"Snowflake, Snowflake Falling Free...Pick a Discount from our Tree!"-Store Savings Now! NEW Our Snowflake Surprise Discount program runs from Sun., Jan. 22, 2012 through Sun., Feb. 5, 2012. Winter has arrived! We left the Christmas tree up this year and we've decorated it in snowflakes for winter! Seems as soon as we finished decorating it yesterday, Friday, Jan. 20, the snow came. How's that for Mother Nature helping us launch our snowflake surprise discount game? Here's how it works: When you come shopping at Godfrey's during this time, head on over to our Snowflake Tree in the "Dining Room." You'll see white snowflake envelopes on the tree. Each envelope names a store department on the outside of the envelope. So if you are shopping for a product in any of those departments you see, pick a snowflake envelope off the tree-No peeking inside! Then when you go to check out, we'll open your envelope and see what discount you've won! Discounts range from 5% to 20% off original price! Rules: One envelope per person per day. Discount must be taken on in-store items, no special orders. Sale departments on the envelopes can change at any time throughout our two week sale. Starting Sunday, Jan., 21, the three store departments with surprise discounts are "Treats," "Human Apparel," and "Spa/Grooming Products."

How do dogs benefit from massage therapy?
The benefits of massage therapy for people, as well as pets, are many. There are dozens of different types of massage, but for most of them the benefits include the following:
• relief from pain, stress and anxiety • relaxes tight muscles & improves joint mobility • helps alleviate tension headaches, muscular back pain and repetitive motion injuries • compliments physical therapy & chiropractic care • improves blood & lymph circulation • lowers blood pressure • flushes toxins from the body • promotes healing of tissues by increasing circulation • enhances muscle tone and increases range of motion
Lorraine Storms attended workshops with Patricia Whalen-Shaw in 2001. She completed Feline Massage Level I, Canine Massage Level I, and Equine Massage Level I. Other relevant coursework includes Comparative Anatomy of Vertebrates and Animal Physiology, both taken at Kutztown University. Lorraine currently has two cats, an ex-racing Standardbred, an ex-racing Greyhound and the occasional ex-racing foster Greyhound. Lorraine volunteers for the local animal shelter, Berks Humane Society, as a dog walker and socializer and for First State Greyhound Rescue as a meet and greet volunteer and foster-mom.
********** HELP LOCAL PETS IN NEED ********** Godfrey's is a collection point for the Animal Rescue League of Berks County. Please see their web site for items they are currently in need of. Godfrey's is also a drop-off collection point for the CART (County Animal Response Team) program for the Humane Society of Berks County. We want to help the lives of dogs in tough situations feel better. Animals in this program come into the shelter because they are victims of catastrophes (fires, floods, etc.), sudden illness or death of owners, and also because of domestic violence cases where the dog must be removed from the home immediately. Dogs in these situations need food and basic supplies. For this program, we are equipped to accept donations of the following: unopened food and treats, peanut butter, water and food bowls, sanitizable pet toys (Kong, nylabone, etc.), dog shampoo, and gently used but clean (or new, of course!) toys, beds, collars and leashes. PLEASE NOTE: Please do not bring donations of cat litter.
