Woodbury, NY – October 2007 – Pet Peeves, Long

her gratitude. “We wholeheartedly thank Southern Wines
and Spirits for their kindness and generosity. Pet Peeves exists
solely because of the generosity of corporations and individuals

that need the healing companionship of pets. We sincerely
appreciate their support.”
