Life has been pretty rough around here lately...so we decided to get a puppy. After a couple of days I was nervous that we'd made a HUGE mistake. My husband and I are busy running the company and have two kids and one dog already, but as I look into his little puppy eyes, I know we did the right thing. He has brought much needed cheer to our home and office. We call him Easy (as in The Big Easy and Easy Rider) and hope his "easy-going" personality is here to stay.
I also wanted to thank everyone for the outpouring of love and support after my father passed away. Everyone's calls, emails and letters have been a great source of comfort. If you're ever on Cape Cod, please stop into our company store (the address is on the left sidebar) and say hello. You can meet Easy and Teddy, the original dog on our packaging!
awww, what kind of puppy is he? so adorable!

He is a briard puppy. We have a 11 yr. old briard too! Teddy, our older dog, is the dog featured on our boxes.

Hi. Well believe it or not today I bought a box of your crackers just because I was happy to see a tawny Briard on the box! Frankly I hadn't noticed them among all the other cracker boxes but somehow the Briard caught my eye. I'm sure they'll taste good but taste had nothing to do with my purchase. I have a 6-yr old Briard running partner and they are such special dogs I couldn't believe you guys use one on your box! Now you can give an extra treat to Teddy for increasing your sales :)
cheers,
Todd in Arlington VA

I was polishing off "my son's" box of Late July crackers, when I looked at the pretty picture on the front and noticed that tawny Briard. It was unmistakable. I have had Briards since I was 7 years old (I'm 50 now)- and I definitely know one when I see one. Anyway, I ran to the Internet and Googled "Late July" + "Briard" and- of course- discovered that you own two Briards. My father died in 2009 too. The only time I ever saw him cry was the day our first Briard died. There's something about these furry beasts- we can't get enough of them. BTW- we like your products too.
