Pennies for Pooches, Line Dancing and Tunnel Vision

1. Help your a friend with four paws and a tail today! One local woman is raising money for the Bristol Animal Shelter but cutting off an inch of her hair for every $100 she collects in donations. This week, the Bristol Animal Shelter donation jar in the Woof! Woof! Pet Boutique & Biscuit Bar store will go towards her collections. She is hoping to raise $1,500 before Aug. 5 and cut off 15 inches of her hair for the fur babies! Stop by the store if you would like to donate, any amount helps!
