When you Google the words "First Night," you'll find several meanings, including one about New Year's Eve. That meaning is about a safe, affordable, fun time in many cities.

But I have another definition for "First Night," that of one with a new puppy.

The night you first bring a puppy home is anything but sane. Nope, not affordable, either. Breeders charge hundreds of dollars nowadays for a furry, four-legged critter.

Meanwhile, in Bluffton.

Yesterday the Ada Icon posted 12 photos representing events taking place in Ada during 2015. That photo series is now being shared with Bluffton viewers on the Bluffton Icon.
