Yesterday happened to be my birthday. One of the great things about running your own business is that you can declare your birthday a corporate holiday. Another novel thing about my birthday this year is that I'm now on Facebook, so I'm getting a bunch of birthday notes. (Some of my "friends" are very friendly, even the day before my birthday!)

Speaking of Facebook, I just discovered that Petfinder now has a Facebook tool, so you can post a critter on your wall. I did a radio show about a cat named Sapphire last week, and even though the show audio hasn't even gone online yet, Sapphire's photo is getting a whole lot of commentary on my wall. (She is a beautiful cat!) This tool is yet another easy way you can get more exposure for your pets at a cost of exactly $0.

In other news, our February teleseminar is with Joan Mayer on the 26th. Here's the description:

Accomplish More with Your Staff Training: Joan Mayer, CPDT, will talk about how to provide practical training for shelter staff and volunteers geared towards increasing the adoptability of shelter animals, decreasing their return rate, and ultimately reducing the number of dogs relinquished in the first place. Joan is the founder of The Inquisitive Canine where her love-of-dog training approach focuses on the importance of understanding canine behavior and teaching dogs through techniques that reward and motivate.

Until next week, give your pets a big furry hug ;-)
