Facebook Theater – Anyone Else Clean the House Before the Cleaning People Come

Having someone clean your home every couple of weeks isn't anything new. But one of the things we have trouble dealing with are those people who feel they need to clean the house BEFORE the cleaning people come.
If you're doing that, then why not save the money? Are you afraid that someone is going to take before and after pictures if the house is messy when the cleaning people come?
- I'm so excited - my husband is taking me on a shopping spree for my birthday! I am dressed like I’m about to run a 5k. He is dressed like we are going to a fancy dinner. I gently explained that he grossly underestimated my ability to go the distance and he better hope his shoes are comfortable.
- It just occurred to me that the woman who cleans my house could make a lot of money by threatening to release the before and after photos.
- Day 3 of healthy eating in the year 2024. Just had an omelette for breakfast. Full disclosure - I seasoned the eggs with sugar, butter, chocolate, flour and then baked it in an oven, but it's a start, right?
WDHA’s Rockers and Dogs Exclusive Photo Gallery
Hello Animal Loving Rockers!
I can't believe we are coming up on the 14th anniversary of our Rock N' Ruff initiative! Let me rewind.
When I returned to WDHA in 2010, I knew how crowded many of our local New Jersey animal shelters were. The vet care, food, supplies, and most of all "awareness" that needed to be raised was immense. What I also knew is that rockers love their pets and when we put the call out to help us with photo shoots, events, video pieces, donation items, etc, our rock community would step up! And they did. We have reached out to our rock community to stop by our events, come by, and take photos to get shelter pets noticed or visit local shelters with us. Everyone has been so spectacular and enthusiastic to help out!
Over the years WDHA's Rock N' Ruff has helped find homes for thousands of shelter pets, and we love hearing about adoptions, Happy Tails, and receiving photos of many of the animals adopted from Shelter groups we have featured on our RNR Program. We have also had such support from our WDHA listening family who have been so generous with donations, supplies, and the volunteering of their time either fostering, walking, socializing, or becoming a part of the shelter community by helping in any way they can.
We are also thrilled that when rockers stop by our studios for an interview, performance, or hang they feel super comfortable bringing their own best friends because they know how pet-friendly we are at WDHA, and we always welcome rockers and THEIR pets to our studio too, I mean come on- why shouldn't their best friends be a part of the interview? Steven Van Zandt brought his sweet pup "Edie" to hang when he was on my show and Go-Go's drummer Gina Schock loves bringing her baby "Penny" everywhere and we loved having her at WDHA.
So let's look back with just a few photos from our station archives.
We are honored to be the radio pioneers of merging Rock and Rescue and love having a pet-friendly environment for shelter artists and our staff who often bring our pups to the studios. It's a madhouse and we love it! (Or should I say "doghouse")
Special Thanks to Joe Frazz for most of this amazing photography.
So as we head into year FOURTEEN of our Rock and Rescue initiative, I look back on some fun moments of our favorite rockers and the photo memories that are priceless!
Thanks, Rockers!
