Puppy cam

How do you keep an eye on a litter of adorable puppies?

Make them stars on the Internet.

A San Francisco couple set up streaming video so they could watch their six Shiba Inu puppies play, sleep and bascially be absurdly cute all day while they are at work.

And the rest of us can get in on the fun too.

Pictured here in a stock photo. Shiba Inus are an AKC breed, very handsome dogs, similar to an Akita and native of Japan.

Click here to see Puppy Cam, which you can conveniently keep open all day in a pop-up window on your computer. The pups may not contribute to your productivity, but they will relieve daily stress.

You may want to turn the sound down on your computer. The little pooches do squeak, yip and bark sporadically, and thus can blow your cover if you have a boss that, well, let's just say isn't a fan of puppy voyeurism on the clock.

Me? I am not too worried. My boss sent me the link. She may not appreciate it, however, if I count this as training hours.

  1. I love Shiba Inu's!! I used to want one until I found out how much they cost and that there weren't any local breeders in my area. We ended up with our stray mutt Cali instead which worked out better anyway. She came into our lives at a time when both she and my husband needed each other so we weren't meant to have a Shiba Inu. They sure are cute though!

  2. What a fun webcam!

    If you like the breed but don't want the challenges of puppyhood, check out Jersey, a four-year-old Shiba Inu available for adoption at the League for Animal Protection. There's more information about her at http://www.lap.petfinder.com.

  3. This is too cute. My dog is older and I'm sure if I had a camera on her all day it would just be watching her sleep. :)

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.
