This is your 96.9 The Eagle afternoon rocker Ken Anthony with GREAT news from "Capri's Corner"....my way of honoring my beloved dog Capri who passed away in late March. I've been volunteering each weekend at the Placer SPCA in Roseville, and over the weekend, we found a home for Callie, a 9 year old Catahoula mix breed who I posted about a couple weeks ago. She had been at the Placer SPCA since this past January. Thanks to the awesome gentleman who adopted her into her NEW forever home. I've spent time with Callie and she Rocks! Way to Go Callie! Capri would be so Happy! For more info on the Placer SPCA, go to https://placerspca.org/

This is your 96.9 The Eagle afternoon rocker Ken Anthony with a photo from 2013 of my beloved Capri and I. Yes...it looks like I'm choking her...but she rarely looked at the camera...so I had to hold her neck so she'd look at the camera...lol. Capri passed last March at 15 and I've started "Capri's Corner" on The Eagle, working with the Placer SPCA to get dog's adopted in her honor. Today is and while it's a bittersweet day for me, her spirit still rocks every day! I would LOVE to see a photo of your dog here on The Eagle page. Let us know your dogs' name, age and breed and how you are celebrating this special day with your furry friend.
