  • iPhone 4S Released

    The iPhone 4S was released today after a week’s worth of preorders. Given that Apple broke a record with over 1 million ordered within a 24-hour timeframe, we know this is going to be a popular phone!

    We’re fulfilling our preorders first, but we have limited stock in each of our retail locations (check for availability).

    So if you’re close by, feel free to stop in to our Manchester, NH, Waitsfield, VT and S. Burlington, VT stores. (Hurry, though–they’re going extremely fast!)

  • Remembering Steve Jobs

    It is with a tremendous sense of loss but also a tremendous feeling of admiration that we mourn the passing of Steve Jobs….

  • “Autumnal” is the best word to describe Vermont right now: the foliage is at full (if not a wee bit past) peak, and pumpkins, squash and gourds fill the bins at farm stands and farmers markets. For many of us at Small Dog, fall is our favorite time of year, and we’ve enjoyed meeting the many customers from out of state who have stopped into our stores while on foliage tours.

    Thank you for reading this issue of Kibbles & Bytes!
