Here is where I confess that I am a butthead. I always assumed (see what happens when you assume!) Salty’s was a “Fancy Dog” kinda shop. Wrong. I’ve been wasting my money buying dog food from New Seasons. Salty’s beats their price on WolfKing by a wide margin.

Salty’s is an inexpensive and cool pet shop with a candystore-like treat section and a lot of pet collars that aren’t ugly. They are about to celebrate their third year in the business. April 10-13 they will be giving out door prizes, holding a raffle, and putting a bunch of stuff on sale.

I figure they owe me since I’ve been overpaying for dog food for about 3 years.

Put on your best costumes and come down to Mississippi between 5-6pm on Halloween - Wednesday, October 31st. There will be trick-or-treating up and down the street, for kids of all ages.
