From the editor

Happy Valentine’s Day for those who celebrate. This year, my dog Benny is my Valentine and he gave me a reminder that he’s due for his vaccines — lucky for me and my bank account — along with a bottle of wine from Loblolly Cellars. I’ll still treat him to a steak dinner because he’s the best dog I could ask for.
