The love only your dog can give you.
The song “Don’t Know What You Got (Till It’s Gone) by Cinderella, describes what is like to be a dog owner.

Are Fireflies Disappearing
A summer day was not complete in Northwestern Pennsylvania in the late 1970’s and early 1980’s, until the fireflies flashed. We would exchange the kickball, metal can (for kick-the-can), or whatever backyard game we were playing after dinner for the clear glass jars mom would save for just one purpose...catching lightning bugs.
To us, they were “Lightning Bugs” because they looked like flashes of lightning in the night sky. To you, they may be Fireflies, Flashing B

In May 1886, Dr. John Stith Pemberton, a local pharmacist, created the syrup for Coca-
