He&#8217;d been suffering his age for a while, so it was a relief to have him go peacefully in his sleep to the heavenly doggie playground he so richly deserved. We&#8217;re going to miss him!

I found the original Walmart Fan Club ad on Facebook deeply offensive and complete devoid of truth.  (I added the word &#8220;Avoid.&#8221;) First off, one does not—cannot—save money at Walmart.  One spends money at Walmart.
