The Grateful Dog DIY Dog Washing: a Tail-wagging Idea
by Jane Schaller
Kristen Ellis gazes lovingly at her Rottweiler-hound mix, Cowboy, as he settles into his dog bed beneath the reception desk at The Grateful Dog, Kristen’s do-it-yourself dog washing business in Hyannis.

What’s happening with Cape Cod Real Estate? An Insider’s View
by Donna Costa Gemborys, Realtor
There is a lot of talk about the real estate market, foreclosures and fluctuating home prices. How does the news relate to us here on Cape Cod?
Last year, 3,482 residential single-family homes and condominiums were sold on Cape Cod with an average price of $408,000. Compare that with 2008, when 3,626 properties were sold with an average sale price of $453,600. These numbers indicate a 4% drop in sales and a 10% decrease in the average sale price in 2009.
