My husband and I were on a golf vacation in the South last week -- Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina and Virginia. One of our favorite stops was Asheville, N.C. -- home of the Biltmore Estate (think America's castle, thanks to the Vanderbilts), some wonderful down home cooking and Maggie the Wonder Dog.
Maggie does math. Real math. As in add, subtract, multiply and divide math by tapping her paw. The smooth-coated Jack Russell has been seen doing her thing on "The Tonight Show With Jay Leno," Animal Planet and lots of news channels.
The 6-year-old pooch also can be seen hobnobbing on the sidewalks of Asheville, a friendly town with great cafes, bakeries, shops, stores and restaurants, with owner Jesse Bell-Treff. This is how Maggie describes the town in the city's official visitor guide: "I love people watching, and Asheville's climate is just right. And it's a great walking town with surprises around every street corner."
Surprises like Maggie.
When in Asheville, you also might want to check out Three Dog Bakery, 21 Battery Park. It was closed the evening that we found it, but looked like a very inviting pet bakery and store, including a section for cats called "Pity the Poor Kitty." The store calls itself the world's first bakery for dogs.
