"People starting using it as a forecast for how their day was going to go and I leaned into it. We all need a little positivity right now.”
If Noodle, 13, flops down, it’s a “no bones” day and people are advised that it may be wise not to take any chances. If he stands, it’s a “bones” day, giving people the idea they can go out and face the day with confidence and maybe take a few risks.
That's not to say that "no bones" means it will be a bad day, though.
“A bones day is a day where you just have to go after your ambition or a task you were outing off. A no bones day is a day when you just permission to wear soft clothes, self-care, take a bath," Graziano said.

“It’s been overwhelming. Again, it’s been so positive," he said. "I get mentions from people who say they it was a ‘bones day’ so they decided to propose to their partner. They put a down payment on their house. “A woman the other day said it was a ‘bones day,’ so she bought a lotto ticket and won half a million dollars.
Why are dogs’ noses so wet? Dogs’ noses secrete a thin layer of mucous that helps them absorb scent. They then lick their noses to sample the scent through their mouth.
Graziano is just happy that he and Noodle can help spread some cheer.
