Ahoy, me hearties! Thursday, September 19, is National Talk Like a Pirate Day, where scurvy-ridden landlubbers put on hats and eyepatches and say “Arrrr!” a lot.

Dogster’s piratical pups are invited to get in on the fun with Bark Like a Pirate Day, the canine version. And to celebrate, we are offering a free Jolly Roger gift in the Dogster Gift Store — but only for today.

So swab the poop deck and make one of your mutineering mutt friends happy by sending them some treasure. And don’t furget to tag your photos with “pirate” to join the Bark Like a Pirate stroll!
