Their demise probably had a lot to do with their wantonly spendthrift
"give-em-the-whole-tootsie-roll" policy.

If you order anything from smalldog.com (mac stuff) you get little
plastic dogs. Hope they stick around!

If I had my choice of vanagon goodies to be thrown in with an order,
it would have to be upholstery panel buttons and snap-on screw covers.
