If Pets Had Thumbs, Would They Read Across America?
Mar. 2 was the National Education Association’s Read Across America Day, held each year on the birthday of Dr. Seuss. The Seussical celebration kicked off a week of reading across the nation. As Dr. Seuss himself said, “You’re never too old, too wacky, too wild, to pick up a book and read with a child.”
Is it coincidence that the very next day marks a somewhat lesserknown holiday: If Pets Had Thumbs Day? We think not-and so, we offer our own Seussical take on the holiday worthy of a Seuss book hellip; with a Social Security twist.
If Pets Had Thumbs
Your pet may appear slower to some, but what could your pet do if it had a thumb?
Your pet may still use his mouth to eat, yet for playing ball he could use his front feet.
A dog who is happy may usually wag, but may find a ‘thumbs up’ less of a drag.
Dogs love to chase cars and sometimes a bike, but using a thumb, they may learn to hitchhike.
Let’s not forget cats, so light on their feet, who may open the fridge to find something to eat.
The cat in your fridge? Before you get bitter, consider, with thumbs, it could change its own litter.
Thumbed dogs and cats would grow ambitious, I’ll bet, and soon would be surfing the Internet. Typing and clicking and spending the day browsing the pictures at ASPCA.
You could put them to work doing something they love with a visit to socialsecurity.gov.
A golden retriever’s as good as it gets for retrieving a variety of estimates.
Our Retirement Estimator is where to send her if she has thumbs and can remember.
The place to go for the thumbed pet you love is our website: socialsecurity.gov.
Getting an estimate is very easy, so your pet can do it in one-two-threesy.
Thumbs are in style, but you won’t find a vet who can yet transplant one on a pet, I’ll bet.
So if you need a retirement estimate, we suggest you and your thumb browse the net.
With your pet at your side giving loyal, thumb-less love, pay a visit, yourself, to www.socialsecurity.gov.
