November 16th is National Slobber Appreciation Day! This is the day that we give a little extra love for those floppy-jowled, drool-loving, tail-waging faces who show us every day that love is messy, joyful, and full of enthusiasm!
Why celebrate? Because slobber can = honest excitement. Dogs can drool when they’re happy, anticipating treats, zooming around, and just being their goofy selves. 
Slobber appreciation day started in 2012 by a devoted owner of big slobbery breeds (hello, Newfies!) to honor the charm of dogs who drool and to push back against the idea that drool is a “problem.”
