Dear Friends,

As I type this, I am at the office before everyone else so I can write Kibbles & Bytes without interruption and prepare for the day since Thursdays have become another very busy day for me. I have our weekly call with our retail managers, a meeting with our IT and Service staff and then Rebecca and I head to the WDEV studio in Waterbury for our weekly talk show, Small Dog Speaks.

This one hour call-in show has been a lot of fun and we are very proud to be on WDEV, Radio “Flea” Vermont, which is the premier locally owned and programmed radio station. We are still refining our presentation and developing a theme song, but so far, we have had lots of people call in to talk about their Macs, cell phones, iPads, PCs, their dogs and dog friends. This week we have two special guests, Roy Hadden, aka “Dr. Bark,” from the Valley Animal Hospital and Adam Frick from Charlotte Street Computers, here to talk about ticks and lyme disease and PC and PC repair, respectively.

Our Hammerhead division will be receiving the new cases for the iPad 3rd generation next week. We have three new iPad cases: the Capo Case, a versatile form-fitting polypropylene case in five colors, the Premium Leather Case, a simple folio-type case made of top grain leather, and our Bluetooth Keyboard Case, a leather case with a removable, compact Bluetooth keyboard and stylus. I will be taking my iPad with me to China when I go in about 10 days and my choice will be the Bluetooth Keyboard Case. I think you will like this new case selection.

If you are looking for an inexpensive laptop, we have some Small Dog refurbished MacBooks available now. These have been thoroughly inspected and reconditioned by our Apple Certified techs and have a 2.13GHz processor, 2GB of RAM and a 160GB hard drive. These MacBooks have a 90-day Small Dog warranty and would be a great way to add a Mac to your digital toolbox.
