Dear Sproutpeople, you are not the only businesses being snatched by higher bidders on Google. When I Google my local vet, it gives me the number to another...we all need to be aware of this tactic by Google and verify who's site we are on. The key to dealing with this is to not respond in "like kind". Be above it. I shop with Sproutpeople because I like Sproutpeople! I recently read the following:

#1: "Why are you optimistic about the new year? What do you think it will bring?"

#2: "I think it will bring flowers"

#1: Yeah, how come?"

#2" Because I'm planting flowers."

... but if you publish something Google doesn't like, they're all over taking that down and punishing you. I'm sorry you have to deal with this!

Yes sir, life in these United States has surely changed. We used to feel the same way about San Antonio, TX. until the same things started happening and it was no longer the “big small town” with a friendly atmosphere we knew and loved. Also has become unaffordable. We moved to Arkansas 5 years ago and haven’t looked back. Thanks for all you do!
