The Happy Wag

Your face here

You may have noticed that there is a little space next to each comment for a photo. It drove me nuts figuring out how to get the photo attached to the comments, but thanks to Jim, one of our multimedia gurus here at the Times, I was finally added my mug shot.

Well, it's not really my mug shot. It's my Facebook profile pic. I have never been photographed by the police. Never. That I am aware of, anyway.

[Begin shameless cyber plugs: Send me a friend request on Facebook, if you like. And follow Happy Wag on Twitter. We now return to the blog entry.]

I would love to see your smiling faces. And if you comment on other blogs (I promise I am not the jealous type) then your face will follow you to any blog software that attaches mugs to e-mail addresses. Just go to gravatar.com and follow the instructions.

It's quick, easy and free. And if you are shy and don't want your face attached to your comments, you could add a pic of your favorite furry critter. Be sure to use the e-mail address associated with your avatar (your photo) when you leave comments.

Hope to see you all very soon!

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.
