…as it does, every year. British department store John Lewis puts out the best Christmas commercials every. single. year. This one will tug at your heart strings, too, and in the process will make monsters under the bed the new hottest must-have this year under the tree. Enjoy! –Alli
If you’re a veteran or active duty, first, let me say: thank you for your service. I don’t think it can be said enough that we as Americans appreciate you and sometimes take you for granted for what you do. Thank you! And, there are plenty of businesses who want to show you some love today, including City Barbecue right here in the Triangle, who is hooking you up with free food all day today. There are lots of other places showing their love, too. Click the link below to see where you can grab some grub on them. After all, it’s the least we Americans can do. Happy Veterans Day!

This week, we are featuring Ollie, who is a 7 month old hound mix.
Ollie is ready to find his forever family. He is fully housetrained and crate trained. He knows sit and stay and is super motivated by treats and food! He enjoys the company of other dogs and is good with cats too.
Ollie is quite the outdoors-man! He makes for an excellent camping buddy. He is great with sleeping in a tent, hiking the trail and meeting fellow travelers.
Occasionally, he can be a little shy at first with new people, but warms up quickly. Ollie is a playful pup and would do best in a home without small children.
If you think Ollie would be a great fit for your home, please submit an application for him! Learn more at secondchancenc.org.
