“Valerie (NoMa) is a four month old Beagle-Lab mix with the prettiest blue eyes. My wife Liz and I adopted her the first weekend of the shelter in place order and named her after the Amy Winehouse song.

“Dear PoPville,
I saw you have a dental appointment and it made me wonder. Does the PoPville Community have any dentists they recommend? Bonus points if they focus on TMJ or cosmetic dentistry as I have done a number to my teeth from stress grinding over the years!”
