Bark Avenue Dog Wash is the name of a new business soon to open in Tucson. Every day on my walk I pass by the building where the business will be located, right at the Pantano entrance to Fry's Market. A couple days ago I saw the new sign above its door, amidst all the concrete entrance construction debris, and that is what prompted me to do research on the business via the Internet.
I discovered that Bark Avenue Dog Wash has a Facebook page, and if you are interested you can learn more about it by clicking the following link.

WORD FOR TODAY
tertiary [TUHR-she-ehr-ee]
adjective
Coming next after the second and just before the fourth in position.

If you are the third child born in your family, don't be tempted to call yourself the "tertiary child." This means you are less important that your two older siblings. However, in some cases, tertiary does not have to do with ranking third -- the Tertiary period marks the beginning of life for mammals, and in the United Kingdom, tertiary education means "college-level."
