Hey there my name is Hoagie, but everyone calls me Stu. My mom and dad own The Lazy Dog Cookie Co. I work there as director of employee morale, but I think I spend more time as an "unauthorized" taste tester. I would like to begin with a shout out to all my fellow GWP's, scruff is in the house!! My new blog What's all the Scrufflebutt? is going be dedicated to living as me and Lazy Dog news. I have a stump for a tail as all good GWP's should, so if I like something I will give it "Double Stump Pumps", yah, I'm not embarrassed I watched the Jersey Shore. Moving along my first bit of big news to share about Lazy Dog is.......
