The specials go on and on, so check out our holiday specials page at “Smalldog.com/holiday”:http://www.smalldog.com/holiday or stop into either our Waitsfield or S. Burlington Vermont retail locations for exclusive in-store specials!

The holiday retail season is well under way and it is unbelievable that we will be entering into the next decade in fewer than 30 days. The retail staff at both stores has been busy rearranging displays, showcasing specials and putting everything into ship-shape. Our purchasing department worked extremely hard during the fall months loading Small Dog to the rafters with many fine and diverse gifts for your friends and families. If you are like me, you will probably find something cool for yourself as well.

The holidays also bring the beginning of winter sports season in Vermont. Many of us moved to the Mad River Valley and Vermont in general to take advantage of the extraordinary winter sport opportunities that the Green Mountains offer. Our Waitsfield retail showroom is located an easy 10 minute drive to both the Mad River Glen and Sugarbush ski areas while Stowe is less than 1 hour north and Killington is 1 hour south. Snowshoers, dog teams, and snowmobilers are often seen enjoying the groomed VAST trails behind our offices. Stop by and say hi the next time you are passing by on the way to the mountain!

Cheers,

Tony

Recently I picked up one of the “Mophie Juice Pack Air”:http://www.smalldog.com/wag19613/ external battery (in Black) for my iPhone because I felt like I was running out of battery life faster than I would have liked.

Since I bought the Juice Pack Air I have been getting two full days of battery life with my iPhone (and I use it a lot!) which was a major improvement over the one day I was getting previously.

The Mophie Juice Pack Air doesn’t only extend the battery life of your iPhone–it also acts as a case for the iPhone which is an added benefit because I know my iPhone is protected.

The thing that is really nice about the Juice Pack is that to charge it I don’t have to take the case on and off–there is a mini-USB port on the case that allows me to plug in a mini-USB to USB cable (included) so I can charge the case up and sync it to my computer or plug it into my iPhone’s USB charger.

The Juice Pack Air also has built in overcharge, short-circuit and temperature protection so I don’t have to worry about damaging my iPhone in any way.

The Mophie Juice Pack Air is the thinnest external battery for the iPhone and I highly recommend it.

Normally $79.99, you can get this convenient device for $71.99! Available in “White”:http://www.smalldog.com/product/73607 or “Black”:http://www.smalldog.com/product/73606 to match it to your iPhone!

We’re now offering classes in Waitsfield as well as S. Burlington! See all classes and curriculum here. UPCOMING CLASSES Mac Basics Level Two:…
