Atlanta is one of my favorite cities. Love the free ice cream for dogs. We have to give our dogs Frosty Paws instead. Thanks for the news. :-)
Free ice cream for dogs! How fun!! It's been HOT in northern Michigan, too. :)
Very interesting stories!
HOw cute...free ice cream for dogs. Talk about a special treat for Fido. Hey, one of my favorite things about Atlanta are the Braves! First Place, oh yeah. AND, its the home of my favorite pastor, Dr. Charles Stanley. Love that man!
Oregon has had a prescription card but it only gets the prescription for whole sale price for customers. But that is better than no help at all I guess.
