We just got back from doing our show live from the Luzerne County SPCA. If you are looking to expand your family with something furry, this should be your first stop.
Right now the shelter has 256 animals (dogs, cats, birds, ferrets & turtles) all looking for good homes.
Puggles the Puggle could be yours!
If you can't adopt, there's many other ways to help.
Cash donations can be sent to:
The SPCA of Luzerne County
524 East Main St.
Wilkes-Barre, PA 18702
(Make checks payable to:Â The SPCA of Luzerne County)
It costs as much as $40/day to shelter one of these animals, so every penny helps!

And don't forget about the SPCA Open HOWL-SE this Saturday, October 29 Noon to 3pm.
We urge you to get involved anyway you can. You won't be disappointed, and the animals could really use your help.
Ever wonder what happens to the fireworks confisicated by police around the 4th of July? Apparently they put on quite the pyrotechnics show of their own.
They could sell tickets to this thing. And boom goes the dynamite.
These are the trees we were talking about yesterday. They are perfectly healthy and have been growing nicely in our backyard for a few years. And now SUE WANTS THEM REMOVED!
And look! There's even a bird's nest in one of them.
You can do your part to help me SAVE THESE TREES! Say NO to Sue and her chainsaw. Let's keep these trees where they are.
How can you help? Let your voice be heard. Leave a comment below. Together we can stop the deforestation of our backyard.
We just got the word on an upcoming tryout for the next season of SURVIVOR. If you think you have what it takes to Outwit, Outplay & Outlast, get your adventerous self to Mt. Airy THIS THURSDAY. We'd love to have one of our listeners represent NEPA on SURVIVOR!

Hope you had a great weekend despite the less than favorable weather. Friday I kicked things off with a Weyerbacher  (great microbrewery from Easton, PA)beer tasting @ Krugels Deli & Beer in WB Twsp. They were Friday's Premium Perk--hope you took advantage of that amazing deal.
Krugel's is like a candy store for big kids! This is just a small selection of their 1100 different kinds of beer.
That's me with my bud Bosco who works at our sister station WILK.
Saturday I vegged on the couch for most of the day. That's where the birds come in.  I watched a really bad movie on SyFy--"Roadkill". This movie was SO BAD I couldn't stop watching it. The premise? A bunch of 20 somethings are touring Ireland in a rented RV.  Gypsies place a curse on them in which a giant bird tries to kill them one-by-one. No surprise this movie had great dialogue!
Chick:Â Will you calm down.
Dude:Â How can I calm down, our best friend was just killed by a giant bird!
Sunday I hit the pavement for the 6th Annual RUN FOR THE RED in Stroudsburg.  The rain finally stopped when it was time to start the race.
Shout out to my running mates, Lisa the Marathon Mom and the rest of the NF Endurance Team.  Good times, great people.Â
Rocky:Â On a dare in High School ate a ratâs foot
Sue:Â Got naked at a nude beach
Lissa:Â Made out in a church
One of us was lying. Can you guess which one?
It was me! (Rocky) Actually this isnât a total lie. There was a kid in my High School that DID eat a ratâs foot. We all threw in a buck, and at lunch one day, he did it. I think there was about $20 in the pot.
Sue DID get naked, reluctantly, when we discovered a nude beach in the Caribbean. She took off her bathing suit after she was in the water.
And when Lissa was 13 she got cornered by a guy in church. He threw her in a closet and started making out with her.
Coming back from a pretty amazing weekend. I was among the 3000 runners in the Jersey Shore Relay. Our NF Endurance team had over 60 runners in the race. And it was quite a sight seeing all the neon jerseys! Our Pocono crew ran the Marathon Relay...Seaside Heights to Asbury Park.
We didn't see Snooki or Bruce but we did find a few of their old haunts!
Â
Bruce played here!
Snooki did something fowl here!
Like the beer stand at a concert...the port-a-potty line pre-race.
Temps were in the 40's and the wind along the beach was gusting as high as 40mph. Ideal running conditions! :)
Here I am doing what I can to stay warm before my leg of the marathon
Here we go!
The mind is willing...let's hope the legs are.
Â
Where is everyone? Oh yeah...they ran passed me!
My 4 1/2 mile leg is in the books.
The entire NF team post race @ the Asbury Park Convention Center
