Happy Tuesday!
This past weekend was great! Saturday I went
to PetSmart! I got a new toy and now I'm so fresh and so clean! Sunday I had to
sit in the car for a hot minute during Julie's soccer game, but then I got to
go for an awesome walk! I walked on ice for the first time, sniffed a bunch of
new smells, and marked my territory over little bitch dogs! We Ready! We
ready! We ready! For Y'alllllll! What time is it? Game time! What time is
it? Game time! There's a dog in the house, woof woof! Sunday was also
full of football and some movies.
Monday was MLK day. For those of you
that don’t know, Martin Luther King, Jr. Day is a United States federal holiday marking
the birthday of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther
King, Jr. It is observed on the third Monday of January each year,
which is around the time of King's birthday, January 15. The floating holiday
is similar to holidays set under the Uniform
Monday Holiday Act, though the act predated the establishment of Martin
Luther King, Jr. Day by 15 years.
King was the chief spokesman for nonviolent activism in the civil rights movement, which
successfully protested racial discrimination in federal and state law. The
campaign for a federal holiday in King's honor began soon after his assassination in 1968. Ronald Reagan signed the holiday
into law in 1983, and it was first observed on January 20, 1986. At first, some
states resisted observing the holiday as such, giving it alternative names or
combining it with other holidays. It was officially observed in all 50 states
for the first time in 2000.
Today I will leave you with my favorite MLK quote.
“I have decided to stick with love. Hate is too great a
burden to bear”
