Ithaca, New York · East State Street
The counter keeps four things.
Whisker Hollow is at 215 E State Street, at the east end of the Ithaca Commons. We sell wool beds, leather leads, slow bowls, and a scissor nail clipper. We do not examine animals, and we do not book grooming.
The leads are sewn for lake clay and for winter salt. The beds are wool because a foam pad holds a damp smell after one wet walk home. If the fold behind a snap is already opening, bring the lead in on a day we are open. Monday the door is locked.
- 01 Wool beds Washed wool and a cotton cover, for a cold wall and a dog that comes in damp.
- 02 Leather leads Saddle stitch and brass at the fold. The part that fails is not the snap.
- 03 Slow bowls Stainless, with ridges a thumb can clean. Not a treatment for anything.
- 04 Clippers Scissor style, with a spare blade. We sell the tool. We do not clip the nail.
Cayuga clay packs the pocket just behind the snap and keeps cotton thread damp after the outside of the lead looks dry. The mud note is the rinse, not a sermon.
The door
Walk east on the Commons until the cars are back on State. The name is painted on the window. The Green Street garage is the nearest public parking. We do not validate a ticket. Hours, the winter paw tub, and the Monday close are on one page. Call (607) 555-0172 while the door is open if you want a size held.

The newest desk note is about stair carpet, lease walk-throughs, and nails, written after the September turnovers. Older notes cover inlet clay, radiator heat, and salt on East State. What the room is, and what we will not do, is short.
