ATLANTA - If you dream of coming home to a wet nose, wagging tail and tons of kisses (in addition to, perhaps, a half-chewed shoe or an overturned trashcan) adopt a puppy from your local Humane Society. According to the ASPCA, approximately 5 million to 7 million domesticated animals enter animal shelters nationwide, every year, and approximately 3 million to 4 million are euthanized. However, you can change those numbers but adopting a companion for yourself or your family. Pets are an investment but, in our opinion, an investment well worth the money.

According to the Humane Society of Northeast Georgia, Jesse is an Austrailian Cattle Dog mix puppy. She has a happy sweet temperament. Still being a young dog, she is active and loves to play. Donna isn’t housetrained or declawed. But she’s eager to be trained and have a loving family of her own.

Submitted by Atlanta Busines... on Sunday, October 2nd, 10:06 am

ATLANTA -- Five Guys has become the largest restaurant chain to sign up for the Coca-Cola Freestyle dispenser system.

The burger chain will begin installing two Coca-Cola Freestyle fountains in all company-owned restaurant locations across the country next month.

Five Guys has about 875 restaurants across the United States and Canada. It began testing Coke's Freestyle system in the Atlanta market, home to 24 of its restaurant locations, in 2010.

The touch screen-operated Freestyle lets consumers create their own personal and customized drinks, dispensing more than 100 sparkling and still beverage brands from one machine.

Firehouse Subs also recently adopted the Freestyle for its restaurants.

Struggling Falcons fly in for clash with Seahawks

Submitted by 11Alive News Staff

Friday, September 30th, 2011, 5:05pm

(Sports Network) - A funny thing has happened on the way to the Atlanta
Falcons' expected run to the Super Bowl.

One of the presumed elites in the NFC after winning a conference-best 13 games
in 2010, the Falcons were anticipated by many to be ready for a next step after
reaching the postseason as a No. 1 seed last winter.

So far, it seems that step may have been in another direction. However, a
chance to reverse course comes Sunday in Seattle against the host Seahawks.

Rather than quickly re-establishing status as kingpins of the NFC South, the
Falcons stumbled to a pair of losses in three September games and actually
begin October tied for the bottom rung on the division ladder with the
defending cellar-dweller Carolina Panthers.

Atlanta opened the schedule with a flaccid 30-12 loss at Chicago and had to
rally late against a No. 3 quarterback to secure a narrow win over visiting
Philadelphia in Week 2.
