That's the cover for my notebook of fall inventory. We'll be busy getting everything ready for you in the next two weeks: Halloween costumes, toys, coats, sweaters, leashes, harnesses, collars, NFL and college football team gear - you name it. You'll soon find it here at Dog City Dime Store.

Right now, we're sorting, storing, and writing up amazing new items for your dogs. Be sure to stop by regularly to find some of the wonderful new fall treasures inside this book.

Meanwhile, enjoy your last leisurely week of summer! Just a few more days of utter relaxation before it's time to begin the back-to-school, get ready for autumn and the holidays season. We'll be listing all our holiday items asap, since so many of our customers like to stock up early while we have the best selection.

So while we're getting all spruced up for fall and winter, we're also trying to keep the dogs calm while they are hearing hydroplane races out on Lake Washington and the Blue Angels overhead. It's Sea Fair time here in Seattle, and the noise is more than our dogs appreciate. I guess I'll just have to keep trying to explain to them that it will only be a few short days before we're back to peaceful summer again. Meanwhile, the air show is phenomenal here in jet city.
