I also want to tell everyone about The Dog Spot's
monthly events. The last Friday of January will be 
our first Wine and Biscuit night.  There is a $25 
donation and reservations are required for this 
event. Your $25 gets you two wine tickets, free 
h'or dourves, and an evening of fun.  Your pup(s) 
will receive yummy homemade biscuits and get to 
socialize with other pups. This event as well as all 
of our monthly events is being held to not only 
provide an event for dog lovers to socialize and 
meet others of like mind but to raise money for a 
wonderful rescue organization, BLISS Animal Haven
BLISS is located in Loganville and is working hard 
to save as many dogs and cats from euthanasia as 
possible by finding great forever homes for them. 
You can find more information on what they are all 
about and what  they do at www.blissanimalhaven.org
