The Happy Wag

Oh you sexy beast!

With only a few days left until the big gift exchange, I was trolling the Internet for something new and different for the pet stockings.

And what to my wandering mouse clicks did appear? Perfume for dogs.

With a quick spritz, I can turn my sweet little pups into "sexy beasts."

Sexy Beast is a fragrance created especially for dogs. The product description on Amazon says it is a blend of "bergamot and vanilla-infused musk combined with natural patchouli, mandarin and nutmeg oils." Sounds delicious, except for the patchouli, which always reminds me of Grateful Dead concerts and lava lamps.

The fragrance comes in a distinctive black, bone-shaped bottle, and it is touted as hypo-allergenic with a low-alcohol formula made specifically for a dog's sensitive skin and sophisticated sense of smell.

My dogs sniff butts. Not really sophisticated

At $50 for 1.7 ounces, plus expensive, expedited shipping to get it before Dec. 24, this is a pricey little stocking stuffer.

When our pooches get a little smelly, we usually just give them a bath. Then they have the aroma of a fresh-cut fruit salad with undertones of vanilla ice cream and wet dog.

What will Santa slide into your pets' stocking this year?

Foster homes for the holidays

The Roanoke Valley SPCA is participating in the national “Foster A Lonely Pet For the Holidays” pet fostering program.

Over 13,000 pet rescue organizations nationwide are trying to empty the kennels for Christmas, encouraging families to open their home for the holidays to an adoptable pet waiting for a forever home.

Fostered pets can be picked up between December 18-23, and can be returned to the RVSPCA between December 30-January 2.

The RVSPCA will provide all needed supplies and support to the temporary families. You can view all of the pets online at www.rvspca.org, or visit the shelter to meet them.  The goal is to have each of these pets into a home by noon on December 23.

Ann Marie Sweeney, foster coordinator for the RVSPCA, will answer questions about the program for people interested in making this Christmas a happy holiday for a pet in need.  Contact Sweeney at 344-4840, ext. 208 or e-mail asweeney@rvspca.org.
