Pet parenting class in Martinsville
Here's some good news for our southern neighbors who may be experiencing puppy growing pains. I got this press release yesterday from Chase Inman, director of marketing and development and volunteer coordinator for the SPCA of Martinsville-Henry County.
"Being a new pet parent can be challenging, so the SPCA hopes to help! This class is for the whole two-legged family members! Come learn the basics of pet parenthood and how to make your family's adjustment as smooth as possible. This one hour orientation is purrrfect for new pet parents and those experiencing training issues."
To register call Alice Ann Blevins at 276-632-7424. Class will be Saturday, July 25, from 1 -2 p.m. Inman said the class is just for pet parents, so leave the pups and pooches at home. The plan is to cover doggy-related issues, but if you are having a kitty conundrum, please let Blevins know and, if there is enough interest, there could be a cat class added to the curriculum.
I wish this class was being offered on a different day or, better yet, closer to (or in) Roanoke. I'm in the planning stages of adopting a new pet, after being petless for many years, and would really love to participate.
