Giving up your 11 year old dog at Christmas time is extra. . . special 🫠

My name is Mylo I’m turning 11 years old on January 11th. Do you think anyone will know it’s my birthday? How will my family find me to give me a birthday treat? Do you think they still love me?

I’m a 70 lbs Shepard/Lab mixed breed.
I’m neutered & vaccinated

I am located in CT 📍📍

I love the dogs I was living with and after down time to get used to a new home, I’m sure I’ll be ok with other respectful dogs.

I’m not really a fan of cats because I don’t understand what they are so it’s better for me to not have that added stress…

I am fully housebroken, I like to go out for walks and I know basic commands. I’m eager to please you, just please don’t give up on me because my heart is so broken 😞 💔

I am healthy for my age with lots left to give!

I’m an easy going, low energy sweet elder dog 🐕

My favorite activity: waiting for you to walk in the door and my tail wags so much because I know you came back for me like you promised. If you throw a toy I love to retrieve it for you and place it gently at your feet.

Please pick me. I’m so scared about what will happen to me since I no longer have a home or family.

This is a courtesy post, I am not with a rescue but BARC is trying to get me into a good home so please fill out the application and they will pass it on to my current owner. App in comments.

Lots of familiar names on that list that have presented during our wine classes at District.
Great list alongside some phenomenal wine shops.

There are 169 towns in Connecticut, loveable, hate-able, distinct. An archipelago. I like to think of them as breeds of dog. It’s much the same with its better wine shops […]

Someone commented “why all the dog posts instead of wine?”
Because if just 1 person out of our followers can rescue or foster any of the dogs we’ve reposted then that’s worth more than any 1 bottle of wine.
Sharing is free.
Foster if you can
Adopt if you want unconditional love.

Imagine being this dog.

📍CT - Molly, 14 yr old sweetheart needs a loving adopter IMMEDIATELY her owner fell on very hard times and seeking a Christmas miracle.

Dog living in a hotel, family can no longer care for their. 14 year old dog who is completely defeated and sad.

Molly needs to be the only dog in the home but she’s excellent with all people. Cats unknown with no ability or time to test.

Molly is spayed but hasn’t had vetting in many years, she could be sick or in pain. Army’s Legacy Animal Rescue And Sanctuary, Inc. is going to do all the vetting. So it’s gonna cost you nothing to take her into your home. She will be backed by the rescue.

Molly is eligible for FOSTER or ADOPTER through Army’s - please give the most gift this holiday and gift this broken soul a safe and loving home. Please contact Army’s to fill out an application.

Here we go again!
Wayne Pesce from the CT Food Association looking to fatten his wallet with a huge bonus. This year’s narrative “families with young children can drink more.” If you remember last year’s narrative was “we’re gonna help the local vineyards” and that was proven to be a huge lie.
I’m grateful that we won’t have to deal with this BS again but I still support many locally owned small independent wine shops that care about the products they curate and are extremely knowledgeable about these wines.
Retail is dying everywhere. Big Lots, Part City and more are scheduled to close. Why do we have to have more vacant commercial properties at the loss of a small family owned business?
Drink what you want.
Buy from whoever has better parking.
But continue to fight against big corporate scumbags like Wayne Pesce who continuously lie to the consumer only in hopes that he gets a fatter bonus.

Wine in grocery stores has been debated for decades. Here's what you need to know about it.
