The Happy Wag

Oooooo, spooky!

Okay, I think we need to lighten the mood here at the Wag. It's been getting a little heated, and I think we all need to remember that pets are supposed to make us happy. My litter of critters almost always make me smile.

Well, I don't usually smile when my cat tap dances on me in my sleep when his food bowl is empty, but that's my fault for forcing him to remind me of my lack of service.

Anyway, here are a couple of photos that are making the rounds on the Internet. They brought a grin to my face; may they do the same for you.

Halloween is just around the corner...boo!

  4. Keep up the great work with your blog.
    Nice pictures.

    Pit Bulls will be around forever.
    You know when reports are being falsified that the haters don`t have a real leg to stand on.
    Ms Lynne(I mean "Betsy") is getting pretty steamed.

    Have a great day.
    You have a very good blog.

    This should set off alarm bells.

    [quote]Glad to see that others find that site as troublesome as I do. The author is not remotely interested in accuracy-I have sent several comments correcting 'facts' from having been on scene-and they never appear. So the author, when confronted by info that differs, just covers his/her ears and yells "La La La I can't hear you".
    The Aurora figures are typical. Dogbites cites 473 bites in the three years. I have the hard copies of the bite reports since I am testifying to overturn the ban-and there were actually 459 incidents. No big deal, just a few bites difference, eh? But sadder is the fact that I can look at these hard copy reports and literally see where the breed section has been whited out and, in a different pen and handwriting, had "Pit Bull" written in. And trust me, I am not a conspiracy buff-no little green men, no guy on a grassy knoll-but these are clearly altered. And even with the alterations, the numbers don't match the numbers they give.
    The bottom line: in Aurora, CO, Pit Bulls bit no more often, no more severely, than any other breed. And post ban, the numbers of bites have risen. Period. Effective my eye. Dogbites is nothing more than a hate fueled site with a clear agenda to warp the truth and destroy a breed of dog based on the authors personal feelings.[/quote]

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.
