ANIMAL  'HOWLIDAYS'




Jace Shoemaker-Galloway has been a freelance writer for over 10 years.    While she has covered many topics including technology, online safety, breaking news and the environment,   her favorite topics are holidays and animal-related stories. 

As the "Queen of Holidays,"  Jace has written more than 1,000 articles covering  traditional and non-traditional to downright wild and wacky  holidays.    Although the majority of her work can be found online, she has had two newspaper columns and was also a regular guest on a radio segment as well. 

Get out your handy-dandy calendar, folks.  The following animal-related "howlidays" are the cats meow! While some holidays are tongue-in-cheek, others help raise awareness about important animal-related issues.
