pic_0274.JPGSo your probably wondering how those 3 go together. Well first we’ll start with today…MLK Day. As a station we participated in Triangle United Way’s Day of Service.  We volunteered at three different locations, The signature project at Knightdale High School, serving lunch at the Raleigh Rescue, and the SPCA of Wake County. pic_0290.JPG8 of my colleagues and myself went to the SPCA where we got to play with lots of adorable dogs, cats, puppies, and bunnies (which is my volunteering aspect of this). pic_0279.JPG The SPCA of Wake County requires almost 200 volunteers a day to make the facility run smoothly, so all the help they can get is great! When talking with Shirley, one of their volunteers we learned so much about the dogs, the facility and how rewarding the experience is for volunteers. So now your probably wondering how all of this ties into food and Valentine’s day right? Ok well let me tell you! The SPCA of Wake County is having their 4th annual Bark and Wine with your Valentine event. For the full press release click on the link, but it sounds like a really great time! pic_0268.JPG

    I’m so glad that your puppies did not make messes to clean up!

    And they are all so darn cute! Makes me wish Willow Bee could have a friend!

    I had so much fun volunteering at the SCPA. Not sure if you’ve had a chance to check it out yet, but I posted a video of all the kitties I played with. You can see it at www.ginnyfromtheblog.com! I’m glad you got some time with the dogs, but you know me, I’m a cat person!
