The Happy Wag

The blogger gets the last word

Enough is enough now.

What started as what I thought was a nice story about wine bottles bearing the faces of the dogs that were rescued from Michael Vick's illegal dog fighting operation has turned into a long, rambling thread about pit bulls and breed specific legislation.

That in itself would be okay, if the discussion wasn't being dominated by people with very specific agendas. I think this rhetoric has ceased to be informative and now we just have people sniping at each other.

So, I will no longer approve any comments on this topic. Find another platform, Betsy. Your free ride here at The Happy Wag is over. My blog, my rules.

We now return this blog to readers who like to read and share information about pets.

  1. Thank you Nona. I didn't mean to get preachy but that lady was insulting my furkids! And we all know how important our furkids are!

  2. It's all good, Erin. My protective instincts were kicking in, too. I just think it's time to move on.

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.
