This is photo, sent in by blog reader Julie, is textbook example of a cuddle puddle, as demonstrated by pooches Leela (left) and Baxter.

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.

OMG....too cute!! Nothing says lovin' like pooches snuggled up beside you.
Where/how do we send in pics of our furbabies? I have a new baby I'd love to have make his debut on The Happy Wag!

Snugglefest!

Awww - yay for my furry babies!
They actually cuddle like this the majority of the time - sometimes it really is just too much cute to handle! I would say this photo is the best recommendation I can give to anyone to adopt a couple of pound puppies - you will definitely be rewarded with snuggles for a long time to come!

Send fur-baby photos to pets@roanoke.com!

I'll have to find mine. I can't send just one though, our 8 cats are almost never in the same place at the same time, except for dinner. I'll try to send a picture of what we affectionately call 'the swarm'.
