Beat the Winter Blues at Canine Café

With the holidays behind us and nothing but chilly weather on the horizon, I find myself daydreaming about open-toed shoes, car trips with the windows rolled down, daffodils, and the smell of fresh-cut grass.

 

I’m sure I’m not alone in this, and proof of that is offered by my dog Daisy, pictured here. Her mournful glances from the couch or next to the sunniest window are enough to convince me that we’re both suffering from the winter blues.

 

All is not lost, though, for there is a cure!

 

Canine Café, our series of pet-friendly happy hours, offers some relief on Thursday, January 14, from 6 to 9 p.m. What a great excuse to get out of the house and stretch your legs!

 

The event takes place at the Richmond SPCA’s Robins-Starr Humane Center in the spacious Track and Training Center and is sponsored by Car Pool Car Wash & Detail. Features this month include health and wellness tips brought to you by our experts and the kind folks at Holiday Barn Pet Resorts, a pet tricks demo, children’s activities, a cash bar, food, music and more! Our adoption center and retail shop will also be open, with all adoptions offered at 25% off during Canine Café.

 

Whether you’re a Canine Café regular or are looking for something new, this is one you don’t want to miss. Tickets are available in advance at www.richmondspca.org/events, and at the door.

 

Other upcoming events where pets are welcome include the Have a Heart party on February 12 and the Dog Jog and 5K Run on March 20. For complete details, please visit www.richmondspca.org/events. I hope to see you there!
