A STAR IS BORN AND HER NAME IS SNOOKER!

Snooker burst onto the Hammertown scene this past April when she made her debut on our website as "Snooker the Mitchell Gold Sale Dog".  Since then, customers and their canines who happened to catch a glimpse of the attractive Boston Terrier in our Pine Plains store (or on our website over their owner's shoulder) have been clamoring to know more about her.  Snooker's not just a pretty face...wait until you hear her SING!!  CLICK here...

"FOOD, INC." --  A MUST-SEE FILM

One thing we know about our online community...they LOVE food.  That's why we're encouraging our readers to see the new film, "Food, Inc."
