Jez and Bella always look so gosh darn cute! Can you recommend a good place for me to take my dogs for grooming?
You are in luck! Atlanta and the surrounding areas have some wonderful places to take pooches for a bath and a groom. Man’s Best Friend has three locations scattered around metro Atlanta. The grooming services there are awesome, and the staff treats your pet like their own. If it is a quick bath that you need, the Veterinary Center of Buckhead is a great place to go. Drop off your dirty doggies in the morning, and pick them up totally clean and smelling great on your way home from the office. Don’t forget to make arrangements to have their teeth cleaned while they are there. The highly trained folks at the Veterinary Center use the most up-to-date ultrasound technology to give your pet the most thorough cleaning. You won’t believe what a difference a set of clean teeth make for your pet. The Pet Set is another great full-service animal grooming center. The neat thing about this shop is that payment for its services qualifies for Delta SkyMiles–kinda makes you want to get them groomed on a weekly basis. If Virginia Highland is more your neck of the woods, Jez and Bella can’t stop barking about Glamour Paws. After grooming, let your pet browse around to find today’s hippest fashions for pups and cool toys, too–even organic ones.
It seems like every time I log onto my computer, my neighborhood association is posting another warning about a break-in in or around our area. I am seriously thinking of getting a gun for protection. Any ideas where to start?
JEZ recommends that you start by visiting a shooting range first to determine whether or not a gun is even something you are comfortable holding, let alone having in your home. The fine folks at American Classic Marksman in Norcross will be happy to answer your questions and assist you in your decision-making. Try a session in one of the 12, 25-yard indoor lanes. Autrey’s Armory Inc. located in Fayetteville and Range & Guns in Forest Park are also full-service ranges that will help you get familiar with gun handling. All of the shooting ranges listed above provide the option of renting guns, as well as eye and ear protection. They also offer classes for all experience levels and stress safety first. JEZ suggests that you take the time to avail yourself of the courses offered so you can be knowledgeable about guns and gun safety, and, therefore, be comfortable with your decision–whichever way you go!
Do you have any suggestions where I might go to rent a decent tuxedo that doesn’t look old or shop-worn?

Help! I made the mistake of getting into a high-interest car loan and would love to find a way to re-finance this note. I’ve hit a dead-end with my bank. Is there any other lender that you might be able to recommend?
Absolutely. The tighter federal regulations are making it tougher to get any type of loan, and favorable rates are a long-distant memory. JEZ has found that Georgia’s Own Credit Union, a 76-year-old financial institution with locations all over metro Atlanta, has some of the most competitive rates on car loans, mortgages, home equity lines and Visa™ credit cards. Its secret? It’s a not-for-profit, so earnings are returned back to its membership in the form of better rates, fewer fees and higher dividends. And, contrary to an old myth, you don’t have to know the right people to become a member! For more info, check out its Web site at georgiasown.org.
