn was one of the first celebrities to go everywhere in public with her dog. Mr. Famous, her Yorkshire Terrier, was along for photo shoots and Hollywood events. This wasn’t common practice at the time and it helped make pets seem more like family. When asked why her dog was always with her, Hepburn said “I walk my dog to keep me fit. I talk to my dog, which keeps me sane.” Pet parents everywhere can likely relate. There’s nothing quite like a furry friend to make you feel better at the end of a long day. On <a href="https://nationaldaycalendar.com/national-pet-parents-day-last-sunday-in-april/">National Pet Parents Day</a>, we celebrate the special bond between people and their pets.If you’ve ever paid attention to the party food that disappears faster than any other snack on the buffet table, then you’ll know: it’s pigs in a blanket. Why are these tiny hotdogs wrapped in dough so darned popular? Maybe it’s because they remind us of childhood: baseball games with our dad, or the time your family went to the state fair. Or maybe it’s because there’s some magic formula that makes eating a dozen of them feel better than downing a full-sized hotdog! On <a href="https://nationaldaycalendar.com/national-pigs-in-a-blanket-day-april-24/">National Pigs In A Blanket Day</a>, throw yourself a party and celebrate making these piggies disappear. I’m Anna Devere and I’m Marlo Anderson. Thanks for joining us as we Celebrate Every Day.
