Dear Friends,

The blueberries are almost ready and blueberry muffins and pancakes can’t be too far behind! Vermont weather is so variable. It has been really hot and dry but suddenly it goes from the 90s to the 50s for a day. We do have some rain in the forecast which is very much needed. The lawn here at Small Dog is looking pretty brown.

My friend, Simon, in China, sent me a couple of his carbon fiber badminton racquets so we are going to do a badminton tournament here at headquarters for some summer fun.

I once got in some trouble when I used Small Dog web advertising for a simple “Please Vote” message with some sites calling the ads too “political”. It was just those words on an American flag background. Well, since we are now in primary season and the most important election in my lifetime (and yours!) is on the horizon, I will once again be promoting voting! Please vote like your life depended upon it! In the last election 42% of eligible voters did not vote! I am giving away a free Chill Pill Speaker and some other goodies to anyone that sends me proof that they registered to vote for the first time.

This week’s Kibbles & Bytes exclusive features the special configure-to-order 12-inch MacBook with 1.3GHz m7 processor 8GB of ram and a 512GB SSD drive.
