The Dog Days of Pine Mountain

After the cats of Pine Mountain had their moment in the spotlight, it was only fair to give the dogs their turn. In this episode, I introduce some of the four-legged locals who help give downtown Pine Mountain its charm — from Teddy Bear, the Tiny Town Ambassador, to Bike Shop Bear at Chipley Cycle, Lacey the Cheese Dog, and Angus Ferguson, the bacon-loving Honorary Furry Rotarian. Together, their routines, favorite stops, and big personalities reveal just how much these dogs are part of the daily rhythm of town.

Two Cat Town

In this episode of Pine Mountain, Then and Now, we’re celebrating one of my favorite kinds of small-town stories: the cats in the stores. Meet Arnold, the delightfully plush “Boss Cat” at The Cat’s Meow, and Bob, the black-and-white hardware store pro with his own red T‑shirt, a loyal fan club, and very firm opinions about dogs. It’s funny, sweet, and 100% Pine Mountain—proof that sometimes the best local characters have four legs and run the place.
