DIANE'S CORNER .. Celebrate Pet Day
People love pets. They’re some of the most excellent companions’ people can have and make a living each day just a little bit better.
However, for the animals who don’t have homes, many people don’t realize the benefits of adopting a pet. Even those animals who are old can become some of the greatest gifts in life.
Pet Day celebrates the joy that pets bring into peoples lives and encourages people to help reduce the number of animals in shelters. Bringing humans and animals together helps make the world a better place.
Learn about Pet Day
For me, a house or an apartment becomes a home when you add one set of four legs, a happy tail, and that indescribable measure of love that we call a dog.
Roger Caras
Pet Day may as well take place every day for most pet owners. After all, we all recognize the love and joy that animals bring to our lives, and we make sure to let our pets know how much they mean to use. From cats and bunnies to chickens and dogs; no matter what pets you have in your home, Pet Day gives you the perfect opportunity to hug your pet more and let him or her know how much they brighten up your life. For most people, a pet is the best friend they will ever have! At the end of the day, you’re never going to find someone more loyal than a pet, right?
Have you ever wondered what the world’s most popular pets are? We are sure that it does not come as a surprise that dogs are the most popular, followed by cats! But, what comes next? Well, you have fish, and then birds. After this, hamsters, gerbils, mouses, horses, and snakes complete the list of the most popular pets.
History of Pet Day
Pet Day began in 2006 when Animal Welfare Advocate Colleen Page decided she wanted to celebrate the joy that pets bring into people’s lives. As a Pet & Family Lifestyle Expert, she wanted to celebrate all pets.
Advocating for the adoption of pets from animal shelters, she brainstormed the holiday to create public awareness for the animals awaiting homes in shelters. According to the ASPCA, approximately 6.5 million animals enter animal shelters every year.
The number of animals entering shelters has been significantly decreasing over the years. But there’s still a significant number of animals entering and being euthanized due to shelter capacity and lack of awareness.
Page hopes that these numbers can continue to decrease with the celebration of Pet Day. Encouraging adoption as a first choice is one of the main ideas behind Pet Day.
This is especially true in regards to those who are thinking about purchasing a pet from a breeder. On this day, people are encouraged to love their pets, spoil them, adopt pets, and volunteer at the local animal shelter.
Pet Day celebrates the unconditional love that animals give to people in their daily lives. It also encourages people to take the time to spend time with their beloved animals.

If You Were Born Today, April 12
You are a very bright and interesting person. Your thoroughly unique spin on life is generally appreciated by others. You possess a certain amount of poise that earns respect, but you can also be very humorous and playful when the mood grabs you - and in fact, you can be quite moody and sometimes difficult to truly get close to. You are capable of making great sacrifices, and you recover quickly from reversals of fortune. Famous people born today:

What Is The Biggest Way You’ve Changed Since You Were A Child? In What Way Are You Still The Same?

Question: This Pan American airplane belonged to my father, who passed away at age 83 in 2001; the plane has hung in a bedroom ever since. Wing to wing, it measures 27 inches; nose to tail, it is 21 1/2 inches. The wooden wheels still turn, as do the propellers. What can you tell me about this piece?
Answer: Production of airplane toys took off when American aviator Charles Lindbergh flew solo from New York to Paris nonstop in 1927. A host of toy companies made cast-iron aircraft during the Depression era. Louis Marx and Company produced this less-expensive pressed-steel airplane based on the DC-4 in the 1940s. There's also an American Airlines version. Although the surface of your plane is dull and possibly rusty in spots, it's good that the propellers, wheels and decals are intact. Auction prices of these planes range from around $150 to $280 or more when in excellent condition and the airport staircase is included.

Question: This old bugle is etched with "Official Bugle of the Boy Scouts of America" and is hand-engraved with "Troop 81." How old is it, and what is its value?
Answer: The official bugle of the Boy Scouts of America is based on the standard U.S. Army cavalry trumpet known as the M1892 pattern, as specified by the Quartermaster General's Office of the War Department. Rexcraft, a company in Brooklyn, N.Y., began distributing bugles to the Boy Scouts of America in 1919. An undated magazine ad claimed that Rexcraft was the world's largest maker of bugles and 60,000 horns had been sold to Boy Scouts. Better-quality bugles were made during the 1930s and 1940s by instrument manufacturers such as Conn, Wurlitzer, Holton and Ludwig. Official Boy Scout bugles from the first half of the 20th century usually sell at auctions for $50 to $60. This horn's distressed condition reduces its worth.
