Area pet runner up in national photo contest

I was checking out the winners of the Humane Society of the United States “Spay Day USA 2008 Photo Contest” and saw “Brian, Oakwood, Ohio” and it jumped out at me.

Brian’s cat’s name is Wally and, according to the caption, the owner suffers from depression and Wally helps lift his spirits. While Wally is a cat and this blog is devoted to dogs, there are also dogs who were finalists in the contest. And who doesn’t like looking at cute pets?

I always find it nice to see people from close by win national contests. It is exciting that our area gets represented. And I also love to see the various ways our pets help us through life in so many unexpected ways.

You can see the grand prize winner and all the finalists here. Wally is number 3 in the slide show.

The Humane Society of the United States held the contest to raise awareness of the importance to spay and neuter pets. The contest raised tens of thousands of dollars to benefit the spay/neuter efforts. The actual Spay Day USA was Feb. 26, 2008.

Have cabin fever? Come to a treasure hunt for adults on Jan. 10 [things to do]

GPS device

With the economy spiraling seemingly out of control, many people would do anything for a little treasure. On Saturday, Jan. 10, the Centerville-Washington Park District is attempting to give parkgoers just that. Grant Park, 501 Normandy Ridge Road in Centerville, is hosting an event called Cabin Fever Cache, offering a reason to get into the great outdoors despite cold temperatures. The event revolves around geocaching, a growing trend that is part time capsule, part treasure hunt. Think it sounds like something only a few nerdy, tree-hugging types might be into? Think again.
