There is a store in Mystic, CT and Annapolis, MD called The Black Dog. The Black Dog is actually a bar and restaurant on Martha’s Vineyard that has taken on a life of it’s own. The bar is secondary. People – like my mom and I , my friend Ann George and thousands of others come in not to eat and drink but to shop. In fact when I was in Mystic, I actually said to the store clerk– where is the restaurant? He looked at me like I was crazy and said this is just the store. Everything you could imagine to buy with the logo. Which of course we did- coffee mugs, mouse pads etc. We even posed outside the store to have our pictures taken and a very odd man asked if he could be in the picture- and there he is!
The number one seller at the store? Their dog biscuits…. hmmmmm this definetly gives me an idea.. Mermaid Cottage Dog biscuits? Or maybe a very cute name? Stay tuned…
visit http://www.theblackdog.com/ and you can see all their stuff!









"Chicken of Tybee" with your Mermaid on the label? Could start a whole new reality show!
SandyPaws dog treats?
Great idea – I see another naming contest in the near future! And look at the picture of you (alone) by the store — it looks like the Black Dog sign is actually a bubble idea (like they have in comic strips) — it looks like you're thinking of a Black Dog!
So very weird. I followed the link to your website from another blog you had commented on. Yummy looking food on this blog, btw. Was not hungry when I began reading, but I so am now. Thanks?!? But if I remember my dates correctly, I was in Mystic that very same day and walked right past that shop. No time to stop though, I had money waiting to be spent at the knitting store…
