Bakery Goes To The Dogs

Now dogs have their own bakeries -- even a franchise of them... From the King County Journal (WA):

REDMOND -- Randy Randolph's business is going to the dogs.

And that's just fine by Randolph, ``top dog'' at the Three Dog Bakery.

Co-owned by Randolph, his wife, Bonnie Chin, her brother David Chin and Randolph's brother Brian Randolph, Three Dog Bakery -- part of a chain of franchised stores -- specializes in 130 different treats for dogs.

That includes dog birthday cakes, made of whole wheat flour and apple sauce with honey and yogurt frosting on top, and personalized with the lucky dog's name.

And that's not to mention the 20 or 25 wedding cakes the bakery in downtown Seattle has turned out.

(The store also carries an assortment of toys and other items for dogs.)

It's a labor of love for Redmond's Randolph and his dog-loving partners.

There's also a series of events called "Dine With Your Dogs" held each week at a different restaurant. It's good to see more and more businesses catering (oops) to pet owners.
