Back in March some of you were dressing your dogs in green for St. Patrick's Day. I mentioned to a friend that I wished there was a Portuguese holiday that my dogs could celebrate. She said her dogs would celebrate it with us. That stayed in my brain and grew.
I Googled Portuguese Holiday (what did we ever do before Google) and discovered the perfect holiday. According to Google: "The 'Day of Portugal' is a holiday celebrated every year on June 10th in every corner of the Portuguese- speaking world. It commemorates the death of the revered Portuguese poet, Luis Vaz de Camoes in 1580." I am not familiar with his poetry, but I'm sure he won't mind sharing his day with some beautiful and talented dogs from around the world.
Originally I had planned to make bandanas and send them to all our doggy friends. I even purchased a bolt of fabric. When I started calculating how many bandanas I needed to make and what it would cost to send them out, I made a slight change in plans. I asked everyone to wear blue bandanas, but as time went on and the pictures started coming in I changed that to anything blue and I'm so glad I did.
Here are our bloggy doggy friends:

If you're wondering why Persephone, Buster and Ms. Bailey Blue aren't wearing blue. It's because they're Kerry Blue Terriers. They are blue.

Pee-ess.....Mum has just realised she could have taken individual photos of us ALL wearing the blue bandana.....d'oh!
They are all sooooooooooo cute!!!
I'm cross with myself as I meant to take part with Meg and forgot! Stupid!
What a wonderful post!! Thank you so much for doing this, and we are so happy to be a part of Blue Bandana Day. So nice to see all your friends from all over the world.
This was really nice to view. I bet it took a lot of work to put up here on the blog. Thanks for making the effort, this was a lot of fun to participate in!
Awww.... I love this! All of dogs look so cute in their blue. For sure, let's do it next year..... It's wonderful to be able to celebrate a Portuguese holiday with you.....
What a great job, Sue! All the pups look so cute. Maybe next year Bo the White House Portie will join us!
Wow! You worked so hard on this...I guess I sent the wrong picture sorry about that. I know purple isn't blue ;) Thanks for doing this, how fun to see the parade of pups!!
What fun Sue, you did a wonderful job, thank you so very much.
It was great seeing all those beautiful little ones wearing their blue bandanas. Thank you for including my Mitzi, that was so sweet of you. I can hardly wait til we do it again.
Hugs,
Kathy

Love the photos - what wonderful babies everyone has!
What a great post... and my how many friends, all over the world! So cute and what fun to see. Love Thor in his cap... and the pup from Mass sporting a B's hat! :)
LOVE it! I'm so sorry Gretchen was the rude one of the whole planet, showing her...
This was SO much fun. It's an annual tradition now, right?
Great photos - I loved that all the Missouri dogs had the same bandanas - I'm glad Washington did too! The kitty was an expected surprise. Miss Sissy looked less than impressed, didn't she? How many different families do all the dogs represent? g
After work today I will visit each site. What a cute idea, Sue!!!
What fun! Thanks for organizing Blue Bandanna Day! Everybody looks great in their blue duds!
The post is so coooool! Thank you for letting us join you!
Lots of Kisses from Portugal!
Rufus and Indie
What a wonderful collection of friends you have! I was gratified to see the kittycat included; I've had cats who were sure they were dogs, too. Happy Blue Bandana day with big calm hugs from Thor.
So sorry Lucy and I missed this. Next year we'll join for sure!
What a great lineup of your doggy friends from around the world.
AWESOME!! Friends-friends everywhere!
Looks great, so nice of you to put in everyone's links!
Those doggies look so beautiful with your blue bandanas!
Lovely pictures!
Blue Bandana Day was a wonderful idea! I enjoyed so much be part of this celebration! Lots of fun! Thank you!
Thor xoxoxo
Oh mama this is the best post ever! I can't wait to make tons of new friends. Thanks so much for doing this. It's awesome!

I love the picture of Mitzi with all the dogs. It never occurred to me to include Oribel. Well, it still doesn't because she hates stuff on her neck and would probably shred and/or bit the hand that feeds her if I tried to put a bandanna on her. Maybe she will mellow out a bit more by next year.
YEA!! They're all ADORABLE!! Look at them all!
Obviously, we FAILED at finding blue things. Had you asked for pink, or purple, we'd have had no issues ;0P heehee
Maybe NEXT time!!
Wow..fabulous pictures! Love all of them!
we do like BLUE... it's our last name! we'll have to put it on our calendar lots of fun seeing all the blue ones.
theBUSTER Blue, Ms.Persephone Blue, & Ms. Bailey Blue too (aka) Ms.Bluezee, Bee, theBeezer..etc etc..
I LOVE all the pictures!!
I want to play next time.
