This is a weather blog, so here is the weather for the next few days. We'll see showers and then sunny skies to end the week. It looks like rain is back for the weekend. While weather is my main platform here on the blog, I also have the pleasure to be one of the members of the media who cover the Portland Trail Blazers. The Blazers had an event Tuesday evening at the Oregon Humane Society. TV Sideline reporter Rebecca Haarlow and play by play man Mike Barrett emceed the event. This is what I wrote for another blog and I wanted to post it here too.

The Portland Trail Blazers are always trying to "Make It Better" out in the community. Tonight was no different. Blazer Broadcasters Mike Barrett and Rebecca Haarlow emceed an event at the Oregon Humane Society in north Portland. The event was dubbed "Yappy Hour" and featured a starting line up of dogs, cats, and two rabbits available for adoption. Each critter was named after a member of the team. Blazers Joel Przybilla and Steve Blake were on hand to assist with the festivities. The packed room was treated to stats of each available animal, including a Labrador mixed named Greg Oden. The idea for the evening was Rebecca Haarlow's. A self-described pet lover, she wanted to help out the Oregon Humane Society and she felt that this was the perfect way to do so. You can hear my interview with her Rebecca Haarlow Interview.
I highly encourage anyone who is looking for a new pet to head out to the humane society and take a look at all the animals they have. You can find out about OHS from their website by clicking Oregon Humane Society There is a signing bonus for people who do make an adoption this month.
