"Stuff by Cyndi"
Fashions for you and your furry friend.

If you've been in recently, you might have noticed the adorable collection of hand-made Fleeces, Arf Scarves, Collar Covers and other goodies made by Powder Springs resident Cyndi Crawford. And if you haven't been in, do come by and check them out!

Cyndi's handiwork keeps your four legged friends both stylish and warm. They make great gifts for any dog lover on your list ... and don't forget to stuff Fido's stocking!
 

The New Bean
It's a girl!

For those of you that have been keeping up with us on our baby adventure, we learned the sex during our last doctor's visit. We both viewed the ultrasound images while trying to "call it" when the technician announced - "It's a girl!"

Our little girl is expected to arrive March 21st and we can hardly wait. We try to post our news about her on our forum located here.

A Year of Books
The follow-up 

We would like to send out a thank you for everyone who came to the Book Worm Book Store's Anniversary Party.

We had an amazing time. Everyone loved listening to local musicians Del Baroni and Nicholas Alan. Many local authors visited and signed copies of their books and were great fun to talk to. Del Baroni and Nicholas Alan's CDs are still available in the store, as are signed copies of several books featured during the Anniversary Party. We would also like to thank local artist Rhonda Walton whose artwork is featured in the store.

If anyone is looking for any last minute gifts, we have several of her pieces still available.

Meet The Dog
Our mascot has a name.

The election has come and gone and we have a winner.

There were no complications of hanging chads, mishandled ballots, long lines, snow storms, or anything else that would have interrupted this monumentous event. Countless patrons came out to show support for their favorite candidates. We want to thank everyone who participated, both those who suggested names and those who voted.

The votes were close, but squeaking by with a small lead was “Brewster.” This name was suggested by Emily Myers who will have her choice of a free T-Shirt or a $15 gift certificate.

The First Place Runner-up was “Pavlov” suggested by David Postell. David will receive a $5 gift certificate.

The Second Place Runner-up was tied between “Mr. Bean” suggested by George & Cindy Narretta and “Barkley” suggested by Sharon Clutter. Both second place winners will receive $5 gift certificates.

 
Blue Sleeve Special Contest


Throughout the month of December there are specially marked "To Go" sleeves on our coffee. If you happen to receive a "Blue" Barking Dog logo on your sleeve that is marked as a winner, you can bring it back for a free drink on your next visit.
