Rogue Valley Humane Society!

Well done the team!

Yesterday morning Jean and I travelled the short distance into Grants Pass to visit Margaret and the rest of the team at Rogue Valley Humane Society, RVHS. As their website proclaims: Helping Our Community, Four Paws at a Time.

Here’s why we went to meet the team.

If you drop across to my page where I offer my book for sale you will read that:

Please do find your way to supporting our pets in need. For 50% of the net proceeds from the sale of my book are being donated to our local Rogue Valley Humane Society. Every cent makes a positive difference!

Well many of you, dear people, have made a positive difference, as the following pictures illustrate.

So a tremendous vote of thanks to everyone that has purchased my book for this is what your generosity delivers!

Going to write a little more about the Humane Society tomorrow.

Those annoying adverts on this blog!

Yes, I find them annoying too!

When you are a WordPress user, as is Learning from Dogs, you can pay $30 a year to stop advertisements from appearing on one’s blogsite.

This is how WordPress explain their policy on advertising:

We sometimes display advertisements on your blog to help pay the bills. This keeps free features free! We only run them in limited places, and we do not show ads to logged-in readers, which means only a very small percentage of your page views will actually contain ads. To eliminate ads on your blog entirely, you can purchase the No-Ads Upgrade for a single blog (per year).

I choose not to pay that upgrade, despite the ads being annoying; of that I have no doubt.

For this reason.

WordPress pay an amount of their advertising income to the owner of the blog.  Thus twenty-four hours ago, WordPress sent me an email:

Just thought you’d like to know WordPress.com sent you $106.23 USD.

I’m not sure but I think that covers the last twelve months.

That $106 will be divided into two with $53 staying with Jean and me and $53 going to our nearest humane society; Rogue Valley Humane Society.

Just wanted to let you know.
